Karen and Michelle’s colorful (blue-centric), laughter-filled wedding

GloTaryn — Tue, 19 May 2015 16:00:49 +0000

Photos by Amanda Summerlin The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you): Karen, Homeless Education, just learning about animated movies (find Karen on twitter) and Michelle, Veterinary Technician, reptile lover Celebration Date & Location: April 12, 2014 Greensboro, NC Our church, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro Tell us how you got engaged: No specific engagement story, we just knew over time we would be together. We initially exchanged rings in February 2012, while we were still living apart but committed to being together. By the fall we were finally able to live together, by the next spring we decided to go ahead and plan our wedding. We really wanted our friends and family to be there and didn’t want to keep waiting! What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: The overall feeling of the day was guided by the invitation from e.m. papers “Love Joy Happiness.” Everything was filtered through this lens: does it bring us love joy happiness? If yes, it’s in, if no it’s out. We had food that we loved and we knew our guests would love, we wore clothes we loved and looked smashing in, we hosted an open house […]

4 ways to go paperless for your wedding

GloTaryn — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 16:00:55 +0000

A wedding should be a day that every couple about to say “I do” anticipates with hope and happiness, and remembers fondly forever. As anyone with experience will tell you, though, planning the perfect celebration for this special day is hardly a piece of fondant cake. Even thinking about the preparation, logistics, and yes—finances of hosting a dream wedding has been known to make even the most savvy party hosts reach for a glass of wine. Glöbies will agree that one of the best ways to beat stress and still have the wedding of your dreams is to cut snail mail out of the picture. Honoring tradition is fine, but why else would anyone spend countless hours (and hundreds of dollars) creating, addressing, mailing, and waiting for 300 postal correspondences when equally elegant paperless alternatives are available? If you are new to wedding planning and are not yet familiar with the range of possibilities for managing logistics, here are a few ways that you can de-stress your planning process by going paperless: Save-The-Dates: Elegant save the date emails are a sophisticated way to announce your engagement without having to address and mail hundreds of envelopes. You can save some trees by reaching […]

Rachel and Scott’s gathering of awesome people on top of a mountain on a beautiful day

GloTaryn — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:00:23 +0000

Photos by Handlebar Studios The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you): Rachel, registered dietitian, (I LOVE READING) and Scott, aerospace engineer (awesome ice hockey player) Celebration Date & Location: 08/10/2012 Northstar California Resort Truckee, CA, USA Tell us how you got engaged: We dated for 5.5 years before getting engaged. We met while finishing up our last quarter of college. We had both already secured jobs before meeting, one job in northern CA, one in southern CA. So, after a couple years of long distance dating, we moved in together. Scott proposed to me in the town where we met, after recreating our first 3 dates (Starbucks, frozen yogurt, pizza and wine at a beautiful lookout). And I said yes! What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: We just wanted the people we love and who love us most to be there for the wedding. We tried very hard to only invite people we both know. We ended up inviting a few people who only one of us knew and giving a “plus one” to a single friend, but it was so wonderful to look out at our guests during the ceremony and […]

Angela and Alex’s organic farm wedding for Oregon locavores

GloTaryn — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:00:56 +0000

Photos by Lucille VonTron The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you): Angela, resource conservation manager (I’m an emergency preparedness geek) and Alex, recycling program manager (surfer) Celebration Date & Location: 07/29/2012 Mt. Hood Organic Farms Mt. Hood, Oregon, USA Tell us how you got engaged: Alex and I met in 2005 during our graduate school internships for our county’s solid waste division. Our love flourished over a large-scale worm compost system, and adjacent cubicles. We got married after we both settled into our current environmental jobs, and after we had the money! What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: Choosing a gorgeous and comfortable setting for us and our guests, and a setting that was also meaningful, were our top priorities. Gosh, actually – there are so many competing priorities when planning such a big event! Local food was also super important, as was having as close to possible a zero-waste event. The overall feeling we created was being close to nature, and natural. We didn’t decorate (who needs to in such with such a beautiful, tasteful venue in Mt. Hood Organic Farms). Are you adding any fun twists on tradition: Photobooth! A […]

