We planned. We prepped. We married!

Hello long neglected blog - I've been gone too long.  So much so, that Wedding Wednesdays are extinct - why?  Because we got married!  Yes!  We did it!  And, if I do say so myself, it was wonderful.  We haven't gotten the professional photos back yet (though I'm dying to see them) but we have gotten a few from various family and friends, so here are a couple to share.

My mom walking me down the aisle and giving me away. Contrary to how this looks, there was a actually a full house (probably at least 110 people). We had the first few rows reserved for family members, but somehow (probably because we didn't have ushers) some of the family never got the memo, so they were all sitting in the back. Woops.

A shot of our first dance - we had it semi-choreographed, only because had we been left to our own devices we would've looked like we had two left feet (which we do). Thank you Linden Street Dance for the lesson!

Here's another from the first dance. This one features my dress in all it's glory. Though I guess you don't see the train since this is post-bustle, it was quite pretty too.

Remember the beginnings of the cake topper in the post below?  Here's how it turned out!  I was pretty pleased.  I mean, yes, it was kitschy, but most cake toppers are, so that was okay with me.  And I think it was personal to us and our day, so that's what counts :)

And here's the cake cutting!  We just got our cake from the caterer, but they did a wonderful job - people loved it.  Each layer and the grooms cake were all different flavors, so there were 4 varieties too.  We were definitely pleasantly surprised with how it turned out.

I'll have to do a further recap of some of the more stylistic details of the day, as well as a general reflection later on, but for now I'll say that C and I had an amazing day and we loved that all of our family and friends were able to be there.  And most importantly, we were thrilled to finally be married!  I couldn't ask for a better partner and I am so excited to start this new chapter in our lives together.
