FINALLY have some pro pics to post!

[doodle]

Okay, so I know these are really late, but better late than never, right? My DH and I got married on October 11, 2008. It took us forever to get the money together to pay for the copyrights to our pictures, hence our just now being able to post a few pics! Thanks so much to everyone who helped me throughout my planning process for all your kindness, helpfulness, and patience with my loony panicking over everything from program ribbon to chicken cutlets to fill out my dress, haha! Okay, so let''s hope me and this resizing business goes okay--I''m TERRIBLE with that!

Our centerpieces before they were lit...

our cake...

The mantel arrangements. Our florist surprised us with the star thing because she knew how much I''m obsessed with stars, so that was really cool.

 

[doodle]

Bit of bling--my ring is visible, and I''m also holding my husband''s ring and my great-grandmother''s rosary. It was my old/new/borrowed/blue all in one!

 

[doodle]

My fabulous Chinese Laundry platforms that danged near killed me since I''m not used to heels, but GOD I loved the color, and it''s the wedding detail people still rave about the most now, haha!

 

[doodle]

My youngest sister, myself, and my father...

 

[doodle]

It was REALLY windy on our wedding day!

 

[doodle]

Finally got my veil to behave!

 

[doodle]

Funny story--my cousin was carrying my train and didn''t realize that she was holding it up so high that everyone behind me could see my butt. Notice the faces of everyone behind us! Embarrassing yes, but typical of me and my cousin!

 

[doodle]

Yeesh, or don''t look at the faces in the background on that last one--that was kinda blurry! Anywho...this is my DH''s first look at me in all my weddingness.

 

[doodle]

My dad laughing at himself all the way to his seat--when he handed me off to DH, he leaned in and said, "All sales final--no returns!"

 

[doodle]

Dangit, forgot to attach the pic!

 

[doodle]

...

 

[doodle]

My younger sister and MOH burst into tears and could NOT get herself together...our officiant even got after her for it!

 

[doodle]

So yeah, I had a big whopping wasp on my @$$ tangled up in the lace of my dress. Luckily, it didn''t sting me, and it was exactly what my sister needed to make her laugh because she was so hysterical before that. YAY for wasps?

 

[laughwithme]

OK, this post is making me have butterflies, because cobalt blue is my main color and your centerpieces are almost exactly what I have imagined - could you tell me where/how much the cylinder vases are from, and also if the flowers immersed in the water are real or fake?

You look amazing, I dig the shoes, and it all looks incredible!

 

[doodle]

Two of my sisters taking my shoes off for me because they were sinking into the ground so badly. Five inch platforms on grass=problemo!

 

[doodle]

...

 

[doodle]

DH Ric and his son, Sean, who was one of Ric''s groomsmen and a reader during the ceremony.

 

[doodle]

First official family photo.

 

[doodle]

One of my favorites from the whole day, and why I love my photographer for her brilliant instincts! I attached pics of loved ones who had passed away. This pic was taken over my cousin''s shoulder as she was realizing that I had a picture of her mother in my bouquet.

 

[doodle]

Our centerpieces that night when we turned the light bases on.

 

[doodle]

One of the groomsmen after having drank an entire flask of Patron. He had to go back to the venue the next day to retrieve pieces of his tux that the grounds people found in the parking lot, haha!

 

[doodle]

I was trying to get my little sister to dance, and since she always does the robot when she tries dancing, I thought I was being motivational. As my photographer proved, I''m an idiot.

 

[doodle]

Little bit of visible bling there...

 

[doodle]

Okay, last one. Thanks for looking!

Doodle, your pics are just beautiful!!! You both look so blissfully happy! Congratulations!!!

Awwwwwwwwww doddle, you and your hubby look so adorable together and so happy. I LOVE your colors, so beautiful. You made a beautiful bride.

I had to laugh at the wasp on your behind. When my daughter got married their was a big fat bumble bee buzzing around her head and her husbands at the alter. On the video all you can see is the both of them ducking it. We never saw such a big fat bumble bee in our lives. I am so happy that nasty wasp didn''t sting you.

Doodle...your pics are sooooo cute! I''m so happy looking at them and reading your little blurbs about them. It looks like such a fun wedding. Love the wasp and the blue shoes! I''m still thinking of blue shoes myself! Your DH looked so handsome and happy, and you looked absolutely FABO!!!!! Love your dress, your flowers, everything!!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing such fun pictures!
