I have blogged about this before. Twice actually… before our wedding and then around our one year anniversary, but when I shared our 5 year card on Instagram last weekend and there was a lot of interest so I thought I'd stick it on the blog as well for future or current brides who are…

Long, long ago, I mentioned a plan for our wedding table numbers. I ended up scratching the design, but keeping the idea. Our new table numbers were folded gray cardstock that were stamped in orange ink with Martha Stewart foam number stamps. Guests at each table were encouraged to sign them knowing they would be…

Tomorrow we will have been married for a year. I have some thoughts to share about the first year of marriage. (And I am going to ask Paul to write down his too.) But right now I wanted to answer a fun question I got when I asked for blog topic ideas. Would love to…

I'm pretty sure my claim over the domain eliseandpaul.com is going to be up in the next few days and I never shared our wedding website here on the blog. So if you're curious : here it is. (Thank you, USC, for offering Introduction to HTML as a 2 credit class.)

Our dinner was on a terrace on the seventh floor of The Citizen Hotel. The weather was lovely so the windows were open and we had a pretty great view of the state capital. We sat at our own table in front of the dance floor. I loved that we had a chance to talk…

After photos, we were able to get down to the main floor of the hotel for the last part of our cocktail hour. We decided not to do a receiving line (takes too much time and is still so impersonal) so Paul and I split up a little bit and joined up a little bit…

We had checked into our honeymoon suite at the hotel earlier in the day and used it and it's huge balcony as a location for most of our bride and groom shots. The striped wall paper is my favorite. It's reason #1 for picking this hotel. I love Geoff and Lisa for getting these shots…
