To Have and To Hold– Again

July 10th, 2008 @ 1:15 pm by Mrs. Bubblegum

To Have and To Hold
To Do The ‘Do
To Bake a Cake
To “Break It Down”
To Play Dress-Up

The first time around, I was sooo super excited to post ceremony pictures that I may have skipped a bit- thus I cannot help but revisit our ceremony– of course, in picture-form:

So my adorable niece was the first down the aisle – and although I didn’t get to see it, I heard she was hilarious. She had a basket full of red flower petals to drop, and she apparently stopped and carefully placed each one on the ground because she’s awesome.

Just look at that concentration:

I am so ashamed of this next picture. In my defense though, our aisle was much thinner than it should have been on account of the impromptu indoor ceremony. Well, when my parents started walking me down the aisle, my mommy stepped on my dress – twice. After that, I guess I was so excited to book it down there, I ended up leaving them behind :)

Only later to realize what I’d done…

Well, luckily we all eventually made it down the aisle and got the ceremony started. I had mentioned that each member of our wedding party gave a little anecdote/mini-speech – I cannot stress how funny some of these were. We laughed a bit. I mean, quite a bit. Thank god we like funny people.

To the extent that I took on mannerisms that I’ve never had up until this point – like covering my mouth while laughing (seriously, do I think I’m fooling anyone? And does it look like I’m picking my nose?).

But then we had to get serious because our officiant was saying things that we needed to *gasp* REPEAT. Mr. BG and I are still talking about how we’ve never concentrated harder on remembering anything, ever, in life.

And then there were the vows we’d written. Two important notes: 1) My brother was my bridesman and I made him hold my bouquet…quite a bit throughout the day, actually, because it made me chuckle. 2) Mr. BG has his hand in his pocket because he’s so cooool reading his vows:

Woohoo! Tada! We’re married! Wanna see some smooching? Here was our first married kiss (the exact words were, “you may now kiss your handsome husband.”):
havehold4

Well, when we finished, our Officiant basically said it wasn’t good enough, and we had to do it again– I was like, SERIOUSLY??? It wasn’t good enough??? Well now I had performance anxiety – but at least BIL BG thought it was HI-larious.

And as we were walking down the aisle, I remembered that our officiant had told us to plan something “spontaneous” for the walk down the aisle – something sweet like a kiss. Well, the kiss was never captured. What we do have in photo-form, however, is me stopping Mr. BG to yell at him to do something spontaneous:

And in blog-memory of Mrs. Lovebug’s one awesomely bad photo, I will share some truly bad pictures…

Oh god, the slouching – the face – “do I HAVE to get married?” – while Mr. BG is reading his vows, no less:

And being just-plain-pretty:

Wait for it…

There we go.

Look the pictures Mrs. Bubblegum! And I love the earrings? Where did you get them? I’m getting married at the end of August and I still haven’t found mine yet!

You looked gorgeous and Mr. BG looked handsome (so did your bro holding the bouquet - hehe)! I’m not sure I’m liking this trend of Bees sharing their cry-face. You’re setting me up to be obligated missy! Erm, you aren’t a missy anymore, now are you?

I’m loving this new “ugly wedding photos” trend. I can’t wait to find all of mine. I anticipate many many. Your photos are doing such a great job of really telling your story.

Hahaha, I’m glad you guys enjoyed the bad pictures. :) I am SUCH a sloucher - I was worried about it all day, but I must’ve forgotten myself :) Let’s just assume I was melting from his vows… yeah, that’s it.

Jackie - Thanks!! They’re from Aldo Accessories (like Aldo’s, but sometimes they have whole stores devoted to accessories - http://www.aldoaccessories.com/index.html).

I actually laughed out loud at the “Do I HAVE to get married?” picture. I hope Mr. BG keeps that to pull out during arguments to make you giggle!
