sarah's wedding: photo theft edition

sibling photobomb!

the great thing about facebook is i can still have a blog even when i don't take all the pictures!  thanks to my mom, my brother's partner david, and college friend teresa for documenting all the fun!

i'll probably continue with wedding photo overkill once my sister's friend and photographer, oliver, gets her some digital images.  such a good day to remember, it's definitely worth the excess of pictures!

my gals

so one of the things about planning a wedding, which i'm pretty sure was single-handedly invented by the collective internet consciousness known as pinterest, is engineering some new, creative, ridonkulous way to ask your girlfriends to be in the wedding party.

feeling that a boxed gift set of ugly, decorative, oversized diamonds was a bit over-doing it (not to mention the fact that my brother once bought me an ugly, decorative, oversized diamond from a gas station in indiana), i decided to flex my skills at photoshop instead.  i sent my ladies (well minus my sister who was already maid of honoring it up before steve and i were officially engaged) these awesome greeting cards with their lovely faces stitched onto the bodies of truly the least lucky bridesmaids the fashion world has ever known.

fortunately for me, none of them were too offended!  now that my girls are all signed up for the 2014 wedding-showdown i finally can show everyone my handiwork!  when i went to walgreens to pay for the cards the guy at the photo counter was very excited when i asked for my order.  "i hoped i would be here when the bridesmaid cards got picked up!"

hope everyone is having a happy wednesday!
