The Boys' Club: A Double-Paged Wedding Scrapbook Layout
Weddings are mostly for the bride, right? Deciding on a decor theme, colors, cake flavor, location--the brides are mostly making the decisions. The brides are the ones who mostly care about photos of the wedding day, the favors you give your guests, the dance music...
I'm happy to say my brother-in-law, Alex, was not your stereotypical groom-to-be. He was right there with my sister, Caitlin, helping her make decisions from the decor to music for the ceremony and reception to the favors. He was excited to go cake tasting and to help choose a DJ. When my sister and I would have planning meetings, he was right there with us.
I knew then that Alex would always take care of my sister no matter what. That he was interested in what she was interested in and that they were partners in decision making matters. And this makes me immeasurably happy.

| Alex and his best man are goofing off before the wedding so I titled this page "Silly Boys." I also thought the man cave sign with deer head were perfect for this page. |
I wanted to make sure the layouts were fun and bright to match the feeling of the photos. But I also didn't want to add tons of embellishments like I had with many of the other layouts for the wedding album. It's like a bright, modern double paged layout right in the middle of the album--like a breath of fresh air!

| Alex with our cousin, Bradan, who was Ring Security (ring bearer) pretending to be very serious. I'm sure a lot of people wondered why my sister chose Bradan for the job of Ring Security seeing as he is a bit old for the role. He and Caitlin have a very close relationship and Bradan also bonded with Alex the first time they met. At the reception Bradan stood up to give a speech and couldn't finish it he got so emotional. I think then, the wedding guests realized why Cait chose him for the job. |
