[CrownJewel]

DH''s nephew and brother in law.

 

[CrownJewel]

last one. my own nephew was being VERY shy. he would not let me hold him for more than like 5 seconds.

 

[CrownJewel]

during the cocktail hour, we had a great jazz trio.

I would like a noodle too. Need to work on treading water! I think I had some leftover bronchitis last week, so I choked when I came up for air and I freaked out and sank. I was able to get over to the lane divider by myself, but it gave me a scare. and then it happened again later on!

Yikes! Hope you''ve gotten over the bronchitis and are not traumatised by the incidents.

 

[diamondfan]

You sort of look like Lucy Liu!!! That is who it is, it was bugging me all day.

 

[CrownJewel]

ok. i really swear this is the last one. thanks for indulging me.

I was traumatized. Still am...but I have to get back in the pool. I hope I''m over the bronchitis too - I thought I was over it last weekend but apparently not.

How are you feeling about your swimming? More comfortable? Sounds like you are.

 

[Harriet]

I am more comfortable, but I'd stay away from the deepend unless the lifeguard or my trainer are around. I still need to build up my cardiovascular strength though. Do come over!

Haha thank you DF!! I personally don''t think I look like Lucy Liu - she has gorgeous cheekbones and cute dimples. But I have gotten that comment before. It''s actually a little scary because sometimes people STARE at me, and that makes me self conscious. It makes me think, crap is my hair doing something funny? is there ink on my face? food in my teeth? But then they say, "you look like lucy liu."

So the day I actually have ink on my face and food in my teeth, I will just assume I''m being stared at because I look like someone else.

[CrownJewel]

thanks Sabine and SuLi! I''m so glad you ladies posted your pro pics too. Cheers to us married ladies! Congrats to you both. Your wedding photos were beautiful. I hope you both had fun.

thanks lliang! i haven''t had a chance to comment in your thread, but i love your flower ideas. i''m obsessed with feathers and wanted to somehow work peacock feathers in, but that never worked out.

 

[diamondfan]

Well, CJ, if I see and so do others, I must be right!!!

CJ, like I said before, I absolutely

the confetti picture! It''s so creative and different and makes me smile just looking at it. Your photographer was amazing! Honestly, all your pictures are stunning

Please keep ''em coming.

thanks again poca. oh, we had lots of goofy confetti photos. the one in the grass the favorite.

 

[CrownJewel]

blondebunny thank you eh. that photo''s ok.

just kidding. there''s another one that i love just as much as the confetti photo...but it''s missing right now. and it''s blurry. and it''s totally self-indulgent because it''s a photo of just me. ok kidding again. i cannot pick favorites. i love all the photos

THESE PICTURES ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

I love them! They look like they are right out of a magazine. My fav is the one the closeup of you with the bridal party behind and you are laughing, followed by the confetti shot. Your photographers are great (although their subjects were pretty darn gorgeous!).

Congratulations!

ETA- Oh yeah and post more!!!

ha! mia. my photos bow down to your wedding photos. talk about

!! your dress, your hair, your city hall - everything was breathtaking. when i saw the shot of you guys walking out of city hall, and your dress is blowing in the breeze, i was like "oooh that''s just GORGEOUS." you were a really really TRULY beautiful bride. so i am honored to receive your compliments

OMG, I love the confetti shot!! You were brave to lay in the grass.

The photos captured your beautiful day and you looked radiant. Congratulations!!

miracles - you rock! so kind of you to comment

. you know, i love my dress...it was so comfortable i felt like i was frolicking around in a plain old sundress. there weren''t many grass stains, but there were several snags and rips. oops. i blame it on the 4" heels. and it did get dirty around the hem because people (mostly DH) stepped on my dress so many times.

It''s 3-7 feet deep. There''s always the lifeguard. He jumped in instinctively during my first lesson in the deep end, even though he didn''t really have to.

 

[CrownJewel]

are we still doing the nyc get-together? any clue?

 

[Harriet]

I don''t know! We could bump up the thread.

 

[Skippy123]

You are gorgeous CrownJewel and equally a sweetheart!!!! What a beautiful couple!
Looks like an awesome day; many congrats!!

I am great, thank you sweetie! I love that flower in your hair; it looks so romantic and you 2 gorgeous people look so in love! I've missed you too, hopefully, I see you on the healthy thread. hehe You are tiny!!! Your sister is beautiful and your nephew is so adorable!!! How old is he? Don't you love being an aunt!?!?!

 

[AllieLuv83]

I love all of your pictures especially the grass shot! I am Russian too what a treat to have children that speak Russian at your wedding

 

[katamari]

Wow! What wonderful photos. I love how your photographer captured such small, meaningful moments so artistically. And, like everyone else, I would die for the confetti shot. Amazing!
