Check out this amazingly unique wedding I saw profiled over at Style Me Pretty.


How fun! I love the 1920s inspiration. The fake moustaches are a neat, playful touch too!

Remember that video of the wedding entrance I posted a few weeks ago that has become a viral sensation? Millions of people have viewed it. Those newlyweds, Jill and Kevin, have been in People magazine, on The Today Show to recreate their fun, unique entrance and hundreds (heck, maybe thousands) of bloggers have talked about them.
Not only has this young couple shared a wedding clip that I’m sure many of us will never forget, they’re focusing the major media attention they’ve attracted to a very worthy cause – the Sheila Wellstone Institute. Sheila Wellstone was an advocate, organizer, and national champion in the effort to end domestic violence in our communities. With Jill and Kevin’s help, more than $15,000 has already been donated to the institute because of their video and Web site which is supporting the cause.
It’s refreshing to see my generation making a difference like this in local communities and around the world.
Kudos to Jill, Kevin and the rest of their wedding party for showing us all that breaking the mold is not only okay, but that you can also change opinions and touch other lives in the process.
I’m getting excited for tomorrow evening’s experiential bridal show in Mt. Juliet!
The Elegance Bridal Gala is Mt. Juliet, TN’s first annual luxuriously customized bridal experience. The attire is “little black dress” and there will be a mini cocktail hour, experiential bridal vendors, a fashion show and more! I’m especially excited about the experiential part. Not only will Philip and I get to meet some of the top local wedding vendors, we’ll also get to experience what they have to offer. Yay!
I’ll be sure to post photos from our experience!
Our wedding date and location are confirmed!
Philip and I will exchange vows on June 12, 2010 at our church home, Journey Church (aka Building 8) at The Factory in Franklin, TN.
Journey is the perfect venue for the unique, warm atmosphere we’re looking for for our wedding day. Here’s a little peek of a few other weddings that have taken place at Journey. (Just to give you a glimpse of the space.)

I love the wrought iron candle decor. They use these each Sunday at church, so I’m pretty sure we’ll get to use these too.

I’m thinking deep royal purple and baby mint green for my colors. I think these colors will look beautiful in this space. Thoughts?

Seriously Ashley. Where have you been my whole life?
When I was in junior high, I’m pretty sure I could’ve used an Ashley’s Style Guide. When I started dating, I totally could’ve used an Ashley’s Guy Guide.
All I can say is…I’m sooo thankful I’ve found you and your Bride Guide to help me prepare and plan for our wedding.
Ladies, whether you’re located in the Nashville area or not, you can learn a thing or two (or three or four or more!) from Ashley’s Bride Guide.
Throughout this process I’ll be posting more ideas and inspiration I’ve found from ABG. Her site is going to be my saving grace for helping us find reputable, fabulous, affordable vendors for our big day. More on Ashley and her blog soon!
