When we were small, my best friend Lindsey had a notebook with worn edges that completely baffled me. In profile, the pages didn’t stack together as they should. They looked swollen and perhaps waterlogged, as if they’d been a victim of someone’s flooded basement. Once inside, it became clear the reason for these ruffled pages– she’d meticulously cut hundreds of images from magazines and pasted them in with an Elmer’s glue stick: billowy white dresses, men in crisp tuxedos, and multi-faceted diamond rings, page after page of luxuriously beautiful images of wedded bliss. I didn’t really know what wedded bliss was. I didn’t have a dream-wedding book; I had a self-diagnostic medical guide with dog-eared pages where I’d circled dermatological conditions that I thought were particularly cool. I tell you that to that to tell you this: I was not a conventional bride.

Cathe and Megan had been together for seven years when the Supreme Court announced the decision to legalize same sex marriage. “We became engaged on that date and started planning our wedding,” said Megan. “We wanted a small wedding for our immediate family and appreciated the all-inclusive packages that they offered. Knowing that they would handle the setup and venue arrangements was important since we are a busy working couple. When we found out that the Old Smyrna Firehouse was an option, we were sold.”
Kip and Heather wanted a Halloween wedding as unique as their relationship–but without your stereotypical orange and black. “When we first talked to Sweet Grass, we didn’t really know what we wanted.
