I'm doing 31 things
It is hard to have a non-traditional wedding. Not so hard to have it I guess, but to get any help planning it. Everything leads you to the age old traditions that are much overdone and many outdated. We had a fabulous time at our wedding. We held the ceremony at a lighthouse near our home, which was owned by BLM. Our ceremony was short and held on the bluffs (in the morning). We followed this with some short tours of lighthouse, and trips to the top =) Then off to the cove about 4 miles down the road for kayaking and a BBQ. Everyone hung out at the beach or did their own thing in the afternoon, and then reconvened for pizza for dinner. It was a fabulous day, and relatively low impact. In addition, one of the things we put on our registry was a donation to Sierra Club, for which we had a few takers.

I am most excited about my invitations from twisted limb (www.twistedlimb.com) which are all recycled and contain wildflower seeds that people can plant after they get them (plant the whole invite – so cool). Also, we made a honeymoon registry, in which people can contribute to our honeymoon experience, rather than getting us more stuff. That way we can register for things we actually want, not things we feel obligated to register for. Overall, looking forward to the whole event!
