With our stealth operation to get on to the boat unseen complete, we went to the upper deck and hung out in the captain’s cabin until the remainder of the guests arrived. Luckily, we were also able to hang out outside in a few areas where we wouldn’t be seen because it was rather roasty toasty and my full-on bridal ‘glow’ was actually sweat.

…

After a few bridal party photos (alright, maybe it was more than a few), Mr. Gloss and I snuck away for a few photos of our own.

The shots in the Adirondack chairs are my favorite, and I don’t think it would feel like a true Maine wedding without them!

And the view isn’t that bad, either.

After our first look we got started on shots of our fabulous bridal party.

I have already been married; please stop sending me multiple daily emails. I do not need to know the ‘#1 Hot Floral Tip for Brides’, or that it has been ‘Two Months Since Your Wedding’. I have unsubscribed from your mailing lists—some that I never subscribed to in the first place—countless times, and still you ignore my requests. I have marked you as ‘SPAM’ and…

Just a Reminder!

What: Boston Meet Up
Where: Fajitas and ’Ritas [25 West Street], close to both the park street (red/green line) and downtown crossing (red/orange/silver lines) t-stops.

After the guys arrived, our photogs quickly worked out the details of where our first look should take place (the lawn) and confirmed that I was ready to see my groom (I was). They arranged our bridal party in a haphazard-esque circle around Mr. Gloss, whose back was toward me.

This weekend was supposed to be my PWC (post wedding chop) weekend, and I was VERY ready. I was Google image searching ALL Friday for ’short curly hair’ knowing that I was ready for a big change (which doesn’t happen that often). After venting my frustration about only finding decaying pictures from the ’80s and early ’90s - Mrs. Cupcake confirmed my fear that there…

While we were still sequestered away in our separate hotels, we exchanged our gifts.

I forced Mr. Gloss to write me a sweet, heartfelt note about how much he loved me. No really, I gave him the card to write it on and everything:

I have a confession: I’m married - but I’m not over wedding planning! Apparently I didn’t get it out of my system, and I can’t say Mr. Gloss is going to be happy about that one when I ask to plan another party. It could get really out of control. So for now I’ll resign to fake-planning other people’s weddings.

Meanwhile, the guys were getting ready down the road. I know they were contemplating the meaning of marriage and the seriousness of the day…

… I mean, getting their mother to iron their clothes…

All I wanted was a good night of sleep the day before our wedding. I wanted to be relaxed and ready and not stressed, but mostly I didn’t want dark circles under my eyes. So after the rehearsal dinner (and maybe two bars) my MOH and I headed to the Blair Hill Inn where I proceeded to fall into the most delicious bed ever. In…

Guess what arrived in my mail today?

Our wedding photos!!! Really, this means I have little to no reason to put off recaps anymore, besides the writing… and resizing photos… and not getting sidetracked into reliving the day every time I look at the pictures.

The Boston bees are planning a meet-up and would love for you to join!

The meet-up is on October 21st @ 6PM at Fajitas & ’Ritas [25 West Street], close to both the Park Street (red/green line) and downtown crossing (red/orange/silver lines) T-stops.

Sorry for the crappy camera phone pic, but check out what Mr. Gloss bought me for my big day….

… a big shiny new sailboat!
