Some Wedding Pictures

It's wedding picture time!!!!

My family and friends all worked to decorate for us.  This is the bride and groom  table at the reception hall.

This is when I first stepped through those doors into the sanctuary, and the emotion of the moment hit me.  I didn't know whether I would make it down the aisle without crying.  There is something incredibly powerful about that moment when the double doors open and you take the first step onto the aisle.

My flower girl did such a good job sprinkling the petals so perfectly for me to walk on.

My sisters made the bridesmaid dresses.  I loved them.  They were long and flowing and modest and absolutely gorgeous. 

I love it that we're all smiling here.

The grand recessional of King Garrett and Queen Esther.

Yep.  Just like that, and I'm a married woman.  Kinda hard to believe.  After months of preparation, the entire  morning passed like a blink of an eye.  It's not fair how fast that went.  At the end of the day, I felt like everything happened so fast that I didn't have time to even see the day.  It was one of those "blink...blink...what just happened?!?!?!" moments.  I was glad somebody took pictures.  And I was also glad for  some quiet time afterward to slow it down and relive it.

I really am not posing here.  I'm just glancing over my shoulder as I head down the steps to get my picture taken.  Maybe the cape makes me look serious or something...

Cutting the cake.  Neither of us knew what we were doing, but he pulled it off with the skill of a surgeon.

I know you can't see all the designs on my dress, but there are roses and leaves and fleur-de-les and horses and owls and flowers.  There are three strands of beads that start front and center on my skirt and swoop down to the hem in the back.  For those of you  who remember my previous post wherein I was making a "surprise" applique: it was an owl because Garrett loves owls.  I don't have a picture of it here at my new house, but I will post it when I retrieve it from my old computer.

So many amazing friends were there and so many amazing friends couldn't come.  I am very blessed by all my friends.

     I hope you all are having a wonderful day!  As things slow down a little, I hope to be on here more often soon.  Happy writing, everyone!
