The bridal party portraits finished at 4:45… exactly 15 minutes before the wedding was supposed start. My maids and I hustled back to the suite to mop the sweat from our faces and try to salvage our makeup. I assume Ribs and his best man did the same, perhaps without the makeup.
Guests were a little reluctant to go out to the courtyard early; it was still very much in the realm of hot and humid. Rumor has it that everyone piled into the groom’s side of the aisle to be in the shade.
While Ribs was ready downstairs, I had just enough time to put on my veil and another swipe of lipstick.
Ribs and his parents walked in to “Hallelujah”—the Jeff Buckley version, played by his brother on guitar.
And then the procession began. “The Wind” by Cat Stevens was playing.
I started to feel emotional at this point; the song got to me and having both of my parents at my side really cemented the fact that this was happening.

I love the black and white picture of you with your parents. You can see the emotion in all of your faces!
I love that you had both parents walk you down the aisle! That’s so sweet. I can’t wait to see more pictures because it looks so romantic.
Love your song choices and the emotion in the pics, each of your recaps gets more lovely!

Mrs. Ribbons, Washington D.C./Bloomington, IN Age and Occupation: 23, Research Associate for an international development firm Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Proposal Coordinator for contractor Engagement Date: May 2, 2008 Wedding Date: June 2010 Venue: Indiana Memorial Union About Me: I'm an Indiana transplant living in DC with my fiance and our pretty kitty. I enjoy the color pink, I'm obsessed with the Dior New Look and tulle, and I heart my level 80 paladin. I'm a sucker for bad TV, literary theory, and cakes of all persuasion. I also happen to be marrying the cutest closet nerd around! It's all about Bloomington for us because it's where we met -- on the college paper. If there's a theme for our small summertime wedding, it's Dior meets Dorothy Draper on a lark in Bloomington; think poofy, plus graphic prints, bold colors, and a whole lot of prettiness.
