I love all things wedding. I can't help it, I just do! I myself have been happily married for over five years now and yet I still feel compelled to collect wedding things: invitations, programs, magazine clippings, etc. Now, I'm not a total freak, I do have sisters who will benefit from my habit someday. But today I wanted to share a few pix from a wedding I participated in yesterday.

The place settings were lovely! Each place"mat" was a single sheet of 12x12 scrapbook paper! How cute is that?!? * I've also seen them used under center pieces too.

Another thing I love is using monograms on wedding things. This couple had pearl "W"s in the flower arrangements!

Both the bride and groom had been married before and the whole bridal party was made up of their children. They included a sand ceremony that was not just the bride and groom pouring sand together, but also included the kids too. It was really neat.
