One can’t have too many test recipes :) !

I hear where you’re coming from with the photographs, but I’ve also had the experience of photography detracting from focus on experiencing the event (in favor of documenting it). Hanna hates being photographed, so I think the existence of images would be a negative, not positive, association with the day. I’d rather have her be able to remember how it felt to her, irrespective of visual performativity.

I have a couple major life events–bat mitzvah, college graduation–that I don’t really have photos of and I regret not wanting to put in the effort, because it would have been really nice to have pics of my family and the celebration.

Completely love the wedding tattoos, and rings and honeymoon ideas. Oh, and I hope you get to enjoy lots of research in the quest for the perfect wedding cake.

Everyone always looks gorgeous on their wedding day (glowing with happiness!) and I’m sure the people who won’t make it to the ceremony would love to see you.

And now I really really want a red velvet cake.

I love it all, but esp. the honeymoon part! Oh, and the cake! mmmm….. I’m a fan of German Chocolate cake when I want cream cheese frosting delivery :)

My husband and I had a small wedding, and made up really nice wedding announcements that were sent to all the people who were not going to be able to come due to distance, health, or guest list limitations. They felt informed, connected, and had something nice to keep.

Now I’m going to copy this so it doesn’t get lost again.
