Hitched - A few more wedding pictures

Visiting my family back up in Kaleden this week I was able to track down a few more photos of the wedding. Here's the best:

My Lovely Ladies

So glad my Grandma could make it (and meet her new great grandsons too!) 

Just because my nephew is just so darn cute!

Hitched - A wedding story

We did it! May 20th, 2012 I married my best friend!

Here is a short re-cap, I dont have many pictures yet, but I will add more later!

May 20th

Morning

My best friend and I went into town to get my hair done, it was nice to have some time just us and just calm before the rest of the day began, then we met with the girls at the place I was staying (A guest house owned by friends of the family) to get ready together.

Then it was off to take our first round of pictures with the girls and with my family. I loved getting to take pictures at my Parents (which was my Grandparents) house on the lake!

My Flower girl and Nephew were doing a great job of dispaying thier personalities on camera..

Meanwhile Paul and the guys were having a photoshoot of their own.

And the Main Event, the Ceremony! It went perfectly (execpt for some of the music taking too long..but it all worked out!)

Then we went out a took pictures with our photographers (which I will post when recieved) and then up to Linden Gardens for the reception!

The Reception went well it was so much fun to see soo many family and friends all in one place! The food was amazing, the cake my `honorary sister/friend of the family' made was amazing and tasted fantastic, the decor turned out great, and we had pinatas and music for entertainment. Our interactive guest book was a blast to read through after (Maybe I`ll post some pages from that some other time).

Girls in White Dresses...

I have never considered myself to be much of a girly girl (or materialistic), although I have taken to wearing dresses and heels more in the last few years. Wedding planning is bringing out the girly girl in me and I must confess my new addiction...WHITE DRESSES! I have gone from never owning a white dress (since I was a flower girl when I was 4), to owning 6 white or ivory dresses in the last 2 months!! That is NOT including the wedding dress! It is so easy to justify needing white dresses when theres partys and showers and a tropical honeymoon coming up!

Here is a preview:

Another week another wedding!

After a particularily long week, its nice to be able to relax a bit this weekend...Anyways the church hosted a wedding for a couple in our church who don't have a whole lot of thier own resources, Paul and I volunteered to take some pictures as well as helping do some of the clean up after. Most of the good pictures are on Pauls camera, but here a few to give an idea of the feel of the wedding. So proud of them to take this step of commitment and so proud of the church to do what they could to help see this through!

A wedding and a Birthday Party

What a busy weekend! Yesterday Kyle and Katie got married (Paul's Best Man and long time friend - odd that both of them are marrying Katies'). They were married by Kyles dad, which was sweet, but the best part was definatly the reception. It was full on canucks theme. Paul's speech was amazing I was so proud of him. Here's some pictures from the reception:

And today we celebrated D's First Birthday! He had such a busy day, he was pretty tired!!! But He enjoyed his presents and cake, but most of all he enjoyed having soooo many people around and being the center of attention!

 After being told that he can't touch the fire because its hot. It's rough being one.
