Our Special Valentine's Day
Mike and I have decided to write our own vows. We are excited to compose our own special words, but aren't quite sure to go about it. We were discussing options Sunday night. Mike was so cute, as were in between periods at the Blues game, googling "writing your own wedding vows." We had an awful connection, but hey, we were in Box seats....so we are not complaining!!! (Thanks Bobbi and Tina!) Anyway, we decided to put our search for ideas on hold to watch the blues WIN! We ended up having a half day today due to the weather. I decided as one of my gifts to my valentine (or valentimes, as my kids say), I would compile a list of questions to answer/tips for us to complete to help us write our vows. So, tomorrow night, that is what we will do for our valentine's night :) Mike doesn't get home from work until late, so we are having a special date night this weekend too. I am really excited to get started. I have a few ideas, thanks to Pinterest, of ways we can display our vows in our home after we share the special words with one another during our ceremony. Wish us luck!

What Can you do with your Hands?
One of the toughest decisions so far has been over paper. Such a simple, everyday thing we use....paper. Having a background in wedding world, I understand the effect a simple thing like paper can have on a wedding. Paper can make or break the details of a great wedding. Details are my specialty. Bobbi trained me to have an eye for detail. She taught me how not to photograph a piece of paper and how to create an artistic photo that captured the amazing things that paper can do. Such as give personality and character to a wedding, it alone can define what your wedding is, means, etc. We consulted with a few wonderful invitation, or as I call them wedding paper, companies. There was one set of ladies though that left me beyond impressed. And what I like best about them, they fit our wedding vendor "must have" criteria. They are real people that came and acted as themselves. They understand the industry and are confident in themselves. And they simply do outstanding work. They work to get it perfect for you. They listen and create and create and listen. And one more perk I love...they are sisters. I think they are perfect for us too because of that. They get family. I get family and working with family, as I work with Bobbi. So, who are they, you ask??? Clever Hands Press: http://cleverhandspress.com/ These lovely ladies are artist! We have been working with them for almost a month and each convo we have, I get more excited about them and what they are creating for our big day. Thank you Caitlin and Cara for doing such amazing things with your hands, minds and hearts! You are a gift! Just one more vendor added to our list of exceptional people! Words cannot express how blessed we are!
Wedding Party Gifts
One of our favorite things to do together is go to the Cards game! We love sitting in the bleachers and cheering on our favorite team! We had decided early on that we wanted everyone that was closely involved in our wedding, to a game with us :) So, our tickets arrived last week.....all 40 of them. The day after our wedding day, we are taking our immediate families and wedding party to the Cards game to continue our wedding weekend. We could not be more excited!!!
