Reception Pictures

I can't put these in order, because I don't know the order, but enjoy nonetheless!

Us & Kristen, our new neighbor & wedding lifesaver

High School Buddies & my husband!

This is the end of the pictures from the wedding for now, until the professional pictures come back. Next in line, honeymoon pictures. Hopefully within the next week, but I make no promises!!

Pictures #2

Continuing....

The kiss (before the dip!)

Going down was much harder than getting up

The beautiful cake that we forgot to eat that night

Our delicious cake I'd known for 8 months would be all over my face

The First of the Wedding Pictures

I have managed to get some pictures off facebook (and some through email, thanks Jen!!) and thought I'd put my favorites together in one place. I am even going to try to put them in some logical order even though my computer doesn't have them sorted that way.

The night before--a Pacific tradition: painting the spirit bench

The bride and groom

Our tables--before the centerpieces had flowers!

My sister, Hannah, and Jonathan

My sister, Emily, and David

Those most happy it is May 30th!!

Our unity sand
not a unity candle because having someone (or wind) blow out our unity candle depressed me

Wedding

Our wedding was absolutely wonderful. Better than we could have ever imagined or worked for. I'm so glad we didn't stress too much over the planning throughout our engagement, because things turned out so well without the stress! I don't have a single picture on my camera from the wedding day, and there's some all over facebook that I just haven't managed to steal many yet, but here's what I got so far...

My sisters came to Oregon a week before the wedding to have fun and also help with the wedding. One of our jobs was to make M&M bags for favors, chosen since we didn't have to personalize them: M&M is who we are!

Emily is a perfectionist and struggled making a bow she was happy with.












Sisters with our wonderful creations










I rode in the backseat of my mom's car after picking up round 2 of our flowers from Costco. This is what I saw










I'll make another post (or more) when I get around to stealing pictures from facebook & myspace, and again when we get our 1000+ pictures back from our photographer. Also, I want to post about our honeymoon (which was absolutely wonderful) but I hate to post without pictures and I have yet to gone through the 700 pictures we took on our week vacation, so that's coming too! You'll just have to wait and see ;)
