SPECIAL THANKS TO
Our parents, for getting us to adulthood alive and welcoming each of us as a part of the other's family.
Able Sisters Fan Crafts, Sarah and Em's geeky craft website.
The DIY Wedding, the book that got Sarah to stop having mental meltdowns over the idea of planning a wedding. Even though we didn't go all-out on do-it-yourselfing, it helped a lot to reframe the whole idea.
