My Favorite Photographer

Just for fun I'd like to share with you some photos done by one of my favorite photographers: my sister-in-law, Alyson Cantrell.  She has the most amazing feel for it.  Check these out:

"Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes..."

Well I'm almost done with my custom re-make dress.  Can't hardly wait to show it to you.  But, in the meantime, my wedding is shortly approaching!  So I thought we'd play a little game; trust me, it'll be super easy.  Can you guess my wedding theme, based on these inspiration boards I've gathered from the far reaches of the internet?  Enjoy!

Pictures and Poetry

I Sing
by Emily  Dickinson

I sing to use the waiting

My bonnet but to tie,

And close the door unto my house
No more to do have I




Till his best step approaching,

We journey to the day,

And tell each other how we sung

to keep the Dark away.

Wander Unknown

My mind is somewhere far away lately.  We all fear the unknown, don't we.  But, I'm still learning to just hold on.  There is One to whom nothing is unknown.  And since I have given my life to Christ; I am like a child holding to the Father's hand just taking the next step for I can't see the road ahead.  It goes against my nature; my desire to control and order everything around me.  But that is God's domain.

I just love the colors of Fall.  When I took Missy for a walk today, for some reason I noticed every small detail: the trees heavy with their bird's harvest of berries, a fallen brown brittle leaf and the smell of oaks in the air.  I cannot make any of it alter to fit my mood; it's lovely and I am thankful.

On A Happier Note...

Just one of the fun things that David and I have in common; our love for the 1950's. :)

Yet So Far Away

What can I say, I miss my man like crazy...

Scenic Inspiration

Praise the Lord, I'm now engaged to the most wonderful man in the whole world!
So I thought I would share with you some wedding inspiration that I've been gathering.  I love all things Irish and so I want to have little celtic touches here and there.

Planning a wedding is  a journey that causes you to re-align your priorities.  There are a lot of lovely ideas out there and it can be overwhelming.  But thankfully the Lord is using it to remind me what is really important.  I want our wedding to honor Him above all and to be most about the sacred covenant we are making before Him.  It is more about the promise we are making before God.  The promise to love the other person just as Christ loved us when He laid down His life, for those who believe in Him.  And this will be my main theme.
