Hi all,
I am getting ready to put together my wedding album .... again...dont ask Any who this time i am planing the whole thing out before i get started so this will be the last time i have to do it. . My question to you is the journaling. I have a weeding album and it has the basic questions but it is kind of dry. Any one have any thoughts on things that i should include. I have of course the story of how we met. This album i think is going to be the engagement and the wedding...well minus the stuff that i put in my journal in at the time I want this to be a walk down memory lane when i read it. And when my kids to know this story by heart. There are going to be a large number of pages... that is just the way that i want it to be. But i dont want people to get bored looking at it or for it to seem repeditave. So what about this day and time do you feel is important to record. Or what storeys would you like to read in someones wedding album.

Oh thought of one more thing. How should i wright all this. I was thinking that it should be like i am telling a story. I have a problem when i journal i like details and some times they get in the way of the really point. So hmmmm in what style do you feel it is best to journal?

I've done 2 wedding albums as gifts and I didn't really have any journaling! LOL!
But I did list names of people in the wedding party and include things like the invitation, readings and songs lyrics from the first dance.

I would just start writing down my memories, thoughts and impressions of the day. Don't think about the scrapping part, just remember everything about it you can. Just a freestyle association as if you were telling your best friend about it. Don't edit or censor, just write as much as you can. It could go on for pages with things like, "I remember when I woke up that morning, the first thing I did was look out the window to make sure it wasn't raining. But the skies were clear and bright." You might even sit with your husband for awhile and ask him about his memories of that time, after all he was a major player in the event and the kids would love to know about his memories, also. After you've finished, let it sit for a day or a week and then go back and re-read it. I bet you'll know almost immediately what you want to include and what you don't. Just a suggestion.

I have the invite and the napkin, The card that hubby's sis brought in the morning when she came to do my hair. ...... Hmmm i wonder if there is a way to get newspaper stories for the day? It was one of the biggest snow storms in years. My mil got stuck in a snow bank on the way to set up the nigh before and we had to get the parking lot plowed so that our guest could get into the church.
