The WeDDing!!

August 6, 2011
         Camp Rotamer
                    Janesville, WI


I'm not even sure where to begin... Our wedding was beautiful!!  It's all about location and weather.  I think we ended up with good weather because of Karma!  I mean planning an all outdoor celebration creates HIGH anxiety and lots of hoping with no control.  In the end, the day was perfect...but here are some thoughts.

The Video Memory... I still cry each time i watch this!


I (we) picked Janesville as our location for a few reasons:
  1.  My dad paid for a big chunk of the day and he still lives there (this is my hometown)
  2.  It was over $10,000 cheaper
  3.  Camp Rotamer is Beautiful and just what we were looking for
The DRESS!!!!! 
  • In my opinion, this is the most important part of the day for the bride... besides the groom that is :)
  • My dress was WAY over our budget, but my lovely mom wanted to pay for it anyway!!  SCORE
  • I sold my dress on preownedweddingdresses for over 50% of what we paid.  HUGE DEAL... some brides feel this is CRAZY, but I decided the day we bought the dress that it would be sold after. 
  • I felt like a princess the entire time
Wedding Party:
  • Best Friends/Family ONLY!  This was hard to do and I actually lost a friend in the process :(
  • it was AMAZING to watch all of our best friends become friends throughout our celebration.  When you put the most amazing people in your life together for a whole weekend, it becomes the most fun you could ask for.
  • Everyone was looking out for us and helping make our special day the BEST WEDDING EVER.
