Love Again: First Glance

March 10th, 2009 @ 9:26 am by Mrs. Pineapple

The Rehearsal, Rehearsal Dinner, Rehearsal Dinner Gifts, Getting Ready

Mr. Pineapple and I decided to go ahead and do as many formal portraits as we could before the ceremony. Seeing each other before the wedding ended up not being a big deal anyway since we were already married. Any jinxing that was to be done had been already done at the Clymer magistrate.

Pittsburgh is known for its cold and cloudy days. Why it was 55 and sunny on an October day is beyond me, but I was thrilled. In fact, if it were any warmer, the thousand layers of pouf may have made me melt. The boys waited at the Omni while we headed to Mellon Square Park. It was the perfect location for us: right behind the hotel, three blocks from the River’s Club, surrounded by city-ness, but still with plenty of fall foliage.

One last look in the mirror for Mr. Pineapple.

We decided to do our best Abby Road impression. Lucky for us, Pittsburghers don’t go downtown unless they are on their way to work or a Stillers™ game.

I love this photo of Mr. Pineapple. He looks like a nervous groom about to wed! (Well, except that here he is already sporting his band.)

Then it was time for Mr. P and I to get all first glancey and such. Even though we were already wed, it was wonderful to see him for the first time in this way. He was finally able to see the dress that made me cry and I got to see him with a smile almost as big as mine.

For some reason these crazy girls in dresses were hollering at us.

Next, it was time for Mr. Pineapple to inspect my duds. I seem to remember flashing people like this a lot on our wedding day.

This is when Mr. P teased me about my “tiara”. The only things he knows about bridal fashion he learned while watching me watch the wedding episode of “Glamour Magazine’s Don’t List”. They said no tiaras. Whatever, mine was cute. ;)

One last kiss before portrait time.

Are you doing a first glance?

I love the contrast between the city shots and the ones in the park. Your photographer really captured everyone’s emotions so well!

I agree with Cupcake, that first shot is my fav!!! And the Mr. P looks very handsome and pensive in the shot of him in the mirror.

I wanted to do a first glance but the Mr wants to be surprised at the alter. So since his opinion is so important to me I figure why not.

Aww…how cute are you two! :) We aren’t doing a first glance before the ceremony. I think our parents would kill us and we want to surprise each other at the altar! :)

I love the huge smile on your face when you first saw Mr. Pineapple. You looked beautiful! So glad you got a warm October day in Pittsburgh - almost as weird as the 70-degree weather we had this past weekend. So unpredictable!

Love the crinoline!!! The Bees have inspired me to wear a colored crinoline, see my FI before the ceremony and get our formals out of the way, and spend the night before with the FI cuz I can’t bear to sleep without him.

*sigh* I heart Weddingbee!!

and love your pics, your Mr is so cute! And my fav pic is the one of him making fun of your tiara! :)

Oooo, we had decided to wait and see each other at the altar, but seeing the fun pics you had time for make me really reconsider… hmmm… ;) I swear Weddingbee is a catch-22 - too many great ideas!

Oh, so lovely! And your dress is just BEAUTIFUL. I may be biased, as I am getting married in the same one, but I just LOVE the way it floats as you walk down the street!

Oh my goodness - you look beautiful!!! And I love the shots that captured you with your bridal party (it reminds me of Carrie’s wedding in Sex and the City). And, of course, the ones of you with Mr. P are priceless!

Love the Abbey Road shot. It made me think of a mother duck and her little ducklings following her, hee hee. You look gorgeous! First glances are awesome.
