wedding binder

I told y'all I would come back to it...

Meet my wedding binder.

A collection of all things wedding from flowers, to the cake, to the venue, and more! Like a huge bridal magazine of only the good things. It was that hide it under your bed until you've dated someone long enough for them to think you are not a freak if they were ever to come across it kind of quirk. My friends even thought I was crazy when I first showed them, but eventually, they all had little sleeves in my binder for themselves. My love for weddings probably began in the 4th grade. A classmate and I would stay after class to help clean up my teachers classroom while she graded papers. It would always delay us going to after school, which I loved. On top of that, my teacher at the time was getting married so we always got to watch A Wedding Story on TLC. Do you remember that show? When B and I got engaged, she wrote me reminding me that, "I now get to have my own Wedding Story."
It was such a sweet memory.

 I created the binder one summer back in high school and it's just grown since then. I would keep all kinds of inspirations and tips for all seasons. A few weekends ago when Heather came for a visit, we could not help but laugh at some of the ridiculous things I had saved. Like wedding etiquette and who should be informed via a phone call verses a hand written letter? I must have pulled out that page before text messaging and social media. Other than being a great laugh, I had saved some great ideas for the big day.

...or maybe I am just an OCD organizer.

Have a great weekend y'all!
