Tags: challenge, etsy street teams, etsyfast, etsygreetings, jet, wedding design challenge Wedding Challenge StoryWelcome to the first chapter of the Spring Wedding Challenge. The Jewelry on Etsy Team (JET), EtsyFAST, and ETSYGreetings street teams have come together to offer their members a creative Wedding Challenge. Members are challenged to design a “jewelry”, “fiber”, or “paper” item inspired by a featured bride’s wedding details. The bride and groom were chosen from another online community, Our Little Universe (http://wedding.ourlittleuniverse.com ). The teams have gotten information from the couple on how they met, what they’ll be wearing for the wedding, what are their colors, and any other tidbit they wanted to provide as inspiration for all the designers. When each designer completes their creation they’ll post photos of it on flickr and from April 22 to April 30 the public will get to vote for their favorite creation for the wedding. Now … meet the bride and groom!
Autumn and John have agreed to let us share their wedding story and plans with the entire internet world as our inspiration couple for this wedding challenge. They both met over 2 years ago at their kids daycare. It must have been fate that they both picked the same daycare! They both knew some of the same people but really didn’t know one another. John was living 1.5 hours away at the time so they started emailing one another and chatting online and finally met for coffee in April 2006. They kept the relationship casual for a while and finally in September 2006 they started dating. John moved back to Columbia and into Autumn’s house in June 2007 and as Autumn says “Things have been really great.” Ain’t love grand?! Autumn’s and John’s relationship has evolved perfectly and they have a blast with one another. Autumn says that John “is such a caring, giving, funny, gorgeous, beautiful person who makes me laugh every day- and goes out of his way for me and my son without even hesitating.” Autumn’s son, Gabe, adores John. John is very patient with Gabe and plays with him a lot. John helps Gabe get ready in the morning. He helps him get dressed and even helps him brush his teeth. He is such a great step-dad!
