A while back I made a set of wedding invitations for an adorable couple named Jenn and Matt.

They were one of the few couples that I actually had the chance to meet – so many of my clients aren’t local. We went to lunch where they bounced off each other, firing questions left and right. But they weren’t the usual: “what colors do you have;” “can you print this on a square;” “does this come in metallic;” “will this cost extra?” type questions.  They seemed more interested in getting to know me more than anything else. It felt like lunch with old friends.

They shared cute stories of how they met (at another wedding), how they chose their reception location (they both spent a good portion of their childhood in Charlottesville, Va), and some of the wonderful ideas they had for their wedding (collecting Wedgwood china for the dessert plates…that guests took home as favors).

And, if that wasn’t enough, Jenn was friends with Christian Siriano…winner of Project Runway Season 4…wait for it……..who was going to make her dress!!

Did I mention that Project Runway is my favorite show? Oh and that I think, even before I was trying to suck up to Jenn , that Siriano was the best designer the show has ever had? Did I also mention that I will eat nothing by celery for the next 6 months if it means that I can get down to a small enough size to borrow that dress?

Oh, I did? Ok.

*back to my Reeses Cups then*

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to post about this wedding since the invitations went out, but StyleMePretty did a much better job then I ever could.  So here’s a sneak peak, but you’ll have to go to the site to see the full story.
