Wedding Sparkly''s Winter Wedding

[sparkly_stars]

This was when we first saw each other (we were taking our pics during the day- so we set it up to meet and capture the moment.)
I''m not really a "cryer" but when I saw him...oh my, pretty sure he had to wipe away tears- he said it took everything in him not to cry.

Me and my grandfather

this was more of a joke- I had asked my bridesmaid to keep ALL bottles clear from me (so that I didn''t take a bottle and run off) more as a joke, but we had champagne while getting ready and drank 1 or 2 glasses during the whole day- so it was appropriate

the beach was just for the two of us..

[sparkly_stars]

trekking through snow..haha

 

[WishfulThinking]

I love all of your pictures! They came out so well. Were you freezing in your dress? I would have been! Your dog is also

. So sweet. We have a lot of kissing pictures from our wedding too- they got a lot of

from our family and friends [in a joking way!] but we love them. You were happy, and wedding days are a great time to kiss!

 

[sparkly_stars]

hahaha i figured if theres a day where i''m entitled to kiss my husband, this should be it right? lol (in public anyways!)
i won''t lie..it was FREEZING out, but I swear, once you''re out for a certain amount of time you kind of just go numb!
I noticed the "looking off in the future" picture didn''t attach, let''s try again!

The photographer was great, we had a blast! We kept bouncing ideas off each other, and she was a real good time!

The flowers The broach thing was my something borrowed from a friend where we live that couldn''t fly home, but I wanted part of her there (This was her bustle pin on her dress)

Our red velvet cake

This picture is incredibly funny- I don''t really do "poses" well, but I was standing on a bench and we wanted undisturbed snow..so I jumped and was trying not to fall and turned really fast- she must be good to make it look so...nice! haha

 

[sparkly_stars]

My two favorites!

 

[sparkly_stars]

the bench that I spoke about a second ago! haha

 

[sparkly_stars]

We were laughing because we were trying to figure out how to "dip" (I''m sure the first attempts are quite...priceless haha)

 

[sparkly_stars]

This is one of the groomsmen, one of our good friend- I won''t even try to explain why he''s touching my tongue..great capture though! haha

 

[redfaerythinker]

Your pics are so beautiful! So jealous of all that beautiful snow!

 

[sparkly_stars]

last one for now! I am actually going to frame each shot (without writing) and put it in our bathroom back home (in our bedroom)
The writing is a caption our photog. wrote to reflect what we were saying ahaha

 

[sparkly_stars]

Thank you everyone!
I swear that as beautiful as the snow might be- it creates SO much anxiety leading up to the wedding. I was probably the most easy going bride to be with ALL the planning, but anxiety of guests, and minister showing up, then flights getting canceled and delayed (ours!) the desire for a WHITE wedding when there is ZERO snow and +10 weather a WEEK before your big day..haha
a lot of stress!
I think when we got ON the plane (and didn''t MISS our flight like we almost did) I finally set whatever happens happens- if we get delayed and have to push the wedding a day, or if theres no snow...NONE of that is in our hands.
I swear releasing control was the best thing (things I never even HAD control over)

Worth it? Sure, now that its over and I get a beautiful product...but I probably would have been disappointed had there not been snow! (I would have taken out ice bags and made my own "snow" I suppose..haha)
