There's not a ton to say about this set of photos, but it captures a lot of the dancing and fun times everyone was having both on and off the dance floor!
Engagement Ring I've mentioned previously how I wanted to wear just a wedding band once we got married, without an engagement ring. Because of that I wanted to keep whatever ring we got pretty simple, so we decided on a white gold solitaire ring with a .3 ct diamond. We really liked this diamond as it had an inclusion, but it was in a spot where it's barely noticeable and still looks really good (good cut and color), but was several hundred dollars cheaper than an equivalent diamond with smaller inclusions. The staff at Shane Co is the best and made sure we found exactly what we wanted and made sure the ring was sized properly (it took me a few attempts to find the perfect size). Less than a month before the wedding we made our way back to Shane Co to get our wedding bands and move my diamond from the ring to a pendant. Since we were trading it in, we were able to put the value of the white gold solitaire towards the pendant and wedding bands, which was really nice. I ...
For our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner we opted to keep things super simple. Since it was an additional cost to have the rehearsal at our wedding venue, we decided to just do it outside at a park right next to our apartment complex. For the rehearsal dinner we rented the clubhouse at our complex and decided to do a pizza pool party, but unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so we weren't able to use the pool. We ordered Mod pizzas for those of us with allergies and way too many Costco pizzas. People just weren't that hungry apparently. I'm really glad we didn't do anything fancy, because by that point in the week I was exhausted and a bit stressed, especially since the weather forecast for Sunday couldn't seem to decide if it was going to rain or not. I ended up falling asleep on the couch during the dinner, in cause you were curious on how wiped out I was by this point. Last minute (like, right before we were heading out the door) I threw together th...
In the almost 5 months we were engaged, we did a lot. We traveled a lot. We ran a lot of errands. We cooked a lot. We unpacked so many boxes. It was a busy time for sure! I thought I'd share some of the photo highlights we have from that season of life. We sent Alina a lot of ring shots. #sparkle Fun times during Camp Jitterbug. On our last day in Vancouver for Lindy Bout, I planned a surprise breakfast party for Kaleb's birthday. Meetings with our friend/officiant, Josh. Lots of unpacking after getting Kaleb's stuff back from smoke restoration. Fun times at Big Sky Weekend. Poker with the Millers, Tiana, and Daniel. Buying patio chairs at Fred Meyer. We bought a new dresser from Ashley Furniture at it was delivered a few days after my bridal shower. Instead of a company picnic at work, they took us to a Mariners game, which was lots of fun.
