NYC City Hall weddings

When Alex and I stopped by City Hall four years ago to pick up our marriage license, we saw a bunch of couples tying the knot. Some wore tuxedos and puffy white dresses, some were in casual clothes and one entire family was wearing Mets jerseys. It's a giddy scene over there. I always thought it would be a fun tourist destination; you could spend an hour on the steps outside and people-watch. Or throw confetti!

Refinery29 recently stopped by City Hall and snapped photos of 21 happy couples; see the full slideshow here.

Would you get married at City Hall? Did you? xo

P.S. Wedding with a pink dress, and my friend's City Hall wedding.

Pinhole Press weddings

My friends' company Pinhole Press—known for their photo stationery and notepads—just launched a series of amazing wedding suites. You can make photo invitations, save-the-dates, place cards, wine labels, coasters, whatever you'd like. How sweet is that?

Another cool element are the wall decals, which you can easily peel on and off, so you could create a gallery wall in your wedding venue! How adorable would it be to show childhood photos, family photos, and snapshots from when you first met?

Who will officiate your wedding? Friend? Dad? Religious figure?

Would you ever consider having a friend or family member officiate your wedding? Our friends Leigh and Taro got married in the Hudson Valley, and their dear friend Everett performed their ceremony. "He actually surprised us in the middle of the ceremony by singing a beautiful song he wrote just for us," said Leigh.
Jen and Patrick had their fathers officiate an impromptu and totally unscripted ceremony. Then the dads pronounced them "husband and wife" in unison!
