Looking to get together to coordinate Lures, Gyms, and stuff. Lets go Team Blue!
Somehow, I won both New Hampshire and Virginia in the 2020a mod. I didn't think it was possible, but holy crap it is.

I found these posts so helpful during my planning process - I hope someone finds mine similarly helpful! For privacy reasons I won’t post photos or identify vendors by name, but if any New Hampshire Wedditors would like more information, please don’t hesitate to PM me! There was only one business I would not patronize again, and it was not in New Hampshire.
Location: Lakes region of New Hampshire, where my parents live. We planned from Raleigh, NC, where we both live.
Overall vibe: Classic, midcentury-inspired garden wedding with a highly edited guest list (we invited 57 and 43 came) and knock-your-socks-off flowers. Planning every last detail wasn’t important to us (we definitely ceded control to my parents in a few areas and didn’t mind), but some things were priorities for us and we held onto those. Keeping our guest list small was important not only for COVID-19 precautions, but also to make the most of our budget.
What went wrong and how it impacted the day: There were two major events the day of my wedding that impacted the day, and one event before the wedding. Pretty much everything I wish had been different about my wedding had to do with those three things - and they were all completely outside my control.
It began raining HARD halfway through our outdoor ceremony. After the first reading, I looked out at my 43 guests, huddled under umbrellas and looking thoroughly miserable, and stopped the string performance of our musical blessing to move everybody onto the nearby veranda. Embarrassing at the moment, but necessary! The rain didn’t spoil our day, though it did cause some disappointment re: photos (more on that below). It also made our wedding video, recorded on my husband’s GoPro, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Hearing the guest commentary on the video after the fact helped me relax about it; everyone was of good humor.
My parents’ dog spent the wedding weekend in and out of the emergency vet’s office, and sadly had to be put down the day after the wedding after a very brief cancer illness. (Rest in peace, girl.) Apart from the emotional toll on my family, this affected the day-of timeline because my mom was at the vet the morning of the wedding while we were getting ready.
Finally, our 3-year-old ring bearer tested positive for COVID-19 two days before the wedding. This meant one of my closest friends dropping out of the wedding, too.
