    My wedding according to Instagram

    This was my wedding day. Bits and pieces of it, anyway. It was perfect, in my eyes. 1, 3: Lanterns that we hung everywhere in the sanctuary. 2. The altar. 4. My beautiful, beautiful bouquet! 5. Our rings. 6. Owl cake toppers! 7. A beautiful pie 8. The amazing cake that my aunt made for me 9. Cakes in jars! Me with my wedding-day makeup on. Gosh, I wish I could go back and re-live the wedding part of the day. It was wonderful.

    1. Boots, orange tights, and one of my favorite dresses (from Sarah With a Bow) = fall attire! It’s getting cold enough here that I can’t go without tights any more. 2. This belt makes me feel like Wonder Woman. 3. Favorite tights, favorite new shoes (My first Modcloth Purchase. LOVE.) 4. I made Milk Tarts for the first time under the teaching of a wonderful friend.

    Our first (we may travel up to his brother, who took these, to have more done) engagement photo session was taken at/around the park where we initially both really wanted to get married. However, since we’re getting married in the winter, it’s pretty much insane to want to get married in a brick buildling with no glass in the windows and no heat. So we can only dream!

Minus the whole he-touches-her-and-she-dies bit. I hope you…

    Engaged: a preview picture

    We had a few engagement photos taken yesterday by Mr. Owl’s older brother. And all I can think when I look at them is that I am marrying the most attractive man on the planet.

    Happy birthday, to my favorite person in the world. Thank you for taking my pictures, thinking I’m beautiful whether I’m in jeans with no makeup or a dress and all prettied up, for being as much of a Lord of the Rings nerd as I am, for being silly with me, for knowing just what to do when I cry, for playing Mario and Donkey Kong and pretending we’re five, for praying for me, for protecting me, for being honest, for being kind, and for having the perfect Mr. Rochester-(soon to be Aragorn-) esque hair. You are without a doubt the most interesting, wonderful, hilarious, and attractive man I know,…
