Haha, thanks StephensBride! They were totally ruined after the wedding - trashed. One of the caps on the heel was completely twisted around, they were grass stained, and I must have walked around barefoot and then slipped them back on, because there are black spots were my toes had been. I still have them though, sitting on top of some other wedding mementos in my cedar trunk, and they still make me smile.

Awww, thanks everyone for your sweet comments! Seeing all the photos again after 2 years is crazy - we got a bunch of proofs (I think 200-300?) so there are quite a few images that I''m familiar with, but when I see one that I don''t "remember" (because it''s not in our big album), it''s almost like getting to experience the wedding again. I love it.
If anyone has some media skills, I''d love some suggestions - I''m a mac user and I''d like to to take all the photos and make a slideshow to sync up with the audio recording of the ceremony (which I have in iTunes) and then burn a DVD. I''ve never messed with any of the other software on the mac, so I don''t know if this is really simple or not. Please let me know if you''ve done something similar! There''s 650 images, so I''m also a little worried about making files that are too huge to be burned to a DVD or something.
Freke - Why did I know you''d love the shoe photo?!?
SarahLovesJS- Thanks!! We really were. I think our wedding day was like our marriage so far - there were definitely things that didn''t work or that we were stressed about, but we still found ourselves grinning and laughing through it all, because we felt so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by that much love.
Bee* - Thanks!!
Porridge - Aww, good! Steal away! Whenever I look at the photos here, I can''t believe how creative PSer brides are, and in regard to decorations, etc, DH and I really didn''t do all that much, but I''m glad some of my photos might help you get ideas.
Loriken- Thanks!! Two years went by REALLY fast!
iLove - OMG I am SO jealous of all the shorter dress options there seem to be now. I went shopping with one of my friends and there were 4 or 5 in the salon. There was NOTHING when I got married - there was one at DB that didn''t come in plus sizes and another Alfred Angelo that no one carried, so my dress was a full-length that we altered the heck out of. Go for it! I''m sure you can pull it off. I loved having a short dress. I''d done the ball gown thing with sorority formals, and the tea-length was just easy to wear, cool, and fun
Alli - Thanks!!! I''ve wanted a tea-length dress ever since seeing Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire when I was little.
Princess- thanks!!
Fiery - thank you!!
Katy- Aww, thanks!!
Rhbgirl - Thank you! We were really happy. It was a great day.
RLG - Thank you!!I swear, it feels like our first, haha.
Lauren - I''m glad everyone seems to like the shoe pic! When I first saw it, I was like "OMG!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!" and then I immediately realized that was probably not normal and that maybe I''m supposed to like the ones where, I dunno, I''m with my husband?!? Haha. Thanks for the anny wishes.
Lanie - Thanks! The cake was made by a local french pastry chef and then I sketched up the design, which they executed perfectly. I wanted my flowers to feel like they''d just been plucked out of the garden, and the cake to have a simple, easy feeling to it as well. It tasted amazing-- chocolate with strawberry filling on the bottom, white chocolate with raspberry filling (DH''s choice) in the middle, and then "my" layer was hazelnut cake with milk chocolate filling.
Monarch - Thanks!! The world of wedding trends moves so fast and I''m really glad no one seems to mind that this was 2 years ago.

SO beautiful! I wanted to comment last night but I didn''t want to interrupt you while you were posting pictures!
I love the picture that you captioned "Married!" You two look so happy, it''s perfect. Everything was beautiful--the day, the colors, your shoes, and especially YOU. I''m so happy you shared your pictures, El!

I love it all!! You look so beautiful!
p.s. Signing the shoes is actually a Greek tradition too... I am supposed to have all of my oldest single cousins sign the shoe (or I sign their name for them) and after the ceremony one of the names will be gone. Apparently, that will be the next person who is married!

Tuckins - Thanks!!
Diamondseeker - Thank you! I originally wanted Tiffany blue and then it felt too green. My SA at the bridal salon was an godsend in being very patient with me and also having a great eye for the color I described and then having the fabrics custom paired for the BM dresses with the result I liked
Haven - That series is my favorite too - I love how the light was shining as we walked back down the aisle. Thank you for the lovely compliments!!
Sourstars - Thanks!! Aw, neat that it''s a Greek tradition! I told my ''maids the part about the names rubbing off, so it was very cute to see who signed near the toes and who signed on the arch where there was no chance of the name disappearing (my married friends also signed the arch/heel). I just checked and it was a 2-way tie between a friend who is getting married this summer and a friend who is getting married next winter - so I think you can tell your cousins that it works!!!
Skippy - Aw thanks!!
Swimmer - Haha, thank you!!
