Weddingbee Blog

You know what they say—there’s a story behind every picture. As I near the end (not today) of my Weddingbee recaps, I’d like to share some of my favorite pictures of the night and let you in on some Dumpling silliness along the way. It was so hard going through all 3000 photos from The Cohens, but here we go.

All photos by The Cohens.

This is me, sitting in my bedroom right before putting on my dress, writing the final check of the day. That’s Weddingbee on my laptop in the background. Love my WB girls.

I was pregnant when I got married, and my boobs grew like two sizes. Score. They looked awesome and I wanted to squeeze them all night. Kidding…

This is me trying to hold those suckers together so my dress would snap in the back. I think I’m praying here “please let my boobs stay in. KthanksBai.”

Me and my dad walking into the church on a very windy wedding day. My dad was the veil holder. I paid $10 (yes, TEN) for that veil on eBay and I wasn’t about to damage something so expensive, so I made him hold onto it. I’m bossy.

View from the back. My dad walking me down the aisle.

Dude, our ceremony was loooong. It wasn’t full mass, but it was still long. Mr. Dumpling got a little sleepy. This might be my favorite picture of the whole entire day.

Just powerful.

The handsome men. Hot, right?

The wedding party posing in front of the vintage car my dad rented for the day. This was a difficult shot to pose for because it was so flipping sunny that day. I kept squinting and I’m not entirely sure my eyes are all the way open in this picture. I remember my photographer telling me to tough it out because I would be happy with the end result. He was right. I shouldn’t have bitched so much, but I was pregnant and I had an excuse. I loved pulling the pregnant card.

Me and my girls. It was sunny here too, and I think I just said, out loud, that I was hungry and someone better shove food in my mouth before I started getting nasty with everyone. HAHAHAHAHA don’t piss off the preggo… nervous laughs all around. And then Rachael, to my right, snorted.

Mr. & Mrs. Dumpling. I told him to go get my sunglasses but I guess he forgot. And he didn’t share his. WTH??

OK, so this is my BFF Jessica, and because our bridal party was uneven (one of my BMs had to drop out because she had JUST had a baby a month prior and couldn’t make the cross country flight…), she got to walk in with two guys instead of one. I think this is her dream come true, honestly. She kept making googly eyes at the one on the left… and the next night when we saw him perform (he’s in a show), he gave her a special shout-out. She may have peed her pants.

My girls and me on the dance floor. Jessica is saying, “OMG you have a baby in there!” and I’m all, “What!?! OMG you’re right. I’m so glad I’m not just fat!”

The guys smoking cigars on the balcony… they think they’re so cool.

Which brings me to my favorite shot of the night. This is Mr. Dumpling serenading me on the dance floor, in front of everyone, with one of my favorite songs of all time. I’m sitting on one of the groomsmen’s laps because he knew I’d be too shy and start turning red if I had to sit in the middle of the ballroom by myself while he sang to me. So, he pre-arranged for Bill to scoop me up and sit with me so I would be more comfortable… which I did. But Mr. Dumpling had just learned that song THAT MORNING after never hearing it before in his entire life. Love, right? Yeah. It is.

If you’re wondering, the song is, “Here, There and Everywhere” by The Beatles. They are musical geniuses.
