SNEAKY SNEAK INTO MY WEDDING pt.1


{ justin, giraffe, me }

so first things first...

this drawing :


is how i came to meet Justin.

He was publishing a radical Xena Warrior Princess fan fiction novel and needed illustrations, so a mutual friend suggested he get in touch with me about it.
i drew that there picture and the rest is pretty much history..

today we're about a month away from our wedding.
what we want more than anything for the day is to create a pleasant, laid back atmosphere (insert gaiety, celebration, merriment &mirth) for ourselves and our guests...

essentially we're looking for awesome, and i think we're doing a pretty good job acquiring it.

AND NOW: a few of the particulars :



in Northern Maryland's Catoctin Mountains



non-profit, it's primarily used as an eco retreat providing personal &academic development for at-risk youth



it. is. breathtaking.




i designed & hand drew/lettered each element of the invitation suite and was able to have them beautifully letterpressed by a local printer




{ "Caracas" by Manuel Mota for Pronovias }


{ 100% silk netting }



my engagement ring { handmade vine and leaf ring by beth cyr }

our wedding rings { handmade tree bark wedding rings by beth cyr }


BRAVO!

&so begins WEDDING CRUNCH TIME!

i expect to be up to my nose in wedding details from here on out so you can expect more of this nonsense to come..
