Here are some more details about the wedding…which is in 4 days!

Techno-Wedding Cards & Bouquet Extras:

Larry came up with the FABULOUS idea of having our guests be able to automatically upload pictures they take at our wedding using their cameras and phone cameras. Once someone takes pictures, they just send them to a prescribed email address and they’re posted automatically in an online image gallery for everyone to see, share, print, download, whatever. The gallery is already set up so if people want to snap and upload on wedding day, it’s ready to go. Yeah, we’re a bunch of geeks.

The other items clumped into this image are for my bouquet. The top one is a picture of my step-father. I printed it out and cut the image to fit this silver trinket I bought at Michael’s for $3.00. The other is something I picked up last night. I’m thinking of adding some crystals at the bottom of the one that has Larry’s name on it. Both will be attached to my bouquet so my step-father will be walking me down the aisle, posthumously.

Tree of Wisdom:

This will replace the boring guest book that is sometimes signed but rarely re-visited after the wedding. Basically, guests can complete the sentence that’s posted on a sign next to the tree. Some of them say, “Marriage is like…,” “Always say….,” “For a Long, Loving Marriage…” (Here’s a link to the pdf of the sign. I printed it out and put it in a black picture frame). We’ve encouraged guests to say silly and ridiculous things! Once they’re written what they want, they’ll hang the card from the tree.

I bought these sandblasted manzanita branches from Nettlton Hollow and arranged them in a glass vase I bought at Michaels. You can see one of the placemats will go underneath it.

I crocheted a basket to hold bird and leaf cards I cut from heavy paper. I love the birdies!

I’m going to try to squeeze in another post before the wedding but no promises. I’m busy finishing up the loose ends. No really, I’m just about done with my version of the Trinity Lace Shrug from “Crocheted Gifts” by Kim P. Werker.
