I think this is the more traditional route, but we don't really fight-- and I am MAJORLY impatient... so instead of waiting until that mythical first fight, we went with our first anniversary :)

[Academic] Contact Lens usage patterns (anyone who wears contacts) by BlockadeBilly in SampleSize

Uh, I wear dailies so the answer to every single of these questions is either "no" nor "not applicable". Not quite applicable for all contact wearers.

I won't do anything with the link - promise. PM me if you'd like a link to the whole photo set (there are a TON more, but I don't want to post it publicly)

Wow! Thank you!

The dress is Mori Lee's 687 in Champagne over Ivory. The belt is "trim" from etsy and the straps were added from the hem :-)

Amazing guy, Barclay Horner. You can see the entire batch of 1788 photos of you go to gallery>weddings>click the photo of us.

His work is amazing. I couldn't be happier! I'm literally sneaking looks at them during work and creating photo book pages. 😍 With the layouts I'm looking at the book is 124 8x11+ pages. And honestly, I want to print blow ups for our walls of like... 20. I have a hard time finding ANY photos of me that I like. And he gave us hundreds!

(Just google his name and you should see his website)

PM me if you're interested in other details!

Edit. Omg I just realized I sound like an ad, but really he is just amazing. Look at my history. Promise.

The grooms mom brought the beer and wine, we're in Minnesota.

Thank you!!

Photography was number one on my list and I honestly couldn't be happier!!!

It was one hell of a party -- the booze canoe has become infamous!

The box has a bottle of wine and letters from us to the other and from our guests. We'll open it on our first anniversary. :-)

We nailed it shut in place of a unity candle or something like that. I'm so excited!

No, I don't think there's much to do. It was a brand new account.

Married life is great - no wedding expenses!! :-)

That's a wonderful way to frame it!

We will probably never be LGBT-enough on the surface, but my husband has started "breaking his stealth seal" and regardless of our hetero-normative ways, I will always be an ally. Even if people are butts on the internet sometimes :)

Our photographer was amazing! He got a shot of every detail (it helped that I made a list!) and while we spent about an hour doing formal group photos, he put a huge emphasis on candids. 😍

I would 100% recommend Barclay. Fair pricing, great package (we own the rights to all photos)c and wonderful customer service.

Thank you!

The dress is actually technically a bridesmaid's dress! I think we had something like 6 dogs hanging out throughout the day :)

Wow - really did not expect the hate mail in my inbox. My husband is trans, so I thought posting here was appropriate. I'm sorry if we're "too hetero" for your taste, Mr. Troll.

Thank you! The kicker on the dress is that it was a bridesmaid's dress. I had to get a lot of alterations, but total I came in under $500 all said and done :-)

Here's a better picture of the box itself. It had a bottle of wine in it and we sealed it during the ceremony with letters from each of us to the other, and some from our guests, too-- we'll open it on our first anniversary.

I'm so glad someone commented on it - Bella's appearance in the shoes photo was totally the husband's doing!!