Michelle and Anders: 3 Hundred People, 2 Artistic Venues, 1 Romantic Story

GloTaryn — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:30:28 +0000

The Glö-Couple: Michelle, a teacher + Anders, a pastor Celebration Date & Location: September, 2011 The Southern Theater, Reception-Gallery 13 Minneapolis, MN USA Tell us how you got engaged: On the evening of Friday, April 1st (yes April fool’s day) Anders told me, Michelle, he was going out with the guys for a drink (I was fooled!). I was at home with their roommate and friend, Jill. Around 9:30pm, just as Jill and I were making plans for our weekend night, my phone rang. Anders asked me to meet him at a favorite local spot of ours–a lake in a regional park near our house. My initial reaction is “No! It’s dark and cold.” Then I realized what was happening. Jill and I got really nervous and excited and then I got in the car to leave. When I arrive at the lake it is dark, but then I saw Anders with a lantern and he led us down a path to the lake-shore. We came to a canoe with more lanterns attached to the ends of the canoe. We got in and Anders paddled us across the lake. Anders recapped some of the wonderful memories we have had together […]

Liz and Tom’s woodland wedding celebration with family, friends, and bonfire (s’mores too!)

GloTaryn — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 12:10:50 +0000

The Glö-Couple: Liz, media coordinator for San Francisco Symphony & Tom, photographer & freelance sound engineer Want to meet them?? Liz can be seen vicariously through the San Francisco Symphony’s website and interactive educational site Keeping Score. Tom is alive and well on www.tombalazs.com. Celebration Date & Location: October 2011 Liz’s parents’ home Northport, Leelanau County, Michigan USA Tell us how you got engaged: Hate to burst your bubble and sound lame, but we don’t have a big story. (Editors note: Pretty much NOTHING about this sounds lame to me. It all sounds rather fabulous!) It was just “time”. One day we found a ring we liked on Etsy. Two weeks later we placed an order for it and a custom wedding band. Four weeks after that we told our families because we thought the rings would show up about soon. Turns out US Customs had another idea (goldsmith is in Ireland) and the rings finally arrived 3 weeks later. We then celebrated by having a half-baked flash-frozen deep dish pizza flown in from our fave Chicago pizza place, Lou Malnati’s, and cracking open a bottle of 1999 Dom Perignon we’d been saving. Oh, and some french macaroons. What’s the […]

Alyssa and Evan’s Lunch and Lawn Games at the Blueberry Farm

GloTaryn — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 11:00:10 +0000

The Glö-Couple: Alyssa, a Software Engineer & Evan, a Technical Support Specialist Celebration Date & Location: Courtesy of Bybee Farms August 2011 Bybee-Nims Blueberry Farm North Bend, Washington, USA Tell us how you got engaged: We had been dating for a little under four years when Evan proposed. He proposed on Valentine’s Day, which provided a good cover for the elaborate plans. Here is how it went down: Evan had a whole day planned for “Valentine’s Day” full of various activities. I untied a ribbon on the schedule to reveal a special thing that we enjoyed about our relationship, and then we did that thing. For example, I untied “running together” before we ran a Valentine’s day race. While we were eating dinner (another thing we like doing together), I unwrapped the saying, “We can do anything together.” He gave me a photo-frame with two pictures: on the left was a picture of us taken while I was undergoing chemotherapy for a rare type of ovarian cancer, and on the right was a picture of us running in a race a couple months after the treatment. I started bawling. Then, he told me to turn around to see my family […]

Fenella and Stuart’s British Countryside Funfest (and Ottoline’s welcome to the world party)

GloTaryn — Fri, 13 May 2011 11:00:55 +0000

Photos by PearTree Pictures You might recognize this couple from the Glö homepage and examples page. I just love their story. These two were best friends for 15 years before they fell in love, decided to get married, and then had a beautiful little girl named Ottoline. One day, Stuart decided that there was no one else he’d rather spend his life with than Fenella. But it was quite a wooing process, complete with a Shakespearean-esque sonnet, candlelit home-cooked meals, and many late night talks about love, commitment, friendship and marriage. Finally a formal proposal came about in the most unexpected of places. How do I know so much? Because Fenella is one of my closest friends and Stuart is right up with her in my book. To top it all off Fenella and Stuart were among the very first Glö beta-testers, so for me they’ll always hold a special place in our Glö-history and hearts. The Glö-Couple: Fenella, a management consultant & Stuart, a company director Celebration Date & Location: August 2010, Pekes Manor, Chiddingly (near Lewes), East Sussex, UK Tell us how you got engaged: We had just been to a wedding in Texas. We had only […]
