A look back at my wedding



Thank you to my amazing friend, and brilliant photographer Andy Delva, who came up here and took pictures when this low budget mess was going down. He gave me amazing shots even when I told him we didn’t want to stop and pose for anything. Without Andy, I would have had no pictures of this day at all. Thank you also to my amazing, creative, and hard working friends & family who enabled us to throw the whole shebang for under $2000.00 (dress and suit included). Especially my sister, who made my bouquet when I told her no flowers, iced my cupcakes, sewed yards of bunting, made my garter, crafted the bridesmaids headbands and even made Josh’s Boutonniere and countless other things. Finally, thank you to my husband Josh for taking my “make something out of pallets for the stage” statement and turned it into a piece of art that was perfect for our wedding.

The night before our wedding I get a text from Josh asking "Will this work?"  I still think it looks like magic.

I found these cake toppers from 1988 at goodwill the week after I got engaged. They were $1 and I loved them.
