Finally! Anchor''s wedding picture post (non-pro)

[WishfulThinking]

Anchor, everything is beautiful!! Your dress could not possibly have been more perfect for you, and your hubby''s tux matches perfectly. What a good-looking pair you are!

I love your captions, sweetie: "don''t I just look adorable?" YES! I am so happy that you felt that way and still do looking back. As soon as I read that I started to tear up and wished that every bride could look back on her wedding day and feel adorable. I absolutely can''t wait to see more of your beautiful pictures.

[Delster]

Anchor everything looked gorgeous and your happiness and all the fun you had just radiates out of the photos!!! I''m so happy for you both!

BTW has anyone ever told you you look a wee bit like Natalie Portman?

Yayayay, more pics.

I love the scandalous garter shot. I have never seen it done that way. Hubba Hubba.

Our pro pics are ready (YAY) and we''re picking them up tomorrow, so I should have more pics up in no time!

Haha, yeah, the infamous garter toss. They''ve done it that way at every Qc wedding I''ve been to. The idea of doing it that way didn''t appeal to me much, but our guests asked for it and got a kick out of it, not why not.

Anchor your wedding looks like it was a bunch of fun!!! I LOVED the photo of the socks with toe holes - absolutely priceless!!

You looked amazing and your dress was absolutely perfect!

Beautiful Anchor! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time. And I love the reception venue and the country-ness of it!

Thank you! When I saw it, I knew it was perfect for our wedding. I was raised on the hills just a couple of miles north of that place and it meant a lot to me!

How fun! I didn''t know about the Quebec tradition of dancing socks thing. But then I have been to only 1 quebec wedding. You look amazing! I can''t wait for those pro-pics

Thanks ally!

If M has older unmarried siblings, it will undoubtedly happen at your wedding too. I also wanted to warn you... If you think the standing-on-a-chair-and-groom-gets-garter-with-his-teeth thing for the garter toss is going to be too scandalous for your family, you probably should tell your MC, because M''s family will most likely ask for it!

We have a tradition in Qc (I don’t know if they do it elsewhere) to make elder unmarried siblings of the bride and groom dance on their socks and both our older brothers are unmarried. My grandma knitted silly socks with big toe holes for the occasion!

Anchor I LOVE YOUR WEDDING!!!! It looks like such a blast. You look gorgeous AND adorable, all rolled up into one and this sock pic is just killing me. KILLING MEEEE!

I''m in love with your grandma.

Thank you Indy! I loved my wedding too! The sock pic is really good, I have to agree. Our brothers were just having so much fun. I''m in love with my grandma too. Wasn''t her yellow dress just PERFECT?! And the socks she knitted... priceless.

Thank you! You are so incredibly sweet. I loved my dress so much, when I first tried it on I knew it was perfect for me and the wedding I wanted! DH knew even before proposing that he wanted to wear white, and I must say I''m so happy he did. He definitely is the most handsome groom I have ever seen (I''m sure every bride thinks that too though!

).

I felt wonderful on that day, and I have to tell you I feel wonderful being married too! I wish too that every bride can look back on her wedding day and not only feel adorable, but feel like her day was more than she had ever hoped for.

Best wishes to you, WT! If I could hug you I would.

Thank you! It was really important for us to personalize our wedding as much as we could, and I think we did a good job. The reception hall manager said he''d never seen a dress like mine.
