Wedding Season

Love is in the air. Does anyone else feel it? I know so many people getting married this summer. It’s just that time of year. What can I say; I was one of them last year. It has gotten so bad a times that just to keep up with who was engaged, married, or having children (new category) I started organizing my friends on facebook into such groups. It has helped keep track. I must say that I’m am so excited for all my friends getting married. It is an exciting time in life. I love seeing everyone's pictures and how happy they are. There is such a spark in engaged/newly wed's eyes. It's beautiful really, how happy these two people are to be starting out on the journey of  their lives together. I really wish we lived closer so I could actually go to one.


I love when I go to view my ‘engaged’ friends list. On that page facebook puts a list of people they think should be included in your group list. I always find it funny and every once in a while I think about sending one of those people an emailing saying ‘facebook thinks I should add you to my ‘engaged list’ on facebook. You should take their advice’. I don’t know, I just think it’s funny.

Anyways, I am finally working on our wedding book. Yes, me, making the book. Not scrapbook but a bound book that I design. Apparently it’s not in style to have a matted book anymore but a book with regular glossy pages. I kind of like it because I’m not limited on pictures I can put in it and I can design each page to look just the way I want it to look. Also, I can use any pictures I want. My sister managed to be in a bridesmaid with a six month old and still great some great pictures for us. My mom is also excited because it’s cheaper (a lot) and she can also have a lot of pictures.

I am using a company called blurb where you actually download their software to your computer (it’s free). I am enjoying doing this but it is very time consuming and addicting. I defiantly recommend waiting a few months before trying to assemble a wedding album. I used to be attached to all of them but now it is very easy to pick out my favorites. Not to mention my favorites have changed. Here is a sample of the cover which I designed.

And here are just a few more pictures from our wedding. I realized I never shared very many. I'll probably post more later but her a just a few that I love to much and can't wait to hang in our house. We used Sheena Jibson. She isn't working as much anymore but I loved that she just got the moments and never once as us to redue something or pose for a picture during our reception. That was our time and she just capture the memories for us.
