finally got our wedding pictures back

[mcctatas]

and since I have insomnia and can't run the vacuum when everyone is sleeping I will subject the denizens of the lounge to them :P

Me, being ever the lady in our hotel before leaving for the ceremony:


Waiting with my brother to walk down the aisle

8. You look gorgeous! Question:

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a sand ceremony?

[mcctatas]

24. it's a unity ceremony for blended families...

My husband and I poured a layer of white sand into a larger container and then each of the spawn poured a different color sand on top, we did it instead of a unity candle because none of the spawn are to be trusted with open flame :P

9. congratulations- so that's what you guys look like!

Looks like a lovely ceremony- I really like the black and white theme. And the sand ceremony sounds very cool- a blending of families? :toast:

17. Photo of you and your brother is adorable

My brother was my dude of honor.

I'm so envious of you finding a dress with sleeves! I had to cover my family-curse lunch-lady arms with a shawl.

Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

[mcctatas]

18. i had the sleeves added!

I was so sick of everything being either strapless or spaghetti straps or long sleeves so I just had them put on a chiffon flutter sleeve (also had it shortened from full length, a "modesty piece" put in the cleavage, and the plunging V in the back raised, thank God the dress was cheap, the alterations were $300 :P )

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. BEAUTIFUL everything!!!! The participants, the ceremonies, the clothing, the theme. but the cake?

VERY cool... but it has me stumped. Are you Yoopers saying "I doopers"?

26. my husband is a snowmobile freak and instead of proposing with

an engagement ring (I got that later), he took me outside and showed me the new 2up sled he bought us (which is apparently a bigger commitment than a ring) :silly:

[bigwillq]

27. Nice pics!

:hi:

[elleng]

28. VERY nice; Congrats!

How long did it take to get the pics back? (Daughter married last weekend, so curious.)

30. for us, about 6 weeks....

Of course my husband's ex-wife was our photographer so I'm not sure that it's the norm for picture turnaround :)
