A Little Last Minute Detailing
My sister fixing our flower girl's bow just so.
The two of them fixing my train.
Our other flower girl and her mom, mrp's sister.
My best friend checking out my ring as my sister and mom look on.
What's Going on Upstairs
Dum Dum Da Dum
First, the little ones with their little baskets of lady apples. They were picture perfect and followed instructions just right!
They were followed by my best friend *B* and mrp's friend *C*. Notice the garish purple in the flowers. I suppose that's the downside for scrimping on a good florist. Heh.
My sister ended up taking off too early, but that's ok. Wasn't she gorgeous?!
Mrp waiting for me trying not to cry. Probably wondering why I didn't wait for my processional music. Since my sister took off early I got confused and thought it was weird to stand back there so long so I took off early too. Oops!
Dearly Beloved Part
At first we were both so stoic and stiff sitting up there, not knowing what to do. Then I decided we could relax. I think I'm eyeballing mrp's hand and raring up to grab it and hold on!
We had the crying thing all under control--well, at least until the vows. Mrp went first and was crying his little eyes out! So, by the time it was my turn, I could hardly talk. I just squeaked out my vows under all the sniffles and tears :)
Our priest gave us permission to practice our end-of-the-ceremony kiss after our vows.
Mrp's niece and our flower girl looks on. I wonder what her little 4 year old brain makes of all this!
The Peanut Gallery
Our bridal party made up 20% of that! Here they are looking on--lovingly, of course!
My mom and stepfather also looking: concerned? bored? overjoyed?
My poor little grandma is just praying her little heart out. I've given her knees a workout over the years!
Mrp's brother-in-law and nephew behaving like a dream! I was referring to the little one!
Mid-ceremony Visits
Mr. and Mrs. Mrp and Salty
In the end we went for the passionate closed mouth with slight dip to great effect! I love this picture. It's the real kiss--not posed!
We decided to walk out to the traditional dum dum da dum dum dum dum da da da dum music and I just remember feeling so blissed out holding mrp's hand and trying not to smile too big that I looked psychotic in the pictures. Heh.
Greetings from the Mrps
My grandma again! Isn't she the cutest?!
Mrp being a fine host. I think a lot of people never thought mrp would break down and get married and I think his sister's mother-in-law was one of them ;)
Me and my aunty! The sinceretyof the happiness that most of our guests had for us was probably the second best thing about the day (second to how happy we were!)
One of my bestest friends drove all the way from NYC. I hadn't seen him in two years and I didn't recognize him at first with that hair! Gorgeous!
Cowbells in Action
Or my sister handed them as in the case of my uncle here.
Once all cowbells were in place we made a walk for it...
to the sweet cacophony of cowbells!
Isn't it cute how I am so expressive and mrp is so contained? I never realized how differently we express our feelings until I got our wedding pictures!
A Zany Antic Interlude
I Think We're Alone Now
Here we are at that moment. We love this picture because we had no idea that moment was being captured. We're so glad it was!
And just for kicks, after mrp had me all set in the passenger seat, he's checking out the shoe!
Home Again Home Again Jiggedy Jig
So we arrived back in mrp's '90 Cavalier Z24 and I was greeted by my bud.
Then we went to our front porch to get a little American Gothic.
While we were there a neighbor walked by and introduced herself. Our front yard is really long so we when she first waved we were trying to squint to see if we knew her. Turns out we didn't, but we do now!
