10 years ago this June I married my best friend and went camping for the first time. It was a huge leap as we had only been together less than a year. We didn’t plan any of it ourselves, we just showed up. It was beautiful, by a lake surrounded by family. Well just Kyle’s family, and actually just his mom’s side.
Afterwards we made a lot of promises to have an “official” wedding. We’ve been sort of planning on and off, trying to decide what we wanted. I’m not sure if it was the pandemic or if coming up on our 10 year wedding anniversary pushed us, but here we are. This October we will be having a wedding with family from all sides and our close friends.
In planning our wedding we knew right off that we would be setting Goth as our main theme. While Kyle is and has been a punk since he was in middle school, deep down I think he leans into the darker side. Kyle and I have also spent a lot of time learning about his Nordic heritage and fell in love with stories of the Vikings and will be including some Nordic pagan traditions like handfasting.
Over the next few months I will be sharing lots of details about what we are doing for the wedding as well as where I find things. We would also love to hear about your experiences as well and any ideas you have that we may want to incorporate.
