What is Mrs. Tiramisu up to now that she’s not consumed by wedding planning?

She’s back to her old ways of pretending her dog is a small child:

Back to the recap after a little hiatus! All images by the amazing Sam of Samantha Warren Weddings.

As was the unintended theme of our wedding, yet another unplanned event was added to the list of my favorite moments of the day. I really don’t remember how it happened, but one minute I was standing on the lawn talking to my dad, and the next minute…

Just how inspired were we by Snippet and Ink’s inspiration board for our wedding? I thought it might be fun to find out.

Exhibit A- the board Snippet and Ink created just for us:

Exhibit B- the Tiramisu interpretation:

As we headed up from the beach after our on the rocks photo session, I had the faintest hope that maybe our power would be miraculously back on. It wasn’t. But there was nothing else to do but join our now electricity-free wedding reception. Hey- at least we were being green!

I was…

Before I go on I just want to say that you all are way too sweet with your comments. And since a few of you mentioned it, I also have to assure you that I am no "hero" for smiling through the storm that happened on our wedding day. Sure I could have been a little upset, but in the midst of all that love…

We left off with the sky darkening, the guests running for cover in the house and in the tent, and two newlyweds beginning to wonder if their reception was going to be ruined. Here’s what happened next…

A little proof that if it’s true that rain on your wedding day is good luck, then clearly we are due for a whole lot of it:

The rain was…

So you’re probably thinking, Mrs. Tiramisu, you sure talked a big talk about a storm on your wedding day. What gives? Hang in there, it’s about to get more interesting!

When we first arrived at the reception site (after a windy return trip on the trolley), it was all blue skies and sun, and we were optimistic that it would stay that way.

As…

I’ve said before that after the fact, I found that paying attention to all the little details was totally worth it. Even with the craziness of our day (you’d think a table number sign might get overlooked in a hailstorm), our guests made sure to mention to that they loved the favors, or the martinis, or the centerpieces, or even the wine glasses. It meant…

Here come the details!

All photos (unless noted) are by Samantha Warren Weddings. Sam deserves HUGE praise for capturing all of these shots. She’s been a loyal reader of my blog (even before I became a bee!) and so she knew how important all of the little things were to me. Thanks, Sam!

Are you starting to get tired of all the planning nonsense? Do you want…

So there we were after all of that preparing. Pulling up in front of the church. Getting out of the trolley. Taking my dad’s arm. And all of a sudden, I was the girl at the top of the aisle in the white dress.

Photos once again (unless noted) by the terrific Samantha Warren of Samantha Warren Weddings.

Mr. Tiramisu’s cousin served as our ring bearer, which…

Last week I decided to follow in the long tradition of bees and brides everywhere, and so like Mrs. Toucan, Mrs. Lemon, Mrs. Snow Pea, Mrs. Petunia and Mrs. Radish before me, I give you the newlywed chop:

Seven inches of carefully grown out bride hair on the cutting floor. Yay! I’d been waiting to do this for months!

Anyone else have a big post-wedding chop planned?

…

Sorry for the delay, hive! These recaps take a long time to put together, because I get caught up in all of our pictures when trying to choose the few to use to tell the story of our wedding day. Did I mention that our fabulous photographer gave us over 1200 edited images? It’s overwhelming, and every time I look through them, I find new…

And finally… the pro pics!

All photos in this post (and please note, these aren’t the full resolution files—they’re way too huge!) are by the extremely talented and all-around delightful Samantha Warren of Samantha Warren Weddings (previously known as I Do Click Photography). We are just simply overwhelmed by all of the beautiful images that she captured. We knew we loved her work, but after clicking…

Now that the tent was up, lanterns hung, and porta-potties in the right spot, all that was left to do was rehearse for Saturday-Oh wait, I mean, all that was left to do was that and to check Weddingbee one last time:

Ok, phew, now we can rehearse.

I didn’t disappear! I apologize, hive, for my slacking in the blogging department. I could give you all sorts of excuses on why I haven’t started my wedding recap yet, but the important thing is I’m back and ready to share some stories!

First off, let me just say that I L-O-V-E being married. All of the planning, the stressing, the hours upon hours of putting…
