Our wedding is finally over, but now it's time to carry the practices we followed and the goals we set for our special day into our married life. We aim to buy less, use less, and make less waste, and to lead healthy, happy lives for ourselves and the planet.

Welcome to Our Wedding Website!

Travis and I are so excited about our impending wedding and marriage.

I set up this website / blog so that our guests will be able to keep apace of everything that's going on.   We're not sending out any paper invitations; all of our communication with our guests will be via email and this website.  I also established it so guests and others can learn more about the green lifestyle, something I aspire to, but am still far from achieving.

We plan for our wedding to be wholly unconventional.  It's really just a picnic at which we just happen to be getting married.  I want it to be like an Edwardian May Day celebration, with guests picnicking on blankets spread in the grass, children blowing bubbles, and everyone flying kites and playing croquet.  I recently asked a dandelion (that is I made a wish while blowing off the seeds) if it was going to rain on my wedding and it said no.  So get ready for a wonderful day, next Earth Day.








P.S. I do have rainy day plans just in case the dandelion lied.


Recycling: It's as easy as...

This is the packing material my dad used for my birthday present: a ripped-up ice cream cone box, junk mail, and the paper stuffing that comes inside a new pair of shoes. He says if he's not so dumb that he can't recycle, then anyone can do it.

For Kasey's Birthday

Travis got me the BEST present for my birthday: origami flower bouquets made from pages of books.  He and I have talked about how, even though every girl loves getting flowers, they're always a bummer because they usually come from far away (especially roses) and they don't last.   Travis found the perfect solution.   And I can use them for the wedding, too.  Yay.  Good job, honey.
