Looking through pictures

I have to admit that I rather still enjoy looking at our wedding pictures. Sad, I know.

This was my mantra for the day (yeah, yeah I know it's over done and the poster is everywhere but I still love the sentiment).



Mom's collection of milk glass looked quite wonderful on the tables...



I think my Dad thought I was nuts when I asked him to go to the St Lawrence market to buy a whole bunch of artichokes, but I thought they looked really good in the arrangements.



And I think my little birdies (which now reside on our window sill) looked quite cute.





The only thing about looking at the pictures is that it makes me miss my family and friends even more. Skype is a wonderful thing, but I miss my bestest girlies. I was so grateful for all of their help and support during the planning process and on the day itself.

Because Lee forgot to bring the bridesmaid presents to the rehearsal dinner (he blamed it on the fact that the Brits dish out their gifts on the wedding day), we gave the girls the gifts during our speeches. Their Cath Kidston book bags contained some personalized stationery that I made, an Etsy print, a bracelet made just the highway from us in Chipping Campden, and some British candy.



I also get such a kick out of looking at the candid shots that our friends uploaded to Flickr. Even though we put a little note about the Flickr site in our favours, it took a bit of arm twisting to get people to upload their pictures. But it was worth it to get some quality shots like these:









We're not Jewish but this was actually good fun!



And a bunch of drunks on the shuttle bus back back to the hotel at the end of the night...
