All of Morgan's wedding stuff

rodent · May 24, 2008

I know I’m early, but I finished my last project tonight & wanted to take a walk down photobucket memory lane. If you want more details about any of this stuff, check out my BDW blog. I tried to provide all the info there.

My first DIY project. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t6412

This was when I started to love this forum. I had only been a member for a week & everyone was so wonderful helping the noobie make a monogram. I wish you could see how it progressed, but I made the rookie mistake of deleting my photobucket files. I started off with some bland fonts & bad colors. After some advice from the forum, I ended up with a logo I love and a bunch of new friends.

The day we got engaged. We were on a hike with Mike’s family in the North Carolina mountains. He proposed on the top.

The ring

My save the dates

My first shot at a siggy collage  See there is hope for all of you that think you are DIY challenged.

Engagement pictures (snapshots by a friend)

First pair of shoes I bought. Not as cute in person so I’m wearing them for the TTD instead. To cheap to worry about shipping back.

There is more…

OK, now it is over. 11 months worth of wedding planning! Thank you everyone who gave me feedback, encouraged me to keep making stuff & made this whole process a blast. I never had any intention of planning my wedding. I was just going to show up in Mexico & get married. Finding this forum changed everything. I had fun, saved money & learned new skills by being a DIY bride. I can’t wait to share this all with my guests.

Big Thank You!!!!!

I also attached a newletter I emailed our guests about the coba trip & deep sea fishing so they could pick which one they wanted. There are lots of pictures.
