Our Honeymoon

We had a great time on our honeymoon. It was my first cruise and I loved it! Here are a few pics...we also swam with the dolphins. I have pictures of that but I have to scan them first. That was probably my favorite part of the whole trip...it was unreal!

Cool Gift

Check out this cool Christmas gift I got from Julie. It's called "Coolligraphy". Personally, I think the name is kind of cheesy but who am I to criticize! The artist has probably made tons of money making these pieces. Colligraphy was developed by Daniel Nie in 1987. He uses the principals of ancient oriental characters to transform and create names into original hieroglyphic designs. You can find a list of symbolism here.

This would be really neat to incorporate into my wedding too - maybe on the program or invitation. I thought this was such a unique gift. Just knowing that there is not another piece of artwork in the world that looks like this is pretty "cool" to me.

The Best Wedding Present

Pam had a painting made for Brandon by one of Brandon's favorite artists, Jason Kenning. The painting is freakin' awesome. The main picture is a tree and within the tree are drawings of Pam, Brandon and Cora. The background is made up of lyrics from Pam and Brandon's favorite songs. This has got to be the best wedding gift I have seen yet.

Omaha's not all about corn...

I got back from Omaha, Nebraska late last night. I was there for Pam and Brandon's wedding. The wedding was beautiful! I have added a few pics below. I didn't get a lot of shots since I was in the wedding. I can't wait to see her professional shots. I just know they are going to be awesome.

The ceremony and the reception was at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. This was a super cool venue for a wedding. There were big, white leather couches and ottomans throughout the building. Pam had a face painter and kids area for all of the little ones. They also played some kids songs like the Hokey Pokey. It was a very kid friendly wedding (PB&J sandwiches too).

Stay tuned for more pics.
