I''m married - with pics!

[lurkinglurker]

I don''t post that often here, but found everyone''s posts to be so helpful during my wedding planning. We were married on April 4 at a wildflower center in our town, and it was just perfect! The weather worked out so amazingly and while there were definitely a few things here and there that didn''t go exactly according to plan, it didn''t matter at all. It was just such an amazing time to get to be with all of our friends and family on such a happy day! I have my pro pics back and wanted to post some (okay a lot) because I loved looking at all the other pictures here!

This one is our cake and our flower dog substitute, since we couldn''t have the real thing there!

Getting ready...my dress had real buttons all the way down the back. It took a LONG time!

DH with groomsmen!

Getting ready to walk down the aisle - I was so nervous about tripping, I gripped my Dad''s arm the whole way.

 

[lurkinglurker]

...not tripping!

The ceremony. We mistakenly seating our guests facing west during sundown. We thought it would be south and everyone would be okay! It made for some good pictures, and no one seemed too upset.

The rings...I was so proud of myself for getting through the vows without crying too much. The day before at the rehearsal I hadn''t been able to say any of them. I just kept telling myself "you''re a lawyer, you can do THIS."

the kiss!

Married! I''m not sure why I was in such a waving mood that day, but I ended up with a lot of waving pictures.

This was during our post-ceremony pictures, I love the expression on my mom''s face.

Our signature "something blue margaritas" drinks - I thought this was a little too cheesy, but people seemed to like them.

We walked in the bluebonnet fields to get a few pictures...I''m not sure the venue would have approved, but we thought it was worth the risk for a few quick shots!

[lurkinglurker]

bouquet toss! My sister managed to catch it, nope, not rigged at all.

Oh Em Gee

I love it all! Your dress, your veil, those BM dresses, the venue...everything! So beautiful

 

[Lanie]

I love your dress and your hair!!! So pretty!

 

[lurkinglurker]

Okay last one, thank you for looking at all of these! This was at the end of the night, and I think just captures how much *fun* we had all night. Afterwards, we headed to the hotel bar and the real party began with our families and bridal party.

Beautiful pictures! I think it was totally worth it to walk into the bluebell field...what an awesome picture!

 

[Lanie]

I love that last one!

When you went to the hotel bar, did you keep your dress on or did you change? I want to go out to a bar after mine too! I take it you weren''t too tired!

Lovely pictures! Congratulations!

Would you be willing to share the make of the bridesmaid dresses? They are gorgeous!

 

[tropiqalkiwi]

Beautiful!!!!

You look beautiful, your dress is beautiful, the pics are beautiful...and now you are married, congratulations!

I have been looking for a cake stand for a bit now and want to know where you found yours, it''s exactly what I''m looking for! Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for posting all the pics - they are such fun to look at!

 

[lurkinglurker]

Thanks Fiery, TLH, Lanie, and Bens! I have lurked so much on pricescope - I feel like I know everyone here, but no one knows me. I''m going to start posting more I think!

Lanie, I changed into a shorter white dress that I had worn to the rehearsal the day before. I definitely wasn''t tired. We just wanted to keep enjoying everyone!

Thanks Lioness and Topig! The bridesmaid dresses were Priscilla of Boston vineyard, style 1408 in marine (looks very different on their site) http://www.priscillaofboston.com/dress_detail.jsp?gid=603&sfid=50713&f=

The cake stand came from our party rental place. I didn''t pick it out - I wasn''t super great about planning and basically just told our caterer and wedding planner to use "pretty things people would like." I know, I''m a bad bride.
