Our wedding October 10, 2009 Non-pro

[Missy0483]

Still waiting for our pros, but we have a few that we''ve gotten from friends and family! It was raining in the morning before the ceremony, then just cloudy. By 2:45, the sun came out and was almost blinding us! haha.

Starting with the ceremony setup...

My dad walking me down the aisle.

Dad and I again, a better closeup

 

[Missy0483]

Here''s Ben''s face as he saw me walking down the aisle. Don''t mind the best man (Ben''s brother) He is NOT picking his nose hahaha

 

[Missy0483]

Dad ready to give me away. You can see our flower decorations on the arbor. Our florist (my cousin) is going to make this into something for our house since she used silk flowers.

 

[Missy0483]

Ben, maybe a little nervous...or cold! It was only about 60 degrees with wind.

 

[Missy0483]

Me, I was definitely nervous! haha

 

[Missy0483]

Ooops out of order!

 

[Missy0483]

Our sand ceremony, we used navy blue and silver sand.

 

[Missy0483]

The kiss!!

 

[Missy0483]

We did it!!

 

[Missy0483]

We had Ben''s sister help us with the balloon release. We found Ben''s favorite team (University of Michigan Wolverines) balloons.

 

[Missy0483]

Being announced at the reception. Ben wore his Michigan jersey!

 

[Missy0483]

First dance to Little Big Town - Bring it on Home. It''s a country song. You can also see a little of the back of my dress with the bustle. I removed the navy sash at the ceremony.

 

[Missy0483]

Our cake! We both agreed it was the best cake we''ve ever tasted!

 

[Missy0483]

Head table before the girls put their bouquets in the vases.

 

[Missy0483]

One of the centerpieces with sunflowers and blue delphiniums(sp?)

 

[Missy0483]

And our ride home for the night...fire truck from the company Ben volunteers for. We knew we had a ride, we both thought it would be a limo because I''ve never had a limo ride. But turns out it was a fire truck ride, which at the time I had never had before! That''s it for now

[Luckyeshe]

Congrats on your wedding! What a beautiful couple you two make!! Can''t wait to see the professional pics!

 

[noelwr]

beautiful! can''t wait to see pro pic close ups of your dress. it is very unique and I

it when multiple materials are used.

I''ve never heard of a sand ceremony, but that is a fantastic idea!

also yay for using blue at your wedding! I did too and I just thought it helps make everything look so elegant.

 

[laughwithme]

Love the blue + sunflowers...and those kids are darn cute! You looked amazing and I''m so glad the weather held out for you. Congrats!!!

 

[Missy0483]

cleokizzy: Cake flavors were bottom layer yellow with bavarian creme, middle layer chocolate with chocolate mousse, and top layer(which they were supposed to cut and serve for everyone, but there was a miscommunication so we brought the whole layer home) was red velvet with cream cheese.

THANK YOU everyone!!!
