highlights & happiness.

i appreciate you all putting up with my absence these last couple of days after my sister's wedding.  we traveled back to chicago late on monday and i'm still in big time catch-up mode.  

today i'm sharing some highlights from my week in northern michigan, which almost exclusively consisted of non-stop wedding projects.  it was exhausting, exhilarating, a little insane, and definitely gratifying, as saturday was just about perfect.  it all came together, the weather cooperated beautifully, and there was so much love, as there should be! 

and finally, perhaps some of my favorite photo moments of the night: the "royal wedding" balcony kiss(es).

 

{my thanks again to k & k for sharing these with us so quickly!} 

as you might imagine, i have plenty i could still share, including some diy tutorials and gift ideas that i think (hope) my readers will like to see, whether you're planning a wedding, standing up in one or just attending!  but i don't want to inundate and overwhelm, so i'll spread it out, maybe even keeping some things until next spring, when everyone is gearing up for the 2013 wedding season; we'll see!

in the meantime, i want to say THANK YOU again to everyone who helped us Crarys pull this off.  diy weddings are a lot of work, but one at home is close to impossible without everyone who offered their time, ideas and muscles.  we are a little overwhelmed by the incredible support we received.
