a small town wedding: guys get ready, and a gift for the groom.

Wow, has it really been a year since my last wedding recap post?  So much has changed since then!  I promise the rest of the recaps won't be so sporadic.

Last time I posted about the girls getting ready, so naturally this post is all about the guys.

My soon-to-be husband and his groomsmen were busy getting dapper at the best man's house while we were at the salon.

I could not find olive green ties anywhere for our wedding, so a family friend made the groomsmen's ties for me!  They looked great!

Here's the man of the hour all ready to head to the church.

He's not a groom until he gets a boutonierre, right?  Doesn't he look excited?  

After they were all ready, the guys took some pictures outside of the church.

When the photo ops were over, his wedding gift was delivered.

He opened the box...

and put on his new watch...

cool cufflinks.

I just found the coolest, most original, slightly nerdy in a me-and-my-fiance-are-both-engineers way, cufflinks I've ever seen! I don't think that sentence made any sense, but either way these are pretty fantastic. I wonder where one would find them... any suggestions?

love notes.

No matter what gift I decide to get for Adam on our wedding day, I think it would be ten times better with a heartfelt note written on one of these:

Little wooden cards from Paloma's Nest on Etsy. Perfect, I think. Don't you?
