While we were inside finishing up our quick posed portraits, most of our guests were outside getting their wedding wands and awaiting our exit!

And I had to make a quick costume change, of course!

Hello, birdcage veil! It’s been so long!

Then it was time to make our first appearance as husband and wife!

We went in for a romantic kiss:

Took a moment to bask in being glamorous rock-stars:

And then it was time to get that parade going!

In case you couldn’t tell, we weren’t having any fun at all:

Our guests were really good sports about it too, and seemed to be enjoying themselves!

So much so that someone started a rousing round of “Goin’ To The Chapel”, hence the incredibly goofy faces…

Yes, it was unconventional, unexpected, and maybe even a little uncouth (or slightly bridezilla?) to ask my guests to walk with us through the streets of New York…

… but that’s how we roll here in NYC, and I don’t think any of our guests look the worse for wear because of it!

So for those of you ladies out there busy planning your weddings right now, when someone tells you that a wedding choice you’re making is “uncool,” “unheard-of,” “unacceptable,” “too out there,” “unbridal,” or anything else…

… just think back to this post and remember how cool “different” can be. And tell them to shut it.

Because there are a lot of smiling, happy people in that picture up there, and the naysayers just don’t know what they’re talking about.

Oh, and big props to my fabulous MOH who carried my train through Manhattan. After what a huge help she was at our wedding, she’s decided to open her own Wedding Coordination business in Huntsville, AL! I can’t mention enough how lucky we were to have surrounded by such giving friends and family who made our big day so incredible.

What about your wedding planning has made people raise their eyebrows?
