Wedding Album...

It's finally done!!! Six years and three months later (to the day...) I finally finished our wedding album. I like it. It's simple, it has all of my pictures in one place. It makes me happy! Come take a trip down memory lane with me ...

(Sorry for the picture quality here...) This is the page for the day we got engaged. Yellow bandanna is the one I was wearing when we got engaged.

The little hearts are some of the ones that I saved that Trent used to propose to me. I was working at a girls camp and I was hiking with my campers when he proposed. These were all scattered on the trail tied to flowers. They say things that he liked about me on them... Ahhh...

Some mock engagement pictures that we took our at the Great Salt Lake. We had little brine flies all over us... gross.


Our REAL engagement photo shoot. Also on this page I put a copy of our wedding invitation.

Bridal shower page. I saved one of the invitations from the bridal shower my friend Ashley threw. Just lots of pictures of people sitting around...

This is my bridal picture page... pretty lame if you ask me. I didn't know what to do with this page so I just sewed some fabric on there. I don't know what that's suppose to look like... a veil? An old Kleenex? Don't know... but one thing with sewing on paper, once you sew it on you can't take it back!!!

I LOVE THIS PAGE!!! I saved this one for last because I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with it. This is the page about the day that we actually got married and it has all of the pictures that were taken at the temple in the pages that follow. I decided to make a bouquet like the one that I had that day. We had our reception a week after our wedding so I didn't have a bouquet that day. I wasn't worried about it, but Trent bought me a beautiful winter bouquet from Costco and I loved it! It was perfect. I had a fun time recreating it. The only thing missing is the pine cone, yes there was a pine cone in the bouquet... but I wasn't sure how to do that and I didn't want to "ruin" the page so I left it out.

We had a wedding dinner following our sealing at the Lion House in Salt Lake. I wrote Trent a song when we were dating and surprised him that night by playing it at the dinner. So for that page I sewed a little guitar and printed out the words to the song that I wrote and put it on the page.
This is the page for our reception. All of the dresses that the bridesmaids wore and the sisters etc. were made, so we had some fabric scraps of everything. My cousin made me a pillow out of all the fabric scraps that has been tucked away in my cedar chest for some time. So I took one of the panels off of the pillow and sewed it onto the page. I also have a napkin from the reception and some leopard ribbon that I used to make my garter belt. I had to throw leopard print into that wedding somehow!!

Lots of reception pictures in here. Can any of you pick yourself out? Ashley, Shannon, Jules, Amy, Erinn, Berlee, Angela!!! Lots of you in there to share this special day with us!

Last but not least the honeymoon. We went up to Yellowstone and went snowmobiling for our honeymoon. It was so great! Nice to "take a break" every once in a while but it was so cold that we didn't break for long! I would love to go back there in the winter and snowmobile around again. I saved a map that we had of the different trails around there.


So there you have it. My non scrapbooked scrapbook! I know that some of you think that this is the same thing as scrapbooking, but I tell you what. It was so EASY and CHEAP and fun to put together. It really didn't take any time at all. I used the same color thread on everything and didn't use one dot of glue. If you would like to review the "book scrapping" method you can refer back to it here.
