What a Difference a Year Makes

So, last year at this time, James and I were entering the final countdown toward our wedding day. I'm glad we both took time off from work because there was so much to get done.

I designed the programs myself so we spent that last week proofing,
printing, and assembling. I enjoyed it but James not so much! :-)

Programs assembled and ready to go!

Our centerpieces were very simple so I spent time assembling a sample for our cater to put together. The leaves inside of the candle holder had our names and wedding date on them.

A view from the top with leaves scattered about.

In this last week of "mass chaos," we had four little ones to attend too. Our fur-kids for sure felt that they needed to be part of the action.

Sophie loves to be in the middle of it all!

Being an indoor cat, this is the closest she gets to leaves.

And then it was Archie's turn to get in on the action!

Oh yes, he loves the "smell" of Fall!

The girls (dogs) also had to make their own fun. Autumn and
Brandie making a tunnel out of the cat beds.

Autumn realizes it didn't work out the way she thought it would.
Meanwhile, Archie comes over to "inspect."

Amidst all of the craziness, we found time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some furry love!

Daddy was the center of attention!

My turn dad!

Here's how the programs and centerpieces actually looked the day of the wedding!

I was going for "Rustic Elegance." I was happy with everything!

Disclaimer: No furry children were hurt during the last minute preparations for our wedding although they were a bit . . .

Bored and annoyed!

...and perhaps a wee bit tired!

Six days and counting until our first anniversary! More to come....
