Of course I'd love to own a handbound book! Thanks for the chance and as always, the inspiration. 🙂

Hey hey, Rachel! Come on down! Email me at elise.blaha@gmail.com.

Thanks for the kind words about the book. I am hoping to stock up on supplies and then take orders for custom books this summer. I will keep you posted. And I will try to arrange the video how-to. I may need to get P to be the videographer for that one..

More thank yous for the insight on the wedding planning. I do understand that there is not a "right" or "wrong" way to do these things. I do believe that this day is a celebration of E + P love. And, I have been overwhelmed by the excitement of some total strangers and some close friends. I am trying to ride these waves of excitement and not worry so much about anything else.

Excellent.

    I’m not married (or even in a relationship), but I definitely look forward to the rollercoaster that is wedding planning.

    being the the home stretch of wedding planning, when all the people who said they would support you no matter what you wanted to do are now throwing a fit that you don’t want chocolate cake (honestly- does it really matter that much?) a word of advice:
    THIS DAY IS ALL ABOUT E + P LOVE.
    and that’s it.
    you two do whatever you want. do not try to please anyone else, because you don’t want to have any regrets about the big day.
    don’t do things just because you think people will expect them to be done. this day isn’t for anybody but you and paul, so make it exactly what you want. the fights (if it has to come to that) will be worth it.
    i do hope that you don’t have to fight about things, but everyone has different dreams + expectations for weddings, and some people can’t help but put those on you (is it obvious i’m talking about my m-i-l to be?)i hope that your family and friends realize that this is a celebration of love, and always treat it as such.
