Anyhoo, we had gotten dressed, had our first look, and taken pictures in Central Park. There was one thing left to do - what was it again?

Oh yeah, get married.

Our guests were ready (and quite intrigued by the runner activities):

It was go time.

What have we done so far?

• Poured tea
• Bumbled our way through a rehearsal.
• Rewarded ourselves surviving the rehearsal with some food.
• I teased you.
• The ladies got beauteous.
• We put on our party clothes.
• We had our first look.
• We sweated it out in the park.

Up next - I make my way down the aisle. Will I trip? Wait and see…
