I couldn''t have asked for a more perfect wedding day than April 30th. The weather in Maryland was in the 70s and sunny, without any humidity, our dearest friends and family were all there, and every time I look at the pics I start grinning all over again. People are still calling me and my parents to rave over everything. Just wanted to share a few of the non-pro pics I''ve borrowed from friends on facebook. Thanks to you ladies for your support and advice during the planning process!

The venue - a bed and breakfast surrounded by farmland.

We had cupcakes instead of cake and I painted these toppers for them.

Blue and Green candy buffet - people DESTROYED it. One of my BMs left at the end of the night with four goody bags full of it.

Tearing up the dance floor later that night...I love that you can see the entire reception room here. This was very late in the night after most people had left, but we were determined to enjoy every second until they kicked us out.

And last one...the lovely and talented Clairitek offered to make me a veil. She hand embroidered and beaded it, it was truly a work of art and such a lovely and sentimental piece to wear. She even added one blue bead to the very top so I had my something blue. Here's a close-up shot of her work, although it was even more gorgeous than it looks here.

Thank you sba! We got so so lucky with the weather...the next day the typical mid-atlantic humidity returned, and since then it has been on and off chilly/rainy.

Its great to relive the day along with you a little with the photos you posted Steph! You looked to amazingly ethereal and lovely on your wedding day. The love between you and your Mr is clearly abudant. Making the veil was special for me and I''m glad it went over so well. I wish you could get married every month so we could have that kind of fun on a regular basis.
