After the Yes, Before the 'I Do', and Everything In Between: Bridal Luncheon

Today was very important to me. I have a lot of people that hold a very special place in my heart and in my life. They are all in my life for a reason and I don't feel like any friend is more important than another and that isn't something I expect everyone to understand or agree upon. Some of you may already know that I have been struggling with the 'who will be my bridesmaids' aspect, and it honestly has resulted in a lot of serious thought and conversation between Dom and I. We love our friends and family dearly and do everything in our power to never hurt anyone.

That being said, please meet my wonderful wedding party!

I had asked all of these girls to meet at the winery on Sunday, August 29 at 2:30pm. I think some of them knew what was going on, but I attempted to keep everything a secret for the most part. Despite the very warm temperature, I think everyone had an enjoyable time.

From the beginning of our engagement, I knew I wanted to come up with a unique way to ask the girls to be a part of our wedding. So......over the past couple of months I have been working on a couple of craft products; paper dolls, special cards, and a charm cake. I have posted some photos from Sunday.

ENJOY!
