Way back on August 17th, Edward and I tied the knot in Portland.

It was a great, very small, intimate wedding. We had about 50 guests, my cousin officiated, my dad was in the band (so my mom gave me away), and we did the best we could with a minimal budget. My dad and his brothers played Queen's "You're My Best Friend" as I walked down the aisle and it was so much fun.

It was perfect!

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures, I hope you enjoy!

And if anyone ever needs wedding tips, let me know!

Best bridesmaid's ever!




Me and my perfect angel mom, beating our pre-wedding jitters with mimosas (DO RECOMMEND)


Small and sweet


Do your own flowers!!! I went with my mom and bridesmaids to the farmers market day of to buy dahlias and roses, and they came out beautifully! And it was only like 50 bucks. The filler came from my parent's yard.

Spring for lights if you're having an outdoor wedding, the cost is totally worth it.


Boogyin'










You're so pretty.


My cousin's have really cute kids.


Don't forget to feed your guests, weddings are exhausting for everyone.


Our cake topper idea didn't work out so we went with pretty flowers. I bought my cake from a bakery that's been around since the 40's, and it was so delicious and so reasonably priced. I recommend staying away from trendy new bakeries, they charge a lot more than traditional bakeries.



Pink champagne cake!


Anyway, I hope all of these linked Facebook pictures work. If not, I'll upload them and try again!

These are great photos! It looks like an awesome wedding fo sho

Wow, you look so pretty in these pictures! I can't believe Edward wore tennis shoes though. >.> At first I was like "oh that's a nice suit" and then I saw the bottom and I was like "wait what."

Your cake is gorgeous, by the way. What flavor was the filling?

Wow, great! Don't worry, I'm not sad that I wasn't invited, I had a great view from a nearby tree. >_> _>

Your dress is so elegant and I love the lights.

OH MY GOSH you look so lovely! I love your dress!

the cake is so pretty and natural looking. It's kind of sad but I forgot how it's pretty normal to use real flowers... fondant is everywhere now ...sigh...

Anyways congratulations!!! You and your husband are such a cute couple. Is he wearing asics? I respect that. YOUR FLATS ARE ADORBS.

SO CUTE!
You and yours are adorable. I love outdoor weddings. Mostly because of trees + string-o-lights combo.

Thanks for sharing!
