    Okay, the girl with the tattoo up her arm… is so small! Holy Moly what a height difference. I've never experienced that, me being 5' 10" and all.

    Also, have you ever been over to the gawkerverse?… they have a weddinggawker that, I have to tell you, even after 10 years of marriage I love to look at.

    here's the link:

    Weddings are beautiful! I never get sick of looking at pictures like these. They are so inspiring for non-wedding times as well. My wedding brought out my craftiness that was dormant for over 10 years…6 years later I still love wedding magazines!
