The Knot Michigan Real Weddings

I received this email back in June from one of the editors at the Knot Magazine...

Hi Shannon,

My name is Jaimie, and I am an editor with The Knot in New York. I am writing because we are interested in featuring you and your husband in a Real Wedding story in The Knot Michigan.

We ask wedding photographers to send us photos of the most beautiful, fun, extraordinary wedding that they have worked on — Anne Ruthman sent us yours! From these, we select our favorites to be the handful that go into the magazine.

Best Regards,

Jaimie

As you all know, I was rather obsessive about planning the wedding, so I was thrilled when I got the email. Looks like I have a new calling in life

Wedding Album

It's been awhile since I have posted on this blog since Ms. Charlotte has taken over our life. But I thought I would post some pictures of our wedding album that just arrived last week.

Acupressure

In our labor massage class that Kayu and I took last month, we learned about some acupressure points that are supposed to induce labor. We decided to test them out and all I was left with was Kayu's thumb print on my leg. We will give it a couple of hours to see if Kayu has the magical touch =)

Pressure points.

We tried the Kidney 3.

Slow Down & Eat

nobody@vox.com(Shannon Lynn) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:00:22 -0700

Join us for a day at our 350 acre scenic farm and retreat center learning how to grow, preserve, and support local grown food. Discover local resources, learn new skills, network and enjoy two delicious meals produced with locally raised foods.
Kayu and I decided to join the hippies in Colorado (some of which unfortunately did not wear deodorant) at Sunset Ranch. We spent the day attending different workshops...composting, canning, and cheese making. Now Kayu and I dream about cheese and we are thinking about buying a cow share =)

We spotted a kitty that looked like Oliver when we arrived at the ranch.

Walking the labyrinth.

There were tons of apple trees that covered the property.

Cherry trees.

Tomato sauce and peaches that we canned.

Wedding Highlight Reel

The video is a bit grainy since it had to be downsized to fit on here....but you get the idea.

Wed Vid

nobody@vox.com(Shannon Lynn) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:13:30 -0700

We finally got our wedding video...along with some gourmet chocolate chunk n' caramel popcorn to enjoy while we watched it. I'll be sure to post the link to the highlight reel once they post it on their blog. We have six copies of the DVD...so the first ones to come visit the baby will get a consolation prize =)

Goodies.
