My Favs..

I thought I would blog about a few of my favorite parts of our wedding.  While everything was pretty much perfect, which sounds a little cliche, but it's true.  Chase and I have tried to come up with something that could have been better or we wish would have gone differently and we can't come up with anything....well not that we would have it any other way BUT our bar tab for the wedding was the biggest bar tab Silver Lakes has had at a wedding in SIX years!!  What can I say....our group has a good time.  

There were a few particular parts of the wedding that I just loved.  One was our wishing tree that Amber came up with.  Instead of doing a sign in book or something like that she created an actual tree (Hobby Lobby style) and cut out these cute cards and everyone at the wedding left us a sweet note, words of wisdom, or something funny and hung it on the tree.  It was so much fun to look at these after the wedding and we are actually going to carry on the tradition.  We plan to fill out a card every anniversary and special occasions.  I also think it would be cute to have the wishing tree at a future baby shower (one day maybe).

My other favorite part of our wedding was our special  little project.  If you didn't already know, I am pretty much obsessed with looking at blogs and diy crafts and things of that nature.  I found this sweet little idea of HE and SHE posters that the bride and groom write about one another.  We added a little twist and we did them secretly and a teacher friend of mine made them and I took them to Hobby Lobby and got them matted and framed and we revealed them at the wedding reception.  I carried those things in the back of car for weeks and never looked at it because I love surprises and I was so excited to have that to look forward to during the reception.  Chase told me over and over that his was better than mine because I made mine a little more funny and his was ALOT more deep. He was right...his was definitely better...I cried and so did everybody else.  I shouldn't be surprised because he is the deeper one of the two.  Regardless, we now have them hanging in our house and will forever have them to remind ourselves of how we feel about each other and have a little piece of our perfect day every day.  Here is a picture the wishing tree and our HE/SHE project.  Hope you enjoy!  

Finally I'm giving a honeymoon recap.  We had six days full of travel and site-seeing.  After missing our flight Sunday morning at 7:15am, (too much fun at the wedding reception) we flew out of Atlanta and headed out west.  We started in Lake Tahoe, Nevada/California.  We stayed three days and fell in love with the small town feel of this gorgeous place.  Next, we traveled to San Francisco, California for one day which was too short but we did as much as possible.  We visited Fisherman's Wharf, enjoyed a Bay Tour, ate some great food, and walked for MILES.  Our last day we stayed in Reno, Nevada and then sadly headed home.  It was a wonderful trip that we will remember forever.  It was a perfect ending to our wedding experience.  Here is a link to some pictures from the trip.
