We didn’t exactly PLAN to have a gap between ceremony and reception on our wedding day. We just booked each venue at the time that worked best … then realized there were about three hours between events.

I was torn about the gap, because I’ve attended weddings where I found in-between-time to be a little annoying. But it was extremely valuable for us because we (by which I mean our guests!) did all the decorating and needed time to work. And because I’m easily tired, it was nice to rest up between events.

But best of all? Our photographer used part of the time to take some amazing portraits of the two of us canoodling on the streets around the ceremony space:

(The whole area is just so darn photogenic — every house offered spectacular backdrops)

(In retrospect, I’m not a fan of the shawl and veil together. Yes, it was COLD! But have 10 seasons of ANTM taught me nothing, if I’m not prepared to suffer for the model’s art??)
