Kerri Bergin’s favorite wedding detail almost never made it. With a September 2023 wedding at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs, everything from the flowers to the food was secured far in advance. But Kerri wanted something tangible to keep forever alongside all the memories with her future husband, Erik Dinardo.

Kerri scoured Etsy and found a shop called NotSporadically. “I was searching for something that would tie into the coastal, Vineyard vibe,” she said. “The second I saw the embroidered hydrangea vow book I knew it had to be the one.”

It was a little stressful though, Kerri admitted, because her search started late, and the journal would have to ship from Australia. “But the seller was so lovely to work with and she expedited the delivery so that I had it secured before leaving for Martha’s Vineyard a week before our wedding.”

Erik also had his own vow book, one he had ordered in advance.

Now, their vow books are tucked away with other keepsakes from their wedding day. “We are planning to revisit them on our anniversary and relive memories.”

Kerri’s journal cost around $50, including the express shipping. Well worth it, she said.
