portrait of me on the stairs--this was totally not planned and ended up great, I think

ring shots are the one thing we didn''t get (it totally slipped my mind...) you can sort of see them here (we may re-create ring shots tomorrow if it''s sunny.

His is titanium with white gold and palladium makume gane inlay

Mine wasn''t ready in time for the wedding so I got married with an antique white gold band. Now I have an LOGR version of the Michael B petite crown lace (mine is 2mm)

We were both soooooo happy. It was an amazing day.

taking a break from all the excitement...

entering the reception...we got married at 10:30 and had brunch and dancing following the wedding

reception centerpiece and menu.

Each guest got their own menu to take home (since we did a donation instead of favors that was their "favor")

1/2 the tables had the fish bowls with submerged orchid, half had tall cylindrical vases with the submerged orchid, and the captains tables (we two instead of head tables which I am not a fan of) had even bigger cylindrical vases with orchids and tall stems of curly willow.

Congratulations Bella! I LOVE your flowers... you did an amazing job putting them together!

we had all these rose petals b/c one of DHs nieces was upset she wasn''t chosen as a flower girl so we called her a flower attendant (she''s 10 and kind of in the awkward stage and really, really hyper, so we picked a younger calmer flower girl) and told her she could give the cones of rose petals to the guests as they left. She left the reception a little early and forgot about it, so we had tons of petals which my crazy brothers and our awesome photographer came up with some fab uses for in our final photos....

 

[Bella_mezzo]

we had so much fun. This was after the reception, the members of the wedding party who could stay, plus my brother''s girlfriend (and now fiance!!!). It was so much fun, and really the perfect ending to the perfect day...

there''s this awesome stream with a waterfall and my brothers suggested be go over there. We are all into it, though it was kind of dangerous b/c the log was just perched on the slippery, muddy, eroded stream bank...
