Oh yes, I got married. Pictures.
Been stealing more pictures from Charis's facebook page.
Mother's House and Pre-Wedding:
The rats.
The garden.
The corner of 17th St. and 17th Ave. It's amusing.
Hanging out.
Matt, all EMT'ed up.
Charis and I picked some Rhubarb to eat.
Tapioca, drinking from the dog bowl.
Marmalade. Being a small dog.
Decorating for the reception:
There's
a random stage in the hall--we did a display with Matt's Eagle Scout
uniform and my formal riding outfit. And you can see my urns of prarie
grasses. I loved them.
Matt and his dad playing with tables.
Putting baskets of flowers on the tables. We were quite concerned about getting ribbon colors too close together.
Finshed tables. I wish Matt and I could have brought home one of the live ferns. They were pretty.
A completed table. Fern, M&M's with our names on them, jordan almonds, petals, and confetti.
Jess, making chain at the rehersal.
Rehersal Dinner:
The view from from the wagon ride. I love the West.
Thunderheads. There was a rainbow, but it didn't come out.
Part
of the location. We did a chuck wagon dinner (steak, green beans,
potatoes, and bread with homemade ice cream for desert). The location
was really awesome.
Watching another group go on the wagon ride. Grandma looks really nice in this one.
More location.
Making faces at Patrick while watching the gifts for the wedding party.
I like this picture.
You can kind of see Chimney Rock if you look.
Entrance to the location--taken on the way out, of course.
The wagon.
Inside the wagon.
Getting ready:
Sara, getting her hair done. It was way to early to be up getting our hair done.
The side of Sara's head.
Deidre, almost done.
We're done, can we go now?
Sara's hair, all finished.
Yeah,
I'm thrilled to be here. Really. My hair looks really red here. Love
the long distance, I can't see without my glasses, stare.
Deidre's hair, she too looks thrilled to be awake.
Charis's hair is half way there. Love the curls.
Sara deciding on her hair.
More of Deidre's hair.
Particularly attractive stage of Sara's hair.
Why do you keep taking my picture when I can't see?!
Charis ready to go--she looked awesome in her dress.
Sara,
also ready. I'm impressed that I found a dress color that looked good
on both Sara and Charis, what with their vastly different coloring and
all.
Deidre, mostly ready.
Reception and Dinner Party:
Cutting the cake. I cropped it.
Feeding each other--no smooshing.
I'm not sure what they're doing to Matt, but it looks uncomfortable.
Jess, follwing me about to make sure I don't kill anyone.
Sara's pearls. All the bridesmaids got a strand.
Guests at the reception.
I
declared myself a cupcake when I sat down. I think the conversation
was something like "I'm a cupcake!", "Well, cupcakes are just pretty
muffins."
Carlton looks so serious.
Not sure what this face was about.
Charis and Deidre worked so hard setting up the party they didn't have time to take their hair down.
Jess and Patrick relaxing.
My mother had us open our gifts at the dinner. We got 3 crock pots, somehow.
Ginny checking out my cousin and her boyfriend's dogs.
Sometimes I like to wear baskets on my head. What?
We put a bow on Grandma, just 'cause.
After the party:
Charis's hair didn't recover until two washings later.
The bobby pins. From one head.
Playing with the bobby pins to put Matt's hair up. He's very patient.
See how pretty?
Taking down the hair.
Deidre's hair being freed.
Jess assures me it is rude to take pictures of people while they eat cookies.
Finally done, and the hair is free. Enjoying a beer.
we went to see Maggie on Sunday.
Directions, serious business.
That's all I've got for the moment. More to come, I'm sure.
If I'm in K-ville the weather is...
But if I'm in Nebraska it's more like...
