The Wedding

We loved our wedding. Was it The Best Day of Our Life with capital letters? Probably not. We've had plenty of amazing days since then, thank goodness! But it was a really, really wonderful day, and it was sacramental and beautiful and something we'll remember forever!

When we were engaged, I blogged all about our wedding planning adventures. After all was said and done and we were happily basking in newlywed bliss, I recapped the whole thing on the blog. For a while, Spirals & Spatulas was somewhat internet-popular in the wedding-planning world, but now it's just fun to look back on all the wedding fun that happened 5+ years ago (and the wedding-planning world can find much better content through a quick Pinterest search!).

A trip through the archives will give you a TON of wedding-related reading material, but if you're looking for something specific, here's an outline of most of the wedding posts:
