I'm married, and I'm back!

Sunday, September 02, 2012

Woo hoo!

I've been a married woman officially for a week now. The wedding was beautiful. It was perfect. I don't have many photos yet, just one set from a friend plus some fuzzy ones saved from Facebook, but here's the day, summed up in photos:













SO HAPPY!





There were lawn games and nibblies on the heritage mansion's back lawn between ceremony and reception... yes, after pictures, I played bocce in my dress!


Here's the cake that my maid of honour and I baked, assembled, and decorated! (I did the baking, we did the assembly together, and she did the decorating. It was DELICIOUS: dark chocolate and cappuccino layers with chocolate ganache and latte buttercream frostings. Holy yum.)














Starter course (the food was divine, throughout! I hope I get more food photos!)










My adorable parents:


Lots of dancing:




Yes, a conga line broke out:


The bouquet toss!


What a perfect day!

  When I first looked at your Dad he bore a resemblance to Bill Clinton to me. And I see someone else thought the same.

Congrats on your wedding. Lots of beautiful pics.

    You were STUNNING!!! Your dad looked so sad to let you go. . . that is until the DJ kicked on the music! I love the pic of you and yourr bridesmaids leaning on each other. You just got me so excited for my own wedding. I hope I look half as good as you did!

    The first thing I said to myself when I saw these photos is "WOW her dad looks like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter combined!" and the next thing I thought was "She looks GORGEOUS!"

Congrats!

    WOW! What a good looking couple. May your marraige be filled with the same happiness always. Your poor Daddy looks like he is ready to cry from his beautiful daughter and giving her away to someone else to make her happy. Your parents both look special.
