I think one of the most magical parts of the wedding day is when the bride and groom are standing facing one another, holding hands, and reciting their wedding vows. As I think about it, maybe this is my favorite part of the day. I have always thought it was when the doors open and the groom sees the bride, but just writing about the vows, and thinking of what they mean to me in my own marriage, makes me think that *this* part is my favorite.

It's Friday and we're feeling generous! There's a giveaway today! We're giving away this beautiful calligraphy gold-foil print from the Southern Weddings Shop, featuring those amazing vows!

Here's a closer view of the print itself!

Things have progressed quite a bit since I was asking "Will You Be My Bridesmaid" to my best friends. I think I might have sent them a text. Really fancy.

Now there are plenty of ideas to make it more special for your leading ladies! I was browsing around on the internet the other day looking at calligraphy and saw these adorable free bridesmaid printables on Something Pretty. By the way, how beautiful is this website?

Of course, I'm most partial to the mint card, but the peach and grey are equally good looking as well. :)

Just the other day I was pinning around on Pinterest and I saw the image below:

I stopped in my tracks because I realized that was one of OUR images! This picture from Katie and Jed's Panama City Beach wedding this summer has been getting lots of action on Pinterest, probably because it is such a cool idea!

This particular wedding band was customized with the brand of the groom's cattle ranch and some custom scrolling to look like tooled leather. The ring was made custom from Reads Jewelers in Fort Worth, Texas.
