Seriously, though - this experience, before being engaged or even THINKING about being married, made me feel comfortable putting on a wedding. Within ONE WEEK, we put everything together, and it is DIY in a real Vermont sense, not in a crafty-blog sense (though I wish someone had DIY'd the hems on the men's trousers, sheesh) - if they hadnt spent $ to get electricity to the land, they would have spent around $2000 total. And yes, she's 28 here. Older than MANY brides on APW, for sure. Dress: made by me Hair and makeup: me Bridesmaids dresses: fabric hand screen by a friend of the groom, dresses sewn by my mother Arbor / benches for ceremony: made by the groom Venue: bride's family farm Flowers: wild / arranged by me Cake: bride's aunt Cupcakes: my brother Food: potluck Photography: me, her sister, etc. (http://www.flickr.com/groups/1113584@N24/pool/with/3646095434) Maybe I could do a "wedding test run" post for you, about the experience, and how it's feeding into my own wedding planning??? Hee. Ha! Seriously, though – this experience, before being engaged or even THINKING about being married, made me feel comfortable putting on a wedding.

This is youuuuu. Well, not you as in yours, but you as in you wrote it. Someone sent me a link to this post (of course) last year, and I was like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really great, but it's so awkward that the bride is 16." And she's NOT 16. Suddenly it all becomes clear. Off to look at pictures of their baby. AHHHAHAHHAHHHHHH! This is youuuuu. Well, not you as in yours, but you as in you wrote it.
