A few pretty shots from the best day of my life...

Well, my fellow blogger BooMama is doing a "Christmas Tour of Homes" and I figured, hey my house still isn't decorated this year because dangit, I've been planning a wedding. I thought however that a few pictures of the most beautiful Christmas time wedding I've ever seen (if I do say so myself) would be in order! We just tied the knot last weekend (December 8) and I'm please to share our fun day with all of you!
Here we are together, Cori, Niki, Me, Bill, Keith, Mikayla, Shawn, Ros and Jay
My favorite shot of the day, the kiss picture was taken in the first moments of him seeing me, he was speechless, which isn't normal.
"THE" ultimate cupcakes, red velvet, raspberry filled, cream cheese frosted beauties, don't forget the hand piped snowflakes on each one. I may have gained about 20 pounds from eating leftover cupcakes.
our dresses ready for action!
the cocktail tables in the reception area, tall (42" tables) with black linens and covered with black and ivory toile paper squares, topped with candles and a mint julep floral centerpiece (standard red, black beauty roses with lime green hypericum, orchids and greens)

The first rush of kids at the hot cocoa table, man was that a hit! We had carafes of cocoa, whip cream, sprinkles, candy canes, flavored coffee creamers (egg nog, peppermint, etc) it was amazing! I didn't dare with the ivory dress but I know those kids had a great time!
imagine the lighting softer, all we had lighting the space was the christmas lights and candles, it was beautiful!
Keith, Mikayla and I doing our sand ceremony. We are a really blended family now!
our sand ceremony table with our marriage license and mistletoe ball. Oh yeah and I handpainted the KJ and at the last minute had no where to use it, it works here right?
Don't we look like we're listening so intently!
My hubs is in the sunglass industry, can you tell? This is our departure to our awaiting car! Everyone was ringing their ringers, and as expected, Keith could not hear them. Oh well, I loved it! I better like it, I have about 200 ringers left, anyone want a snowflake, jingle bell tree ornament? I have a few!

For my regular readers, here is your notice, barring a massive newlywed kiss session, I should be posting about a gagillion photos tonight. Reine and Dean have finished and given me THREE disks worth of photos to share! YAY!
