Pick of the Week - August 8, 2011 (& Special Congratulations!)

A special congratulations goes out to Mr. & Mrs. Erik Dibble!  My husband and I traveled to Wellsville, New York at the end of last month to participate in the wedding ceremony (my husband was the Best Man) and celebrate with their friends and family.  Jamie did a great job personalizing her wedding and it certainly paid off!  It was a beautiful ceremony and reception!  Here's my favorite photo from their big day...

As for the Pick of the Week it's inspired from the Dibble wedding!  At the end of the reception the happy couple had their guests meet outside to release floating wish lanterns. The pictures, however, aren't from their reception since I got a little caught up in how much fun and how beautiful it was to take pictures.  There are plenty of websites that sell the lanterns where you can choose your shape, size and colors.  To make it even more personal you could even have your guests write their wishes on the lanterns before releasing them.

 Happy Planning,

Kristen

Back from Break!

Well, I hope everyone had a great holiday and an even better start to the new year!  My husband and I made it from St. Petersburg to Cincinnati to visit some great friends, then to Cleveland to spend a week with his family, and then back down to Sebastian, Florida to visit my family.  Finally, we left this morning for home.  A total of 39 hours in the car!!!  Amazing!!!  I'm just glad we arrived at all of our locations safely and were able to see so many of our friends and family. 

We were excited to hear that two of our friends were engaged over the break - congrats to Erik & Jamie and Rick & Michelle!! Also, another set of friends welcomed their first child over break - a healthy baby boy.  Congrats to Maree & Jono!  What a great start to a new year!

Well, I've made lots of new year's resolutions and I'm hoping to stick to them - one of which is keeping up with this blog!!  I'll post a new Pick of the Week tomorrow, so stayed tune.
