    These salt and pepper pots are so cute-perfect for our kitchen! My boo and I aren’t married yet but maybe someday and then we’re shooting for a secret city hall ceremony, which I think is the most romantic thing ever.

  23. We got married exactly 1 year ago today (June 11) in Wilmette, Illinois, at the Baha’i House of Worship – the only one on the North American continent! :) It wasn’t a requirement, but as we had family coming from all over the world, we felt it was a great destination instead of somewhere in Northwest Ohio.

    We got married out in the sticks at a yacht club and thought no one would attend because it was so far from, well, everything. But, 9/11 happened 4 days before our wedding and we had a ton of people who showed up (many who rsvp-ed no) to do something fun and happy while our nation was in turmoil.

    I must say, even though I wanted a wedding (simple and with no more than 40 people), it was a good decision, and I would do it again

We had lived together for about a year and right before he left on an 8 month govt vacay, we got married on Hunting Island Beach with a few group of friends in attendance. The chaplain who married is a friend of ours and I was actually their oldest sons t-ball coach. His wife took our pictures and my friends were actually the ones that planned everything.
