My mom, who ended up looking totally appropriate and totally smashing if I do say so myself. However, I have to admit that here before the ceremony she was driving me absolutely batty and my SIL had to run interference!
Getting ready to walk down the aisle! Here you can see the evil dragon lady trying to fix my veil, and there are a bunch of pictures of me making faces at her because I didn''t want it over my shoulders and she kept moving it, and i was telling her NO!
Exchanging rings...we were so emotional, but we were glad that we didn''t quite cry! Unfortunately, we don''t have any pics of the first kiss since the priest didn''t really announce it, so we were totally caught off guard and only did a super quick peck on the lips!
This was during our outdoor pics after the ceremony when I started to melt. Our photog. had to run to get more flashcards, so we were talking, and I think it''s funny that it looks like we were arguing, even though we totally weren''t! I can''t wait to see the pro pics from this part...we did a lot of romantic poses and stuff!
Our adorable flower girl and ring bearer kept coloring pictures from the kid''s activity book and running all the way down to give them to us during the pictures! They were soooo cute!
The cake! It was sooo good, we had 3 different flavors! White with white chocolate, marble with milk chocolate, and white with mango! I''m so excited that we actually had a whole satellite cake left over, so now we get to eat that AND save our anniversary layer because the cookies were so popular!
Cutting the cake...we actually had a ton of trouble getting a piece out! It came out totally mangled, but we still had fun! No smashing for us, just a little icing on the face!
This totally cracked me up! My family has this squirrel candle as an inside joke, and we regift it to different members at different times. It was last sent to my brother and sil as a housewarming gift when they bought their house, so it was totally hilarious that my dad''s gf made it a veil and they put it on our cake table! I loved it!
Our too cute flower girl and ring bearer dancing! These two literally stole the show! They met for the first time at the rehearsal, but danced together and played together for both nights straight! They were even holding hands and kissing on the cheek by the end of the night! What little heartbreakers!
DH and his buddies doing a ho-down during "Cotten-eye Joe," another of the "do not play" songs that the dj did play. I can''t be too mad about it though, since we all ended up having fun dancing to the songs we didn''t think we wanted to hear!
Me hugging my bm who caught the bouquet...I really hope she is next! She''s the only one of my friends who is in a relationship who is not engaged...and she''s been a liw for 6 years!
Okay, last one for now...a pic of our wb's in the box. Our photog. took a TON of bling pics when I wasn't around, so I really can't wait to see them!
Had enough yet???
Thanks for looking and letting me share! I love being able to show everyone our day since you all were such a help and support throughout this whole crazy process!
Seriously, you look so beautiful and glowing [your makeup looks great, by the way ], your dress is stunning, I am *in love* with your flowers, your BMs look beautiful [Hi Robbie!], and really, everything is just so pretty, and your little flower girl and ring bearer are beyond adorable. Your DH [YAY!] is a real cutie, too. And that squirrel candle! I was definitely laughing at that! Oh right, and your cake is perfect! Have I done enough gushing yet, do you think?
These pictures are so stunning- I can''t wait to see more!
By the way: What are the small dark purple flowers in your bouquet? I think I need to incorporate them into ours because they are just the color we were looking for!
