Packing Up and Last-Minute Changes

WeddingCenterpiecepacking2

Any wedding is lots of work; large or small makes no difference. A destination wedding, though—one that’s pretty far from your hometown—I believe involves just a bit more work and organization. One of the biggest challenges for me over the … Continue reading 

New Galleries, Site Update!

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

Howe Caverns Virtual Tour

I’ve finally posted the Howe Caverns Virtual Tour photos—from our visit in 2010—under the About This Wedding tab. You can take a gander here: http://journeytothecenteroftheearthwedding.com/about/howe-caverns-a-virtual-tour/

Bridal Shower & Howe Caverns Final Planning Weekend

Under the Galleries Tab, you can check out the Surprise Bridal Shower that took place on July 8, 2012, at Two Steps Downtown Grille in Danbury, CT here: http://journeytothecenteroftheearthwedding.com/galleries/surprise-bridal-shower-july-2012/ and a short video of the recent final planning weekend up at Howe Caverns here: http://journeytothecenteroftheearthwedding.com/galleries/final-planning-weekend-at-howe-caverns-august-2012/

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/

The Howe Caverns Wedding Legend

Howe Caverns’ underground “Bridal Altar” has been the site of many weddings—a guide when we visited in March of 2012 said 635, to be exact, but I’m sure that number increases with each passing month. The very first wedding in … Continue reading

Howe Caverns Souvenirs

Souvenir5HoweCaverns

When Nathan and I were kids, we weren’t allowed to buy lots of souvenirs. Now that we’re grown up, we usually don’t say no to ourselves—within reason, of course. Howe Caverns’ Gift Shop is amazing—something for everyone, and lots of … Continue reading
