My barn wedding is not a unique and special snowflake… and that’s okay!
I fancy myself an individual. I mean, I reckon we all do. And while no one has been shaped by the same life events I have, the concept of truly being “unique” is one that we rest a lot of importance on. I always figured I wouldn’t have a “typical” wedding. I’m a modest, geeky, tomboy of a girl, and I felt a good guideline for planning a wedding would be incorporating things that make me happy. I didn’t know jack about weddings when I started out planning for all this. But if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the things that make me happy also make other people happy.
Not every wedding choice has to “mean something”
I see this attitude a lot, about weddings, where everything is “supposed to mean something.” Before we got engaged, I had this grand notion that every little choice that we made about our wedding was going to be somehow representative of us. Now I can’t imagine doing that without going crazy from the stress.
How this bride entered wedding stealth mode on Pinterest
We all have at least one friend we follow on Pinterest who is guilty of obsessively over-pinning wedding stuff. Her non-stop hoarding of the typical wedding/spam pins have made me realize a couple of things.
1. Unfollow that shiznit, pronto, before you burst into an epic feminist-esque rage.
2. Excessive pinning to a non-secret board is annoying.
Enlightenment #2 made a light bulb go off in my head…
Hell yeah, kale bouquets
There seems to be a lot of people talking about kale bouquets lately, as if it’s some sort of recent and possibly ridiculous wedding trend. Are you kidding me? Not only did we feature this photo of kale bouquet back in early 2009, but the bouquet is freaking GORGEOUS! I say, get your freaky kale on, ladies and gentlemen.
