The fire alarm went off towards the end of the night. It was a nice break from all the dancing and music.

A great shot of my french bustle.

Overall, the night was phenomenal, and we were so happy to see all of our guests in Philadelphia. I gotta admit there were some unexpected surprises that happened throughout the day, but nothing really got in the way of making our day very special.

I’m glad that all the wedding planning is *finally* over, and I have to thank all of the readers for supporting me throughout the process. Before planning for the wedding, I had no clue what was really involved in a wedding! Your opinions were extremely valuable and I thank everyone for helping me plan for our special day.

Mrs. Bell Pepper you had such a beautiful wedding- I absolutely love looking at all your pictures.

Quick question– did you wear a bra with your dress? My dress has a similar low back cut and it is low on the sides (sharp cut down from the side boob :-) ) and I can’t find one that doesn’t show. Any great suggestions?

Amy,

I actually didn’t wear a bra, I had cups sewn into the dress. I didn’t want to worry about anything underneath getting the way between me and my dress! :)
