I met FI, Wayne, on the Microsoft campus in Texas, where we both work. He had only been in the U.S. 6 months when I met him and I was determined to make him mine hehe (He’s Canadian). My plan worked!

E-ring and wedding band (ignore my jacked up middle finger- i used to play video games professionally lol and that is my "gamer finger")

 

Original save the date magnet (before we moved up our wedding date because of peak season pricing)

Magnet by www.favorlady.com

 

My brother had a custom stamp ordered for me in my wedding colors- too cute. I love having a gay brother! lol

I had part of the back cut off after the last bustle.

Shoes are Pour La Victoire, Laela and I looooove them. They sole is my “something blue†and it comes with rhinestones that say “I†and “Do†underneath on the arch. They also come with a cute tiffany blue bag

My TTD is from David’s Bridal. My real dress is super heavy and FI said I would drown lol, so I got this light chiffon one. I also wanted something similar with a lace up back

Because the flower girl dress was pool and not traditional white, I had a hard time finding a coordinating flower girl basket. Luckily I found someone who was able to customize the colors J. Etsy, Romancing Juliet Bridal http://www.etsy.com/shop/RomancingJuliet

 

 

The ring bearer pillow is a Nautilus shell

I used the same seahorse punches from my programs, as well as a sand dollar one (Michael’s craft store) to distinguish between my two meal options (for the servers)

 

 

I purchased two hand-painted parasols on Etsy. One says “Just Married†for photo op, and the other says “Thank you†which we will pose with and will later be our thank you cards for gifts and on our website.
