This Will Be Our Year: Something New

We arrived at the venue half an hour early (three hours before the scheduled ceremony time), but there were already guests milling about the property. GASP! Claudia, our ceremony site coordinator, quickly whisked us away into the bridal dressing room so I didn't get waylaid by the early birds.

(Puh-leez. There will be no hugging the bride until my wedding dress is on, thank you!)
And speaking of my wedding dress, I'd like to show you my "something new..."

(They might not be Prada, but they were still pretty! And comfortable enough to dance in all night!)
And speaking of my wedding dress being on...! Remember how I failed to feed myself before the wedding? I wasn't able to turn it around: my dress was too big!

How many bridesmaid does it take to dress a Spaniel?
(No joke; that dress was sliding right down my torso!)
Thanks to some quick thinking and a safety pin or two, I did not flash the wedding guests that night. Soon, all that was left to do was to get into my shoes before heading out for portraits.


I really like the juxtaposition of these two images. In both pictures, I can see my closest friends supporting me on my wedding day—in the first picture, you can see it pretty literally, as BM-Y basically held me up while I got my feet into those shoes. ;) The second picture is still part of the Spaniel-shoeing process, but it looks a lot calmer, doesn't it?
