Photographer: Samantha Warren Weddings Cannot Recommend Highly Enough!
If you’ve been following along with any of my wedding recap posts, then you already know that I am very much in love with the photos taken by our amazing photographer, Sam. She gave us over twelve hundred photos that together tell the story of our wedding day beautifully. It’s hard to pick favorites, but I’d have to say…

I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
Mr. Gloss and I looked EVERYWHERE (three different states, although Maine was our primary search location) to find that perfect/affordable venue. And we finally found one after about five months of searching, which seems like forever in the wedding world! We looked at lots of places, and researched way more, that had ‘Reception Packages’ and traditionally held/hosted Weddings. But, apparently I like to make things…

I am most excited to be the newest addition to the hive and to be Miss Gloss! Nonetheless, at first I didn’t think I was ‘Miss Gloss’ material. I don’t obsess over new shades, and would never wait in line to get the latest in the lip-gloss craze. After pondering it for a moment, I realized that I miss it when it is not there,…

Don’t worry, we sent (most of!) our thank yous out months ago. It’s just taken me this long to get around to sharing them with you.
On a great recommendation from Mrs. Eggplant, whose thank you cards I adored, I decided to go with PS Print for the printing. I designed the following layout in Photoshop, and easily uploaded it to their website:

During the final few songs that were played at our reception, I didn’t want to let go of my new husband. We kept asking each other, incredulously, “Did you have any idea how much FUN this was going to be!?”
I think in this photo we are screaming at each other the “BUM BUM BUUUUM” part of “Sweet Caroline”… you know, “good times never seemed so…

Okay, okay, I know this might make me unpopular, but we did (and loved) both a garter toss and a bouquet toss. We’re among the first of our friends to get married, and have a ton of younger cousins, so we had plenty of willing participants. What can I say, we like tradition.
With all the craziness of the storm/power outage, our timeline had been thrown…

Hello hive! Anybody remember me!? I’ve been loving all of the recaps lately, and thinking it’s about time I finished mine!
We left off with the power back on, the band keeping the dance floor packed, and the sun setting on our wedding day. With the night quickly drawing to a close, there were a few things we had to take care of.

Mr. Tiramisu and I attended our seventh- and last(!) wedding of 2008 this past weekend. We headed up to Philadelphia to celebrate the wedding of Mr. T’s cousin. After a beautiful ceremony at St. Timothy’s, the celebration moved downtown to the gorgeous Curtis Center. And let me just say, wow! What a beautiful venue. After an extravagant cocktail hour we moved into the Atrium for…

I left you hanging a little bit there after my last post with those crazy gaping-mouth pictures- sorry! But a lot of you figured out that the photos were those of a surprised bride receiving an awesome gift on her wedding night- electricity! That’s right, after nearly three hours of power-free celebrating, it…

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…

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!

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…
