Here''s one of the lariat.

Here's one that shows the reception tables a bit more. It was a nice simple look...candle votives, flower petals, and the vases of hydrangea. We hired a guitarist who played soft jazz guitar in the background.

ETA: The servers had just brought out baskets of bread, just before serving the first course.

What a gorgeous dress! I think you''ve posted a picture of it here before, and I loved it then as well. The flowers are gorgeous -- I can see why you took so many photos of them. Best wishes!

Hey melpha,

Beautiful wedding and beautiful bride. You seem so relaxed and happy in the pictures, just like a bride should be.

Thanks, Canadian Bling! I''m glad I appear calm. We were both pretty nervous before the ceremony and both felt like we had cotton in our mouths as the ceremony started. I wondered whether my voice would come out when it was my turn to talk. But once the ceremony got started, I was okay. I did sort of cry once toward the end, which got my nose running a bit. Luckily I had a handkerchief that my mom kept in her hand until I needed it (she was standing beside me. I was a bit embarrassed, but MIL said that she was glad I choked up (I guess some people don''t think it''s a wedding until someone cries).
