"I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine"

The inspiration of my uplighting... I took the plunge and added 20 lights for our reception room. I think a pink glow will make the room feel gorgeous and elegant. I'm so excited!!

I love the overall look of this wedding (knottie unknown) - I am taking bits & pieces of it to create our day!

I found this on another knottie's page (I forget who?) -  Before the wedding FI and I will write a letter to each other expressing our feelings for each other and why we fell in love. The letters will be sealed and added to the wooden box along with a bottle of wine & 2 wine glasses. The box will be nailed shut. We get to open it on our 25th wedding anniversary. If there comes a time in our marriage where we are just ready to give up we are to open the box, drink the wine and read the letters before making any ridiculous decisions.

I will find the box and we may add a few pictures or something to make it more personal, sort of like a time capsule. We will have it on display in our house until we can open it. I would like to incorporate this quote somehow:

"Love seems the swiftest but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century." -Mark Twain
