Many things weren't as I had hoped: it turned into a bit of a monster, and, frankly, we could have spent more time thinking about our actual marriage. So, with my 20-20 vision in hindsight, I think you have approached things completely the right way round!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-21555615384482400322010-06-20T12:59:57.989-03:002010-06-20T12:59:57.989-03:00Sounds honestly green to me, I've just begun r...Sounds honestly green to me, I've just begun researching eco friendly weddings, we are going before the zoning board June 21st to see if we can host weddings at our Farm, i think your selection of a location only mother nature could create is fantastic! best of luck in the coming monthsNanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09389272446709732469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-90820571393737506022010-06-19T02:06:26.851-03:002010-06-19T02:06:26.851-03:00How exciting!

And with the timeline (by the end of it, we'll nearly be at two years too.) I'm just happy for you to have this all coming together in a way that feels honest. And it's pretty sustainable too, mostly because there's not really "stuff" involved and just love, community, fun, and a lot of work. <br /><br />(and I actually hadn't read your post before mine this morning! But I think we were on similar wavelengths. This marriage journey has been really powerful, challenging, and affirming, all at once.)A Los Angeles Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082554090481175349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-31522087217292729662010-06-18T16:38:26.163-03:002010-06-18T16:38:26.163-03:00I am looking forward to it!

You have inspired us and have some amazing ideas (that we will borrow?)for when we finally tie the proverbial knot. Although, I think buying a house together counts almost as much! :)Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387430912583880104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-17617006000627617692010-06-18T15:11:04.581-03:002010-06-18T15:11:04.581-03:00Yay for green weddings!

All the candles sound very nice. A friend of mine is getting married next weekend, and has planned a very nice eco-friendly wedding. Simple but elegant invitation, asking for response by email, maps are on the website, etc. Funny thing, her grandma is making pies for the reception in lieu of cake!<br /><br />I'm a sap, but I love weddings!Jamiehttp://jamieonthemat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-23644392324682266182010-06-18T08:54:15.458-03:002010-06-18T08:54:15.458-03:00Your wedding sounds totally eco and very "you...Your wedding sounds totally eco and very "you." We threw our wedding together in 2 months, then had a reception about 3 months after that, and we tried to do everything as sustainably as possible. I think we made out pretty well--being on such tight deadlines really made it easy to cut out all the unnecessary stuff and think outside the "wedding" box. I can't wait to hear how your wedding takes shape, and of course see pictures!Vegan Burnouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647418989761380056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2965370542440002490.post-67598821299111277492010-06-18T08:19:21.167-03:002010-06-18T08:19:21.167-03:00Sounds lovely,
