Pocahontas' Wedding Pictures

Yah, I'm a senora!  DH and I were married on April 23, 2009 in La Romana, DR.  Despite some of the hiccups, the day was absolutely perfect!  Our group of 27 enjoyed themselves, got along fabulously and no one got seriously ill.  I, on the other hand, came back with a cold and sinus infection, but I'm positive that was due to not eating well and partying too hard; oh well it was so worth it!  Words can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am to be married, but truthfully I'm a bit sad the wedding and all the excitment of planning a wedding is over.  I wish I could do it again and again (with the same husband, of course).  Ours was the first DW in our family and group of friends and it exceeded all mine and DH's expectations, and if we're to believe our guests this was the case for them as well. The icing on the cake was definitely the fact that my parents who weren't originally loving the idea of a DW couldn't stop raving about how beautiful, intimate and special our wedding was AND they continue to share this sentiment.  Needless to say, DH and I are so thrilled that we had the kind of wedding we wanted and that it all worked out so well.  Anyways, enough of my gushing...onto more important things...pictures!

The dress (Madelaine Gardner private line) and shoes (cheap flats from Spring).  While I covet Meresal's fabulously sexy CL's, I wanted shoes that wouldn't make me taller than DH and would be comfortable enough to wear on cobblestone and dance the night away in.  During a casual day shopping, I came across this satin pair with rhinestone embellishment that matched my dress perfectly.
