We made it!
I had so incredibly much fun over the weekend when my fi and I got married. It was a fantastic and magical day with so much good energy and so many good people. We dance Argentine tango (and I teach it) and this was the first big meld of family, dancing friends and non dancing friends alike. It was wonderful! Even the mess-ups were instantly funny. ALL the guys (and the moms too!) forgot about their bout-s/corsages until everyone was about to walk and last minute scrambling ensued. Then my trailing veil got stepped on right as I made it up to the front. (Luckily, as I tell everyone, I am a trained dancer and so I reacted so quickly everyone said it looked very graceful, but confusing.)
My "Man of Honor" was my roomie in college and has a photography degree, so he used my little point and shoot to take photos so I could be sure to have some pics right away. We didn't have an "offical" photographer, but several family members and friends have very very nice cameras and were also taking photos for us, and I thought to myself "Hey, these are tango people, we are not going to be short in any way on photos!" so we just decided to let it ride and see what candid photos turn up.
In retrospect, I do understand now why one might want a photo-journal from a pro so you can be sure you get nice photos of others at the wedding because I feel that is missing right now, hopefully some nice action shots of the dancing and of the general gathering will surface soon. Even so, I'm still not sure I'd do it any differently if I had it to do again.
Anyway, here are some of the pics from my point and shoot camera.
My floral arrangements made by my cousin's flower shop. I was so thrilled with these and couldn't have been more honored that they took all that time to make such an amazingly saturated color scheme for me. It was just what I imagined!
Mercury Hall, a lovely old church that was moved to the location a few years ago, whitewashed and so simply charming!
