Stacey’s elegant stormy wedding

Stacey & JoelThe offbeat bride: Stacey, Figure Skating Coach & Graphic Designer

Her offbeat groom: Joel, Motion Capture Specialist

Location & date of wedding: Strathcona Park Lodge between Campbell River and Gold River, BC. August 25, 2007

What made our wedding offbeat: My job as a Graphic Designer was at a wedding invitation design studio. My whole life had been filled with other people’s wedding plans for years. I’d always been the one dishing out advice and helping people with their taffeta filled or very alternative plans. So when it was my turn I had lots of ideas but I also knew that everything had to be different from anything I had worked on for a client.

Offbeat Bride t-shirts are back by popular demand — and with a new tagline! A very special thanks to Nicole for coming up with Altar your thinking!

At the suggestion of a clever OBT member, I’m offering the shirts for pre-order so that I can offer TWO colors instead of just one.

So now you can choose between two fabulous colors and sizes for everyone: little girls, big girls, and big boys too! I’m offering pre-orders at a discounted price: $20, which includes shipping. Shirts ordered up until 2/25 will be shipped by 3/7.
Pre-order yours today!

Less posts for the next two weeks

Hello, ladies! This is just a quick heads-up to let you know that for the next couple weeks I’ll be posting a less because I’ve got some exciting stuff going on with trying to sell my next book! I’ll be in NYC for a few days starting this Friday, and then on the Today Show (!!!) next Tuesday 2/19 talking about my 52 Nights Unplugged project.

I normally try to post every day Monday-Friday, but for the next couple weeks it may be more like every other day. I’ll be back in full-force the week of 2/25.
