Here are a few non-pro pictures I’ve received from our wedding – I hope to have many more and some pro pics to replace them with soon. First, DH’s brother (and best man) signing our marriage license, with my MOH in the background, then DH and I from the side – it’s a decent shot of my flowers and some dress detail.

Here is one of our rabbis (there were two who performed the ceremony – I’ve known this one since I was about 4 years old) reading our Ketubah, or Jewish marriage contract, while DH and I and the assembled guests look on. Then a bad shot of me being escorted to the Chuppah by my mom (in silver – she looked fantastic!) and my dad. If you look closely you can kind of see some of the hand-painted (by me and mom) cherry blossoms on the Chuppah.

A sort of vague shot under the Chuppah, but it shows some of the Chuppah detail better, and a shot of our GORGEOUS cake.

A couple of shots of me and my ladies dinner group – mostly fellow Brown alums, we get together for a themed potluck once a week – they are a wonderful group of girls and I feel really lucky to be a part of this group. Definitely helped keep me sane during wedding planning

Me with my dear friend Ann-Marie, who sadly moved away to Maryland with her DH a few days later. Also a decent shot of our favors – inside were two See’s candies, one chocolate buttercream and one vanilla.

Me and DH with serious red-eye – I’m laughing because his grandma and my mom were doing a silly little dance to the cake cutting song (“How Sweet it is (to be Loved by You)”), So cute, and so funny – those are definitely some of the best memories are little moments like that. Also a decent shot of the back of my dress and hair, although I’m not sure why I look like such a football player with fat shoulders/back here – hopefully the same effect won’t be there in the pro pics. You can also see the BM bouquets on the cake table.

WOW! What a beautful bride you are -- I love how happy you look in all of these pictures. Am I correct in understanding you made your own ketubah? That''s so cool!

And yummy on the cake!

If these are the non-professional, I can''t wait to see the professional...and NO you don''t look like a football player.

Congrats!
Jackie
 
oh wow! everything looks fab- including you!!
 
Thanks jas and jcrow.

I didn''t actually make the Ketubah, but my mom and I together did make the Chuppah, which is the wedding canopy we are standing under in the ceremony pics.
 
Congratulations! You looked fantastic in that dress and so happy! I adore your cake
 
Congratulations!!! You looked absolutely stunning!
 
Congratulations! You are a gorgeous couple. And your cake is soooooooo pretty. I love it.
 
Thanks so much you guys - I was really worried that I looked fat in some of the pictures, so the nice comments really help!

SDL - I am waiting in happy anticipation to see your pictures after the big event as well

I just LOVE your dress AG.. And you do NOT look fat in any of the pics.. in fact.. the ones of your back.. (that you think looks big.. but it most definitley is NOT!!)....look at your WAIST!!!!.. I''d KILL for a waist like that.. Its a barbie doll waist! :) you have gorgeous curves..you lucky gal.. :) I also adore your bouquet and your cake.... Can''t WAIT to see more pics.. Any of the bridal party?
 
Thanks so much MS - the dress was kind of a pain in the behind (especially before it was bustled), but I love it too

You''re so sweet to say such nice things about my figure - I think to some extent we all always want what we don''t have - I would LOVE to have a tiny figure like you...go figure

I will have tons of pics of the bridal party coming up (my girls looked GORGEOUS), but most of them will be pro pics because we took them before the ceremony. I was told we should have the pro pics back about two weeks after the wedding, so that''s one week from today, but they were early with our engagement pics, so I''m keeping my fingers crossed - I can''t wait to see them!

OMG, I love your dress! I got a similar style--strapless and fitted bodice with a poufy skirt--and now I''m especially excited to wear it! Your cake is amazing!
 
Sooooooooooo pretty! I love your dress!!!
 
Thanks so much you guys - its so great to get such nice feedback from everybody

Peonygirl - I''m looking forward to seeing pics of your dress too!
 
PG - I can''t WAIT to see pics of you in that amazing dress - a Reem would definitely have been my dream dress but way out of the budget. I bet you are just going to look so gorgeous (and TINY - I''m so jealous!!)

And a few more fun pics to share from my stepmom.

First, here''s DH and I with the Cantor who sang and helped conduct the ceremony - he has an unbelievable singing voice and he''s SUCH a sweet and wonderful person - we were so blessed to have him be part of our wedding:

Here''s a better shot of our cake (and some of the bridesmaids and the bride''s bouquet on the cake table), and us having fun cutting the cake:

Here''s the happy groom (you can see a glimpse of his groom''s cake in the background with his fraternity letters), and a sweet kiss picture, which is also a good shot of the back/side of my hair...
