the planning is done, the day has come and gone and now i'm married. the journey here was very interesting. weddings tend to bring out the best in people and also the worst. it's really up to YOU to keep a cool head and remember why you are doing this and that it's about you and your partner.
a part of me misses all of the planning and the chaos. but, everything must come to an end so i say farewell (with a tear in my eye) to the planning and the cutting and the late nights. i worked very hard to give michael and i a very special day. and, i think he actually enjoyed a wedding. better yet, he enjoyed his own wedding.
so now, finally i can show you the favors you've been waiting for. and, some pix from the festivities. i don't have all of them as yet but, i will share once i get them. so, before we get to the pix here's the catch for the giveaway. i have one favor box left from my wedding; in order to win it, tell me your favorite memory or something funny about your own wedding or any other wedding that you've ever been to. and, yes... the favors were all hand made by yours truly and some awesome bridesmaids. our favor is a grouping of recipes from our parents (between the 2 of us we have 8). the flowers were handmade, you know about these already. and, we added a little sprinkle of spices (nutmeg, from jamaica and dried pimento berry).
