The reason why my nephew had to help drive stuff back from Waldenwoods was...because... I had some BIG stuff for the wedding. Remember these?
My wine barrels. I love love love my wine barrels. They were perfect for our ceremony. Were they worth it? To me, yes. To Wes? Not sure. We bought them from a winery in Pennsylvania. It made for a great day because Wes and I had such a lovely Saturday driving through the pretty parts of New Jersey. Unfortunately, we had to lug them to Michigan. And, they had/have to be stored outside my mom's house... until further notice. Well, until we move out of our condo or until I can bring myself to sell them. I hoping to use them somehow in our future detached dream house. Did I mention that I love my barrels? One of Wes's groomsmen, Mike, asked me why there were wine barrels in Wes's truck and I suddenly was fully aware of how crazy it was to have all this wedding decor and I felt really embarrassed that I insisted that we drive these things across the United States. But, after we rolled our barrels out by the lake and I was able to see the how it looked all put together, I felt that each piece of decor was well worth the effort.
Another big item was the vintage vanity. This I feel a little less guilty about because 1) it was free and 2) it came from my mom's basement so a lot less travel was involved. I saw a picture of a vanity that someone has turned into a chalkboard online and I thought, well that would make for a cool menu board. Remember the menu?
