Planning a wedding in 4 (or 2.5) months

Taylor and I were engaged on September 25th, 2013. At this time, we were both full time students and working. It would have been insane to even consider getting married that same semester. I’m not even sure how we managed to steadily date.

But I really, really wanted to have a fall themed wedding.

So on December 6th, two and half months later, with a huge thanks to amazing family, friends, coworkers, and strangers we’ve never met, we had ourselves an autumn wedding!

Made by the hands of my talented grandmother

Flowers by Jess Lebaron. This wonderful woman had a two day notice to make these.

Yeah buddy, red converse!
