Here are the wedding pics, as promised! Here is a link to the wedding story, if you would like to read it: (We're officially married!!)http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f541-wttc-graduates/1652383-were-officially-married.html

As I mentioned before, the ceremony was very small, at a bed and breakfast. I stayed at the b&b the night before. I�ll start with prep/ceremony pics at the inn.

My room:

Classic dress pics:

My bouquet (I was hoping the hydrangeas would be a little more blue):

Rings w/ a couple of the boutonnieres:

Some pics around the inn:

Our sand ceremony stuff:

Prep pics:

Putting on the veil:

I know I have a very goofy look on my face, but I love this pic. My MOH was putting on my pearl necklace, but instead wrapping it around and hooking it in back like any normal person would, she went for the awkward choke hold to hook it in the front!

This is me once they started playing prelude music trying not to fall to pieces! I was so emotional and nervous.

Me frantically trying to finish up preparation before everything starts!

MOH to the rescue! My hair was ALREADY falling! I told the hairstylist that was one thing that I did NOT want to worry about. Wow she did a great job, hm? I wasn�t happy with her (the hairstylist, not MOH... MOH was AWESOME and came to my rescue so many times!).

Again, hydrangeas were supposed to be more blue, but oh well:

DH before the ceremony:

Alright, it�s showtime!! This is me, literally a minute before the ceremony started� my photog thought this was hilarious, she said she never had a bride do this before (that�s listerine)�

DH waiting for me with the crazy preacher (see the link at the top for the back story). I love this picture, I think he looks so handsome!

Our room was upstairs. The �isle� went down the stairs, to the landing where the musicians were, around the corner of the stairs (they faced the opposite way of the ceremony room) and through the small sitting room where the cake was into the den where the ceremony was. My MOH coming out:

Here comes the bride! That�s my daddy walking me down.

(I�m a daddy�s girl, I love that man so much!) He was so emotional.

I didn�t realize how I was crowding people with my dress as I came down! Not used to having a dress poof out from my waist I suppose.

Oh well!

Daddy giving me away *tear*:

DH flubbing his vows (again, see link...):

Sand ceremony:

The money shot:

Our exit:

DH, his best man (his uncle), me, and my MOH immediately following the ceremony (this was the entire wedding party):

My men.

My brother, father, DH, and his uncle (the best man):

Signing the marriage license:

Woohoo!

Everyone mingled and picked at the finger foods while me and my MOH headed upstairs to tie up my bustle. I love this pic! That�s my MOH under there, tying up the bustle (or trying to at least). I had a french style bustle:

A few fun pics around the inn after the ceremony:

I was beginning to overheat under all that dress� but ahhhhhh, I found a vent! (I�m standing over it.)

Time to head to the pool hall to take more photos! These were fun! We played a lot of pool as a couple, it�s our thing.

I won! And I�m gloating (notice the eight ball in my hand):

Time to head to the reception cite to take a few photos before everyone gets there! The reception was at an old early 1900s bank, renovated and renamed �The Vault�. It was gorgeous!

There was a courtyard behind the building (which was really cool since it was downtown):

The sun did some really cool things for some of our pics:

The Vault had some really cool architecture:

This is one of my absolute FAVORITE pics� DH�s �ball and chain� in jail and officially married "HELP ME" pic:

This is my �I�m completely exhausted and the reception hasn�t even started yet� look:

Centerpieces� yeah, we had two. My moms, and mine. They were both exactly the same except the flowers in the middle were different and one had the orange wrap around the vase. I say that because I don�t have a full on pic of mine, just close ups! Here�s one, this was my mom�s:

And this was mine (mine had two colors, orange and burgundy� the room had a multitude of very vibrant colors and it fit very well):

Close up of the candles surrounding the centerpieces. That�s blue sand in the votive holder and a couple of different kinds of dried berries dyed blue:

The favors� Godiva truffles. One was at each place setting:

Grooms cake, I loved it!

Everyone as they waited for us to make our grand entrance. There were about 45 at the reception I believe:

Our entrance:

My poor husband getting coerced into taking a shot of tequila with one of my cousins! (My grandfather�s brother�s son� that makes him a cousin, right?)

Random picture that I thought was cool. The room had a lot of interesting decorations, including colorful chandeliers.

Toast time!

Best man toast:

MOH toast:

She was shaking:

My brother�s toast (this is the one that was boohooing at the ceremony and who jumped into the riverwalk in his underwear at 2:00am the night of the wedding):

DH�s toast. It was beautiful and made everyone tear up!

Cheers!

The cutting of the cake:

We cut the cue ball for the grooms cake:

This time he won� that�s the eight ball from the cake, we froze it along with the top layer of the brides cake:

Our exit:

Bye everyone! Off we go in our taxi!

Wow, wow, WOW! Your wedding was amazing! Everything looked sooooo beautiful... from the ceremony site, to the reception site, to the cakes, and all of the decorations! I can't get over how well your pics turned out, the ones of you and DH together look like they could be from a magazine. The two of you make a gorgeous couple!
