I found some more pretties for you! Via Southern Weddings, please to feast your eyes on these g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s shots from an elopment session (!!) at an Atlanta carnival.
The color in these shots is simply amazing!
Hurray for Ferris wheels — and check out the rad color-coordination between the bride’s dress and the ride! So coincidentally spectacular! [...]

So, here’s where we are now. We have the world’s coolest wedding and reception venue. We’ve booked most of our vendors already (and i promise to tell you all about them soon!). But one big question remains — nay, looms:
How on earth will we decorate this awesome space??
As of right this minute, we’re still in [...]

So, after an unplanned wee break from blogging, i’m back with details of where at our radical venue we’ll be having the reception. Behold: the Bumper Car Pavilion!
This is the actual pavilion where recreation-seekers of yore actually crashed bumper cars into each other! There aren’t any actual bumper cars left in the space (which, honestly, [...]

I’ve kept you waiting. I know. But the venue of your dreams doesn’t come along every day. Or every month. As Joe can attest, sometimes the venue of your dreams comes only after you’ve personally inspected at least ten places, made more than 30 phone calls, studied spreadsheets, and made list after scratched-up notebook-paper list [...]

As promised, i am back to deliver you with the last venue we didn’t pick for our wedding. I actually saw this place on the same day we found our venue, so my memory is just a little clouded by the awesomeness of the evening, but i’ll tell you all i can remember about The [...]

I promise i’m getting close to revealing my awesome, gorgeous, super-fantastic venue. But first, there are two more places i want to tell you about. Both of these venues were in our Top Three, and it would have been hard to pick between them had we not discovered the place we booked.

So, with the Sewall-Belmont House out, i hit the Internet again. This time i was looking for a place that would definitely hold our (rapidly swelling) guest list for both a ceremony and a reception. After having learned about the complications of catering at a place with no real kitchen facilities (and reading about how [...]

Once we’d decided we wanted to get married in the DC area, i began scouring the interwebs for possible locations. And let me tell you, you would be AMAZED at the sheer number of possible venues around here. I found sites ranging from $1,000 to well over $10,000 — just for a site fee!

Even though i live in DC* now, i’m from North Carolina, and my entire family still lives there. Coincidentally, although he’s from West Virginia, Joe’s family is all in NC now too. So, naturally, everyone assumed that we’d come back to NC for the wedding, and i’d get married in my hometown.
Wrong.
Don’t get me wrong [...]
