Getting ready to exchange vows - the big moment!
Here it goes…
The blessing of the rings
I’m not sure why he’s laughing…
Here’s Mr. Radish putting my ring on
And now my turn!
I kept looking at the priest instead of Mr. Radish when I was saying my vows. Ooops!
… and now you may…
… KISS THE BRIDE!!! (p.s. I love the look on my sister’s face in this picture. She is so darn cute)
Alright - it’s done! Doesn’t Mr. Radish look relieved? Or is that an “Oh %$*@! what have I done!” face? 
It was a long walk out of there, too!
Yay! We made it 
I love this picture. We look so happy!
Then we stood in the church vestibule for a minute. We didn’t know what we were supposed to do next!
Here comes the stragglers…
Now it’s time for the receiving line.
Stay tuned for the next episode!

Beautiful photos! You guys are such a gorgeous couple.
I love the vest and tie combo on the guys! We were looking for something similar today. Where did you rent/buy them?
DCGirl — we rented them from Afterhours Formal Wear. I think it’s a national chain, so you may be able to find one near you.
I LOVE your veil! It is to die for! You look so happy in your pictures. Congratulations! 
Beautiful!!! All the “chapters” to your wedding have been stunning and wonderfully orchestrated. Where did you find your bridesmaids dresses and are they navy and gray and each a different style/texture?
CONGRATULATIONS!
pixielee25 — the bridesmaids dresses are all navy blue (they might just look grey in some of the pics) lace dresses from Bari Jay. They are all the same material and color, but just some are v-neck and a couple are strapless. I let the girls pick which they wanted.
Ah, more beautiful photos! I love how we can see you looking at Mr. Radish out of the corner of your eye in the very first picture…and the way the light looks so golden and warm in some of the pictures of the “stragglers”. Yay for you guys!

About Me: Mr. Radish and I are both from upstate New York, so we are planning a wedding in Syracuse from about 700 miles away. When I’m not obsessing about our wedding I play the cello in my band (which Mr. Radish is in too), read as much as I can, sleep even more, travel whenever possible, and try to find time to have fun with my friends. I’m also working on finishing up my journalism degree with a concentration in environmental reporting and I’m the VP of my campus Amnesty International chapter… so I’m a pretty busy bee.
Radish, these are all so pretty! Thanks for sharing them all…I lurve them!!
