Not Our Wedding

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:38 pm by sarahdipity

So weddings are all about compromise and mostly not about you the couple.  These are both things I pretty much realized walking into the process.  So this post is going to be about Not Our Wedding.  It’s about the things I *loved* that were impractical because either a) they were too expensive, b) too far away, or c) just not going to happen for some other reason beyond our control.

Location: After thinking about it I’d get married at a Library.  If you’re feeling doubtful check out these pictures/links.  However, I don’t want to pay the fee required around these parts.  So, for sanity’s sake we’ll do without.

Some places even let you have dinner in the study room!

Dress:

I would wear something cute and tea length.  Let’s be honest as someone who is short a long dress can be a tad bit overwhelming.  Sadly my mom seemed like she’d be beyond horrified.  So I got a dress that while still old fashioned isn’t really the cute little dress I had in mind.

This amazing dress from The Selfish Seamstress would be awesome

Or this adorable antique dress

Or this dress which is not short but is a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

The fun part about wedding planning is getting to look at pretty stuff even if you don’t end up picking it because you’re a reasonable person.
