Since I won't be updating Prom to Altar much anymore, here are some links to past posts and websites that might be of interest to someone at some point:

Paul and Brenda also blogged our wedding here.

I never quite got to recapping the reception, so maybe I'll do that at some point. But for now, that's that-- we planned a wedding and prepared for a marriage, our wedding was fun and lovely, and married life is swell! Thanks for following along, I've met some great people through this blog. I hope to see you (well, hear from you) over at It's Loverly!
Here we are trying to figure out how to cut that infamous cake without causing a confectionery disaster...

Our photographers, Paul Grupp and Brenda Tompkins, blogged our wedding and linked to the photos on the Upstate Photographers Blog.
They posted nearly 1,000 images of our wedding day-- the highlights are in the "Best of" album. Paul and Brenda are still editing and adding to the albums, and so far I love what they've captured.
Hello from sunny California! I hear the weather in New England is rainy and icky cold right now-- I wish you could feel the San Diego sun!
We are having a great time on our first real vacation together in um, ever? We've had beach time, chill time, exploring time... and a whole week to go! It feels like we're getting a bit of the summer we missed out on. I'm so glad we decided to do this.
I've posted some picures and a few videos on my flickr stream.
Our photographers have sent word that our photos will be up shortly, but until then, Rich just posted some of his amazing photos of our wedding weekend. Click here to check them out. I am totally impressed by Rich's skill with the camera, and I was thrilled to see some of the moments he captured. It just so happens that just today we bought ourselves a very special wedding gift: our very own Nikon D80. We've been drooling over digital SLRs for years now, so this is a big day for us. Here's hoping we can return the favor with some great images of Rich and Jen's wedding in 2 weeks!
Tomorrow we're headed to Temecula for wine tasting and vineyard tours, and then hopefully a tour of the pools at the resort! I'm sure we'll make plenty of time to play with our new camera. We'll post the results!
There has been so much geekiness in planning this wedding -- from our Google Docs and Spreadsheets for our budget, guestlist, and to do list, to the wedding wiki, to this very blog. I've also geeked-out in all of the wedding blogs I've added to my Google Reader.
Some of my favorites:
- A Practical Wedding -- This stuff is gold. This is the wedding blog that keeps me in check and brings me back to reality when I feel like I'm surrounded by wedding pressure.
- Upstate Photographers- Yay! Our photographers started a blog!
- The Engaged Guy - If only he'd post more often...
- Style Me Pretty - Eye candy.
- Brooklyn Bride
- Earth Friendly Weddings
- Etsy Wedding -as if I need someone else helping to fuel my Etsy obsession... the wedding has already given me so many reasons to make Etsy purchases!
- Handcrafted: The Cure for the Common Wedding
- i heart peonies
- snippet & ink
There are plenty more, but many of them just serve to make me feel like a loser for not devoting my life to complicated DIY projects, or sad about not living in California where our wedding reception could be held under a tree with no fear of rain. These 10 are a good mix of inspiring without losing touch of reality.
meg's blog is refreshing and helpful, and her wedding is going to be lovely. i think we are kindred wedding planning souls. her tagline, 'creative, thrifty, sane' speaks to me!
there have been a number of budget-focused posts in the wedblog world recently, a trend that i appreciate. it's nice to be inspired by the WOW weddings that are more production than celebration, but it's also nice to be reminded that most of us are planning within the reality of budgets, a shaky economy, and prices that just keep on climbing. cheers to practicality!
5/2 update: here's one more! (although i disagree about #7. at least in our case, every 'non-traditional' venue we looked at had plenty of hidden costs-- insurance, rentals, rain plans, restrictions on music, exclusive vendors, and so forth).
