So allow me to vent for a minute…
This is what happens when you Google image search for “lesbian cake toppers”. I have searched for this before and it just doesn’t end well. Most of the time they sell individual plastic brides. You can get a blonde butch girl in a tux or a brunette butch girl in a tux (obviously with short hair). You can get a blonde femme girl in a dress or a brunette femme girl in a dress (obviously with long hair). I just want to give up!
I think we have decided to not have a cake topper. I’m kind of sad about it but I’m not going to settle for something that doesn’t actually represent me! If anyone has any ideas where we can get some “normal” looking ones (not cheap looking) let us know!

Thank you!
So excited for all of our new followers and people supporting us through likes, comments, and reblogs! I hope that our honest documentation of the year leading up to our wedding will help others who might find themselves in a similar situation to ours. Soon, things are going to get real and we’re going to be talking about our stuggles with venues, finances, and big decisions. Bigger than centerpieces and guest lists! Thank you again for your support. Love you all - near and far!

Our beautiful church, Old South Church in Boston. We can’t wait to profess our love for one another and make a commitment to each other in the sight of God, our congregation, our family, and our friends. Over the last year, it has been amazing to grow into and learn about and connect with our faith. We wouldn’t have been do this alone, so I thank God for send me Jess to share this journey with. Amen!

Fall is our favorite time of year. We LOVE Fall funtivities. Some of our favorite memories have been created in apple orchards and at farm stands. Every year, we kick off our favorite season with a trip to the Topsfield Fair - America’s oldest agricultural fair! This year, we brought our friend and personal paparazzo Jess to the Fair and got some really quality engagement photos. You’ll see more of those soon!
Until then, here’s a shot of us from last year, enjoying some delicious apple cider! We hope you like cider too because rather than toasting with champagne at the wedding, we hope to have a cider toast!

So I figure you’ve heard from Jackie enough now it’s my turn to post… I want to talk to you about the process of wedding planning. Now the hetero brides have it easy! They plan a wedding and for the most part their future husbands just sit and nod. As you can probably tell our wedding isn’t going to have cute bride and groom wedding cake toppers. First of all they are so tacky and second of all neither of us is a man. And as you also may have guessed having two women try to plan the same event is, well, NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE! We each have different opinions on EVERYTHING from hymns to envelope liners (which I think give an extra added touch dont you think?) Don’t get me wrong. I have loved every second of wedding planning. I’ve been dreaming of it my whole life. I’ve been buying wedding magazines since high school (although now I’ve gotten a bit out of control. Don’t ask Jackie how many she’s thrown away lately!) I see so many cute ideas in magazines that would be perfect for MY wedding but not OUR wedding. I have to take a break and remember who this day is actually about… us. Not her. Not me (although I’d like to think so). The key word that anyone should remember when planning a wedding is compromise. You want the day to reflect the two of you. Don’t worry about the “hottest wedding trend”. Worry about what is going to make the day special for the two of you!
