The Wedding of Mr and Mrs PunchNPie75!

[glaucomflecken]

Hey everyone!!!
Well I just got back from dropping off my **husband**

off at the airport so he could return home to washington dc so I have some time to share some non pro wedding pics! i am soo sad that he had to go back but i have a job interview next week in virginia so hopefully i will have a job soon and can move out there to finally be with him again!

the day was so beautiful! not a cloud in the sky! we had fun. there were a few mishaps along the way, and for some reason i cant stop feeling sad about them, but i think its because im in that weird post wedding withdrawal stage. everyone forgot to stand up as i walked down the aisle!i think people were so stunned and mesmerized by the awesome bagpipes that they didnt know what to do! the best man and MOH were so nervous after their speeches that they forgot to raise the toast! there were a few people who rsvp and didnt show and i was hurt but tried to have fun anyway! and my cake ribbon was the wrong color.

And how ironic is this for an optometrist bride, my fiance had a huge stye on his eye that morning! its all i could stare at when i was saying my vows!!! but everyone said our wedding was so much fun, and i was grateful for everyone there. i am so happy to be married to my best friend.

Sweet PNP,
I cannot wait to see your lovely pictures. I"m sure it was sad to drop off your dear husband. I hope that you two are able to start your lives together soon.

Good shot of the kilt and our bubbles! The sky was SOO blue that day!

 

[glaucomflecken]

Our first dance, to "Close to You" by the Carpenters. I grabbed a mike and shared the story of why we picked that song and the crowd cracked up.

 

[glaucomflecken]

Our cake table. The cake was great except for the ribbon being the wrong color

it should have been more the green color like the bows on my cake servers. oh well.

 

[glaucomflecken]

OUR CAKE TOPPER! I loved it soo much! LOL

Feeling a bit silly...

PunchNpie-

Your pictures are truly beautiful! Where were you married? I certainly felt a Scottish air, but am assuming the wedding was not in Scotland! If you are interviewing in Virginia, it has to be close to where a lot of us live (in the DC metro area)! I remember you posting in other areas of Pricescope about moving to the District. (Yeah...you have to get used to calling Washington, D.C., "the District" or you look as if you''re trying to be different!) Is your interview in Fairfax County?

Hey Deb! We were married in Ohio, about as far removed from Scotland as you can get I guess! LOL I will be interviewing for a job in Fairfax and Leesburg next week. I cant believe how many PSers are in that area!!!

 

[AndyRosse]

WOW!! You of course looked gorgeous!!!

Your dress, flowers, BM dresses, cake, everything was stunning!! And I soooo love your veil!!

 

[flopkins]

pnp- CONGRATS!!!! what great pix. I esp like your cake topper...

You look so happy!!!

I didn''t notice the stye in any of the pics, so must not have been too bad... but I understand how you get caught up in the details sometimes. I often do that too, and it''s so hard to remember that overall things went great... but I''m sure no one else noticed anything wrong and just enjoyed themselves...

Well...Fairfax is in Fairfax County! I think Leesburg is in Loudoun County. (It''s in Loudoun County unless these Virginians are playing a trick on me. Sometimes they do that. They take a town like Arlington and decide that it isn''t part of a huge county next to it, but is a county all by itself. I am not yet perfectly acclimated. I have been here for just over a year.)

I have not yet met any Pricescopers, but it isn''t because they are not a party crowd here. They definitely are. They just keep scheduling their do''s while my parents need operations and one of us has to go see an orthodontist in Connecticut!

Is your husband already living here? Where will the two of you live?

[snuga]

Wow, Your pictures are beautiful. Congratulations, you looked stunning!!!

 

[ello]

Congratulations! You looked beautiful - perfect in every way. Your dress was beautiful - and your hubby is very handsome!

 

[glaucomflecken]

Thank you everyone! I wonder if I will ever be able to look at the pics without getting teary eyed!

I got my veil from ebay seller designersdiscounts. It was so inexpensive and she worked with me to find the perfect veil, and i loved it so much! I didnt want to take it off to go to sleep!

Deb, my husband has been there since May. He got a job out there and I stayed back to finish wedding plans and job hunt. Im not sure where we will be living permanently yet. Kind of waiting to see where i get a job. DC/NoVA seems so intimidating for some reason, and i was born in bred in the big city of Chicago! lol Its peaceful in Ohio but I think I am ready for the big city again. i didnt want to move before, but now that we are married this new deeper bon d we have just makes me want to go anywhere, as long as i can be with him!

 

[HOUMedGal]

Ahh, sooo cute!!! You looked beautiful, and I love that pic where you are all acting silly!! Too much fun!!!

Congrats, MRS.!!!!!

PNP, everything looks so beautiful. Don''t sweat the small stuff....no biggie. Heck, even now when I look at my wedding pics I discover new little things that I wish I could have changed...oh well, that''s life. It makes for good story telling.

Shocking to think people RSVP and then don''t come though. That happened to us too...people even say to anticipate about 10% of people who RSVP yes don''t come in the end.

I love the pic of you both outside the church with blue skies and bubbles.

Congratulations!! Good luck with the interviews.

PunchnPie,

Great pictures! Your wedding looked so beautiful. I love the fact that you used a bagpiper. Did he play the traditional "here comes the bride?"

Since you mentioned it...what''s the story behind that Carpenter''s song?

You look stunning and so happy!

Congratulations and don''t forget to post more pictures!

Jelly,
Our piper played a song called "The Highland Cathedral", a traditional Scottish wedding processional. I think thats why people forgot to stand..they didnt hear the cue of the "dum dum da-dum" of here comes the bride!

my new hubby and i are so different when it comes to music tastes. he is a huge fan of dance and progressive house music, and I love 70s love songs. one night when we first started dating, he came over to take me out on a date. he asked me to put on some nice music while he freshened up. the only CD i Had in the house was The Carpenters Greatest Hits. I played "close to you" and feared he would think i was weird! he came into the room with this weird look on his face and said "what the heck is this?" then he sat down and started singing it perfectly! word for word! i was like, "wait a minute here...YOU, know the words to THIS song?" and he was like, yeah, i heard it all the time growing up!" so we sang along together and i felt at that moment that he truly accepted me and my little quirks and that we could alway find a way to compromise in a situation where we may totally differ. he cracked up when the song started at the wedding and you could hear everyone singing along, so i guess being a carpenter fan is widespread after all!!! LOL
