I am not a photographer. I'm not a baker. I'm not a graphics designer. I'm not a wedding planner. Except... my cousin Colby is marrying the sweetest girl I've ever met (Nakita), and my aunt and uncle thought I would be perfect as their wedding planner. Wow! I'm totally honored... and scared out of my mind! So... first things first... we need to do some invitations. My mom says "Why don't you take them and your camera and go get some shots that might work for their invitation?" What she didn't add was "their invitation that you are going to make using your limited Photoshop skills". Okee-doke, I'm on it! You would be amazed at the amount of knowledge you can glean from the Internet on just about anything you need to know how to do. Slowly but surely, my SKILLZ are growing. Unfortunately for me, our family has set a high, high bar to hurdle over in the photography department: my sister-in-law, Amelia (http://www.amelialyon.net/), my other sister-in-law, Rachel (http://opdahlphotographyblog.blogspot.com/), my other sister-in-law, Heather (http://hjmbrown.blogspot.com/), and Trav's cousin, Jeramy (http://www.freckletonphotography.blogspot.com/) are all photographers. NO PRESSURE THERE!
I'm having so much fun planning their wedding - I'm thinking Trav and I should have a re-do.(With each other, of course!) Nakita is so easygoing I have to keep reminding her that if she tells me she likes every idea I have, she's going to end up with MY perfect wedding! I'd like to add - for the record - this will be the first wedding I've been involved in where Mom and I aren't making all of the line dresses. We'll only be making one flower girl dress... or maybe two. And, also for the record, although Erin and I are taking cake decorating classes, my skills in that area aren't good enough (YET) to feel confidant about making a wedding cake to be shown in public.

That is a lot of pressure! I hope it goes smoothly...or at least there's a lot of laughing if it doesn't!
How fun! You did a great job on the photos.....Oh, and I just took a cake decorating class too! It's fun...I bought a bunch of stuff for it too, but now I have to actually make a cake for someone or something, right? he he
