Our professional pictures have been back for awhile. Finally I uploaded some to share. These behind the cut are high resolution and I didn't take the time to resize them. Sorry if you have dial up.
From my MOH, my new initials

Blackberry brandy. DH gave it to him on his wedding day and he didn't forget.
These are before the ceremony... we couldn't see each other. But we touched and said I love you. That's all. And I cried... a lot!
I couldn't stop crying
MOG walked down half way to meet DH and BM (brother). The rose symbolizes his father who passed 11 years ago.
This tree is planted for his dad so they put the rose on the tree. Not many dry eyes there.
Moms pouring the wine
Our string trio
Trying to compose myself
Breathe in
Breathe out
The kiss!
Mr & Mrs!!!
Whew!
4 of my 5 girls watching us take pics... in the rain that came after the ceremony.

Surprise first dance
Kung-fu fighting
Droppin' it like it's hot
And the best... FIREWORKS!
The bad:
It rained off and on all day. The most stressful thing b/c I couldn't control it!
My mom hurt my head getting my veil into my bun which then my dad kissed my cheek to give me away and caused it to fall out of my bun with ease.
DH's SIL was a horrible, mean, awful person all the way up until (and still) the wedding.
Everyone got really drunk and cleared out as soon as the DJ stopped.
The chocolate fountain was dropped off without a power cord which went unnoticed until it was too late.
A few chair sashes and napkins which were rented came up missing.
Everything flew by. Such a blur.
The good:
I married the love of my life!
The sun shone so bright for our 30 minute ceremony.
The string trio sounded lovely.
The fireworks!!!
There was a rainbow after the shower after the ceremony.
Everyone had a really good time.
I talked my way out of paying for the missing rental items.
My old HS friends made it to the wedding. I hadn't seen the one in 3 years!
Did I mention I married the love of my life?! :-p :-)
