A Few Non-Pro Pics

[blackpolkadot]

Well the week leading up to the wedding, there was a chance of rain on Saturday. The wedding was outside, and we didn't really have a back up plan. There was an 80% chance of rain! We were so nervous, but it turned out gorgeous! The sun even came out. It did rain later that afternoon (we got married at 10:30), so it was perfect timing. Everything went pretty well with only a few minor things that went wrong.

- They didn't set up enough chairs (and after the whole fiasco with the chair situation, we were going to have those chairs!) I complained until they set more up... 20 minutes before the ceremony started and guests were already seated.

-DH made the specific request for no chocolate cake. Boy, we were surprised when we cut into his cake to find.. chocolate cake!
-I said I didn't want fondant anywhere on my cake. Of course, it was covered in it.

There were a few other snags, but all went well and I couldn't be happier!

We got tons on compliments on the small things that personalized the wedding, especially our music.

I would also like to thank marchswallowbird and katamari for suggesting the San Juan Islands for our honeymoon. That's where we ended up going and it was amazing! We stayed in a cottage on Orcas Island.


Now for the pics!

This is the ceremony site decorated.

Here''s my little flowergirl. Right before she walked down she started crying, so we put mom up front and she ran down the aisle to mom. It was so cute. We didn''t expect her to actually make it anyway (she is only 20 months).

Everything looks so gorgeous. I love your location... it looks so romantic and peaceful. How lucky are you that it didn''t rain?!

I''m glad to see some pictures of dark brown tuxes. That''s what we are going with, but I hadn''t seen many pictures so I was a little unsure. I think yours look very nice and our other colors (light blue and light green) are similar to yours as well.

Thanks musincy, Hudson, wannaB, honey, Dannielle, Porridge, bee, idream, Tuskcins, katamari, and gaby.

Now I have a few more non-pro pics! It looks like it might be a while on my pro pics

, but I guess that's expected.


Me and the girls on the bridge.

You might notice I have on rainboots. Even though it didn''t rain the day of the wedding, it had been raining all week. So I wore them during pre-ceremony pics.

My three great aunts came and they all decided to wear the same blue dress. It was so funny. People kept asking them if they were triplets, and they would say, "Now, why would you think that?"

Since we had a morning wedding, we just had brunch food: mini quiches, muffins, and ham and biscuits are on this table. I

the flower arrangement. I wish it wasn''t cut off, but you get the idea.

And finally, my 2 flower girls and the ring bearer on the swing.

 

[idreamofcushions]

Beautiful! I love morning weddings.
