Wedding, part three - First Look

Kyle and I chose to see each other before the ceremony to do all of our photos. I loved having the thrill of seeing him for the first time be a relatively private moment, and it really helped to make sure neither of us got nervous.

Although the trend has been done to death, the cowboy boots belong to my beautiful sister, who couldn't make the wedding because she is broke in the land of Aus at the moment. They were my something borrowed, and I thought of her every time I looked down.

I made the ruffle myself, using this tutorial.

our photographers' website is here. They do some dreamy black and whites, don't they?

Perfect porch

wow.

A papercut map of the world by La Famille Summerbelle, who also brought us maps of London, Paris, and New York.

Can't Wait.

I can't wait to get my hands on Pia Jane Bijkerk's new book, Amsterdam Made by Hand. I loved the look of her first book, Paris Made by Hand, but never picked it up.

This one, however...
Kyle and I plan to pay a visit to Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands to see all my family who were unable to make it over here for our wedding. We want to make the most of our visit, mixing touristy goodness with a few more behind-the-scenes spots, and hopefully our budget will allow for us to pick up a few loverly knicknacks for ourselves and our home while we're at it.

A few shots from the book, gathered from here:

Oh, yes.
Available June 1, but you can preorder from Amazon (link above) now.

Married.

Our wedding was this weekend. It was wonderful, fabulous, exhilirating.

The whole wedding was outdoors, and we got poured on nearly the whole time. And it didn't matter a bit.
I'm beyond excited to see our wedding photos, but our photobooth pictures have been posted and they are hilarious. So, some photobooth favourites:

Cute, that husband of mine, isn't he? We used the E.E. Cummings quote in our vows:

"I carry your heart with me, I carry it in my heart."

more, later.
