Ok, here are some wedding photos! I was able to find a cute outfit for the ceremony, although it wasn't quite the dress I had planned!! I was just glad I was able to find something that looked nice on such short notice. The ceremony itself was wonderful. A dear friend of my husband's family, a man who is almost like his grandfather, officiated and it was beautiful. Afterwards DH's parents hosted a really wonderful reception. We had initially planned on having the meal catered by our co-workers at the Olive Garden but Nate's dad really wanted to cook- and cook he did! We had delicious smoked chicken, potatoes, homemade rolls and mints, lots of veggies, and a nearly home-made cake that was made by a friend of my aunt's who happens to make cakes on the side. Everything went wonderfully and we had a great time. It doesn't hurt that we got some really great presents too
This is us in front of the tree on the altar-
This is us with my mom-
This is us smootching!
here we are with the pastor-
This picture is kind of dark, but I really like it!
This is Nate feeding me cake- my aunt kept trying to get us to smoosh it on each other's faces!
My aunt managed to talk my friend Diane into putting a flower on my nose- as close to cake smooshing as she was going to get!
And here we are with my sister-in-law and her husband. Her husband ended up being Nate's bestman, as our piano player couldn't make it and his bestman could actually play the piano- so it worked out in the end! These two are so unbelievably wonderful and generous. They even bought us a hotel for the night with a big jacuzzi and fire place!!
Hopefully that isn't too many pictures to post. Thank you for looking and for everyone's well-wishes!!
