Anniversary

 

Today is our anniversary! Yay! Something to celebrate!

The world is not normal and I am not “normal”... 

In the throws of having no resilience, after being in a pandemic for more than a year. I’m supposed to be stronger than this - that idea is not helpful- I threw it out the window. 

Our diy wedding was the reason I started the blog... 

My brain is running on zero spoons- so I sit here with a kitten on my lap... 

listening to the tree work we are having done- which I’m not as happy about like the first time... it’s taking care of the problem trees we have and improving our light and moisture issues- but my brain is so wired to see the problems and the energy I don’t have to deal with any extra details or decisions... you think I would’ve known that maybe now is not the time to add anything extra to my daily thought process... but here I am with a kitten on my lap... busting my ass to distract myself out of yet another panic attack... 

This rage all comes from a twisted perception of hardship vs comfort... and I’ve had too many hardships in the last few years that now I mostly see hardships exclusively. I mean the snappy quips and not taking any BS edge I’ve developed is quite amusing at times- but I can live without the freeze. The can’t start my brain in the morning- can’t make decisions- forgot the laundry downstairs & now I have to wash it a third time kinda stuff... 

I’ll live- whatever- I just hope that someday I get my core back- I miss me... 

Do y’all know what I mean?

Bitch, Make Your Own Wedding: Dressing The Groom!

Last Year on this very day I Married the Love of My Life.

While Planning our Rustic Bohemian Micro Budgeted Wedding we had to Trouble Shoot His Outfit.

Here's how we did it!!!

I took to Pinterest, of Course!

We also used our inspo pics to help guide our guests to understand how casual "casual" attire was in our eyes. 

It was fun thinking that everyone could feel a part of the theme this way with a good visual guide.

Our Ceremony Location, very Rustic, helped us imagine our outfits with the chosen backdrop.

As we got closer, the forecast definitely focused the level of layers that we would need to be comfy during the Ceremony.

Making a Picture Sketch really helped!

Each change up in the combos documented & logged!

We went thru and swiped back and forth for what we thought looked nicest with our theme & suited his body type best.

Our Charli Dog helped too, lol.

We helped our friend Scott who would be our officiant get his outfit together too. YaY Rustic Bohemian!

I gave him a spiff up a few days prior!

Then back to Pinterest for the boutonniere... 

Feathers n stuff! Hubba Hubba!!!

So I Made Some! awwwwww.... Click here to see how I did it!

P.S.

Both of our outfits were completed with under $200 spent!
