Having a “Marathon Engagement" (as Rachel likes to call it) has many perks. Besides the obvious facts of having a longer period to enjoy this special time in our lives together as an engaged couple there are also many practical wedding planning advantages. We are very much enjoying not being stressed to make quick decisions about our wedding day and having the luxury to search around for the best ideas and deals. So of course the number one question we get asked is “How's the wedding planning going?"
Here's the deets thus far:
Last January Rachel and her mom went to a few bridal shows around Atlanta for ideas (and of course the free goodies). There we found Gregg & Caroline Willett of Willett Photography and instantly fell in love with their gorgeous photos and hilariously fun personalities. (Fun Fact: Caroline is a Zeta too!) After chatting over coffee together we knew we wanted to book them ASAP so we had to set a date: August 9, 2014! In May we took our engagement photos with them, many of which are scattered around on our website!
Since then other details have fallen into place:
With so much time before our wedding day, Rachel is also excited to be able to create the majority of our wedding decor and details...let's just say Jourdan has definitely heard the words Pinterest and D.I.Y. a few times! More to come on that in our next post :)
Hope you have enjoyed!
