All Married Now (but I still don't know my name)!

No, it's not a country song.  I just have had a rough time deciding.  But I think I secretly know what it will be, it's just the implementation that I'm having a hard time with . . .

But who cares about that- let's see some pictures!!! Here is just a light smattering of shots from the day.  I plan on writing more about the six weeks it took to plan this wedding and all the craftiness that abounded, from the diy wedding website (now everyone can take a peek!) to the guest-crafted wedding origami invites, to the whale ring-bearer pillows, to the home-made photobooth and everything in between.  But in the meantime, see if you can spot all my costume changes . . .

9 Days Until . . .

Well, where have I been? 

Looking for a ring and getting a bit crafty for a big day that is almost upon me/us. 


The short version: we switched the date and location of our wedding to the beginning of August.  When did we make this big decision?  Five weeks ago.  Yup, I had six weeks to plan a wedding.
 :)

With all the hectic craft-sanity going on I have been trying to do some documentation, so after this whirlwind we will try to decompress and show off a bit.  But for now I leave you with this irony . . .

In a town full of jewelry stores (literally filled, Juneau is a mad summer tourist destination and the streets are lined with the same store in every port, plus more, let's say there are about 40 jewelry stores) I cannot find a wedding band that I love that fits with my engagement ring.  Any fabulous ideas???

"We should start with a list"

Cap'n is not a big list guy, and I am way-too-obsessed with them.  But yesterday over a where-to-have-our-wedding-and-when conversation he said the sweetest, most brilliant, most marrying-worthy thing ever.

He said, "We should start with a list."!  That is why I am marrying him.  And because he's really cute. 

I love also that he said, "Like the one the Rookery boys had on their wall."

Ok, for a little backstory, when my fabu friends Travis and Jason bought the local coffee shop Valentine's and turned it into the Rookery Cafe (and had me help with the design, SO FUN!) they closed for one month to get it all fixed up.  They had a hard time keeping track of everything they had to do so they made enormous to-do lists that covered the walls.

This is just one of many- think 3' wide by 4' tallish. 

Perfect.  I always love a good chalkboard wall list too.

Personally, I'm a long-skinny-flip-book kind of list maker.  

But I also have a white-erase board of listy goodness just in case I get a hankering.  

Anyhow, the list he's talking about, the invitees list, I'm afraid it's a bit long for a giant-sheets-of-paper-on-the-wall type of list.  It sounds more like a very-boring-typed-in-excel type of list.  

We'll see.

Do you live with a list maker?

What kind of lists do you make?
