We’re still receiving rocks! Our friend Lisa S brought us some really awesome specimens from Sedona on August 24, 2012. These rocks are a wonderful addition to the collection. First of all, they smell like the desert—just like the smell … Continue reading

Our 28th rock is from our friend Heather– Heather is a fan of the paranormal, so it’s natural we got to know each other better on Facebook—even if we have the same hometown in common! She recently visited The Alamo … Continue reading
According to Retrospace’s article “Fads #5: A Bad Time for Those Not Colorblind,” in the 1970s there was “a very defined set of colors during this period (rust, brick, sand, brown, gold and orange) that colored almost everything in our … Continue reading
Since this is a destination wedding, we’re combining the rehearsal dinner with a general “Welcome Barbecue” for all guests—people, we thought, might be tired after their long journey, why not offer those not in the Bridal Party an opportunity for … Continue reading

A few fun things have been added to the site in the past few days.

Rock & Shell Contributors
This page is FINALLY up to date with everything we’ve received through August 21, 2012. Because of the massive amount of time it takes to put together the booklets for the program, they’ve gone to press (it has taken an average of two to three weeks to put together each chapbook piece that has been associated with this wedding). If you’d still like to contribute, please do! It’ll go up on this site, and I may have time to do an additional insert. You can see our collection to date here: http://journeytothecenteroftheearthwedding.com/rock-shell-contributors/
Our 26th rock has some bite—it’s a fossil shark tooth! The tooth was once in the mouth of Otodus obliquus, an extinct mackerel shark which lived during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. It’s from our friends Max and Laurel, whom … Continue reading
