Everything Else Our Wedding

Three Years

How in the world…

Carlouel Wedding Ceremony

It’s hard to believe that our wedding day was three years ago. How did time pass so quickly? Just the other day, I was in a store and mentioned I was purchasing something in preparation for my wedding anniversary. “Oh! Your first anniversary?” she asked. “No – third, actually!” She seemed surprised by my answer and noted that I must have been married very young, since I still look like a baby. Oh well! I am just glad to know that (sometimes) I look younger than my real age. It’s bound to catch up to me some day…

lace wedding dress and wedding makeup

Ah, that dress. That lovely lace dress. I had to have about 50 fittings for the darn thing. It ended up fitting like a glove, thank goodness. From the start, I said I would sell it after the wedding so another bride could enjoy it…but the dress still hangs in the closet in our guest bedroom. I’m torn – I’ve held onto it for this long, perhaps I should really decide what to do with it.

vintage inspired wedding details

I still remember the planning process for the wedding. We were married before Pinterest existed (hard to believe a day before that, right?), so I had to source my inspiration from other places. We ended up with a lot of personal DIY details (my grandmother made our table linens, we created our own photo booth wall, my mom and I sourced all of the vases for our floral arrangements, we created a wish tree guestbook…), but oh, the things I would have done had Pinterest been around to fuel the fire…
