More wedding pictures!

Another installment of Show Us Your Life over at Kelly's Korner. This week is wedding parties and flowers. I had a really, really hard time choosing pictures because there are so many I love (but also many I hate. Why didn't anyone tell me to stand up straight?!) and so many things I could have included. My original list had 9 pictures but I narrowed it down to 3.


A great picture of the wedding party in front of the building where Matt proposed. I'm not going to go into detail about who everyone is but they were and still are our loved ones and we're happy they were a part of the day. Our colors were red and gold so the ladies had yellow and red roses and the guys had red calla lily boutonnieres (I think).


Here is the obligatory jumping picture. Everyone really gave it their all. I'm glad there weren't any injuries! My bouquet was a dream come true. I went to the florist with a list of flowers I wanted in it and she made it happen. I had roses (some big, red and luscious kind with a name I can't remember), stargazer lilies, and gorgeous dahlias. Matt's boutonniere was also a dahlia.


I don't really know why we went along with this pose which isn't particularly flattering to anyone but I love it. This picture had been sitting on my dresser until we moved. It is among the missing items that must all be together in a box in Illinois.


So I said 3 but meant 4. This is also a favorite that I had sitting on my dresser (also missing). I thought they were supposed to be pretending to pull Matt and I apart but as the other not so pretty shots would show if I posted them, I was actually being pulled and almost fell over. I have to give the wedding party props for being so cooperative on a hot August day after standing through a Catholic wedding in a church with no air conditioning. They must love us.
