Planning | The Day
Technically, it was a 1.833 year engagement. I had to finish earning my masters degree first before I could work on the planning. During this process, we split responsibilities. He took care of all the dry logistics and I took care of all the (what he likes to call) "pretty" things.
The teamwork definitely made things go smoother. I was lucky. He is very good at planning parties. So, below is all of the inspiration we took from websites, friends, magazines, etc – formed into something we both wanted for the big day.
