my mom, or the "aunt of honor" as she named herself, gave my cousin this ring that my aunt had given her years before. i suggested tying it to her bouquet as a subtle reminder that even though she wasn't physically present she was there in spirit.
my cousin is a tall model-esque bride is she not? at one point in our lives i was taller! i swear!
my uncle, the father of the bride, has had multiple sclerosis for over 40 years. i asked him to dance with us and he came out on the dance floor wheel chair and all to party with the best of us! it was a great moment.
to help guests know they were in the right place my cousin and i bought chalkboard style poster boards and my brother used chalk markers to create personalized signs.
these place cards were the bane of my existence for a night or two. in june my cousin graduated from veterinary school so she wanted to have tables named after animals instead of using numbers. We put a sillhouette on each place card. each animal started with a different letter and they were quasi alphabetical in the dining room to help people find their tables.
to identify the tables we printed the name of the animal and the silhouette on a piece of vellum, used doubled sided tape and created tubes. each tube was then placed over an electronic votive. i was obviously at the bear table.
we fed each other some delicious berries in chocolate sauce from the cheesecake bar. once the wedding really got going it was one of the only times we had just the two of us.
i realized i almost finished the post with no pictures of the groom. oops. here is my new cousin in law and my cousin enjoying their first dance.
that was the wedding in a nutshell. questions about anything i posted, just ask!
*all pictures personal*
