Staying True...

You know when you're looking at a bridal magazine (Yes, I've been married almost 5 years and still look at bridal magazines! Don't judge me.) (: and you see something that's unbelievably thoughtful or cute and under the picture it says that it was hand-made by the bride. And you think to yourself...There's no way she made that, it's too cute. I pretty much said that with every step and story of Jonathan & Leslie's wedding. If something wasn't hand made it had the most incredible story behind it.

The bride's engagement ring was the groom's grandmother's from the 1920's....

The incredible house and land the wedding was at was bought & built by her grandparents in the 50's...

The opal neckless Leslie wore was her grandmother's...

They had her great great grandmother's wedding dress on a mannequin to have guests pin well wishes...

Leslie's mom built the Chuppah out of the trees from the back yard...

She also made her dress, the favors, flower girl dress, and the wedding cake!

The groom, Jonathan, is a wonderful artist and he sketched their Wedding programs with all the bride & Groom's history on it. 

Wow! There is so much legacy and honor in this place it's absolutely incredible. As was their wedding!
