Ring Ceremony:
Minister: "The wedding ring is a symbol of eternity. It is an outward sign of an inward and spiritual bond which unites two hearts in endless love. And now as a token of your love and of your deep desire to be forever united in heart and soul, you ___, may place a ring on the finger of your bride."
Groom: "____, I give you this ring in God's name, as a symbol of all that we have promised and all that we shall share. May it serve as a reminder that you are never again alone. Let my heart be your shelter, my arms be your home. I give you my heart until the end of time.”"

Minister: "By the same token ____, you may place a ring on the finger of your groom."
Bride: "____, I give you this ring in God's name, as a symbol of all that we have promised and all that we shall share. May it serve as a reminder that you are never again alone. Let my heart be your shelter, my arms be your home. I give you my heart until the end of time.”

It feels like it took forever, but we moved all my stuff in, unpacked most of it and with a crew of 5 last night we finished what could have taken 4 hours in 1 hour fifteen minutes... amazing!

For brides looking for a great bargain, this watch is awesome!
Its a Colibri watch that retails online for $119, I got it at www.graveyardmall.com for $35.99 and it is in perfect condition!

We took folded very nice paper, and cut it in half.
Then we punched the edges wth a stamp, cut the cardstock in the middle and put it in the grooves. We didn't buy them intending to do this, we just liked the paper punch design but when we realized what it did when you punched it, the rest just came from there :)

I finally got the bird bath spray painted and set up the unity candle inside, it looks better than I thought it would :)

I found these bags at Tuesday Morning and had all my girls initials embroidered on them. I plan on filing them with Tissues, Yellow flip flops and a yellow tank top with "Bridal Party" in rhinestones.
I also made their jewelry, well added to it... I found thesea wesome necklaces and they were so plain so I added something to spice it up and coordinate with the wedding :)

Ok, here is where your imagination comes in...
The square bird bath is going to be placed at the entrance of the yard and filled with tiny pebbles, with some fresh flowers scattered about or in little tins pails like our favors. There will be another tiny tin pail holding a pen or two (maybe even a flower pen) and the guest book. I though it really completed the whole outdoor fresh gardeny feel we were going for!

We are covering the pail with lace and putting fresh rose petals inside for the girls to throw.

The pillow is actually our exact pillow, my nephew has been practicing and plans on coming up to us with the rings on the pillow and presenting them to us on one knee! How precious :)

We are going to buy mini rose plants and put them in tins, possibly put ivy hanging down to dress it up a little, and hang them on the chair with a white grossgrain ribbon

If we rented at least 4 tuxes, the Groom's tux was free!
We also rented the periwinkle vests for our ring bearer :)

We fell in love with this place the first time we went to visit it!

We considered a cruise but didn't want to deal with a lot of travelling this go around, so we decided on a mountain honeymoon in the woods. We are very excited about our little haven :)

The very place he first held my hand and where he told me he liked me, is the very place he asked for my hand in marriage on top of this Wilder Tower in the Chickamauga Battlefield <3

These are the perfect addition for our outdoor wedding and outdoor/indoor reception!

We actually just painted them a tan stone-fleck style paint... they look amazing now and match the bigger bird baths we will be using.

One large celtic bird bath will be filled with tiny rocks and the sign in book will be placed there with some flowers and a small galvanized tin to hold the pen (Sorry, no pictures yet)

We looked at tons of cakes and came up with this design ourselves, but it looks fabulous, and for a fraction of the cost!
This is a rough look we made up of two sample top layers Mom baked, and the two larger pans on the bottom. The green ribbon is so awesome I am using it on my bouquet too!! :)

The statuette is for our 2nd cake, really just another cake topper size cake we are taking with us on our honeymoon instead of waiting a year to eat freezerburnt cake :)

One of the hardest things to narrow down since I love so many flowers... BUT

We are getting our flowers from Grafe Studios, they supply Greenlife's flowers in Downtown Chattanooga.
I wanted to go for a simple garden look with handtied bouquets of hydrangeas and spray roses to decorate the house.

My girls bouquets will be blue hydrangeas with a blue varigated ribbon, my green hydrangea bouquet will have a few roses & spray roses, and tied with a green varigated ribbon like the one on my cake.

For the "pew bows/flowers" we are taking galvanized tins from Ikea, punching a hole in them and hanging with White grosgrain ribbon and plopping in a mini rose bush from a local market... nice and simple :)
