Day 2505 – Reblog: Schaffer Behind The Scenes

I can’t believe that our very last wedding rehearsal took place one year ago. In some ways it seems like a lot longer.

I do miss writing these behind the scenes posts!

The first thing I want to say about this behind the scenes is how awesome the staff at Gramercy Mansion is! At the last minute, since the rain had stopped, they set up the outdoor ceremony site! What a great way to show the bride and groom that it truly IS their day!

Here’s a look at how things go behind the scenes at a wedding….

We try to block out your kids in photographs…

We try to sneak into group photographs…

If you don’t let us in your pictures, we get mad…

But don’t worry, we’ll follow you around to get in there somehow!

Ha ha, we’ll just go where you aren’t!

We get really sneaky…

Pssst, Bret, you can get in this one by fixing the dress!

Ok, now get out of the way!

Do you see a good spot for us to hide to sneak in??

Oooo, I’ll “help” bustle the dress!

Or at least hold the veil! Ha ha! I win!

Day 2503 – Countdown To Our Roadtrip And A Question For You!

I can’t believe we’ll be on the road in just about a month! It has been nearly 29 years since I traveled the northern states. It’s also very exciting to know that we can actually take our time and enjoy the trip this time! Some of our southern route drives have been brutal. Once, we made the drive from California to Maryland in about 51 hours. That was insanity right there.

As I prepare, I have a question for you! What is your favorite audiobook? On previous trips, we’ve listened to The Hunger Games, Harry Potter and The Wheel of Time. I’m all about a reader who can do different voices. Thanks!
