Dress trial run:
Wedding dress try-on
I so want to write a funny caption, but sometimes you just can't best a facial expression, this one being one of my finer chaplin-esque moments
Showing off my something blue undies
day of - the excitement has been piling up for a year, you can see it all in my eyes (it all came out after the wedding by the way, I could barely move the next two days, I was all laid up in supta baddha konasana, and had hives all over my body, amazing how the body stores and gets rid of tension and excitement)
all dressed up and ready to go - me and my beautiful sisters, Kate and Jackie
me and my beautiful best friend, Jessie, finally starting to relax after the crazed day of dress-up
Almost there!!!
Aw, Baby looks SO HANDSOME!!!!!
My awesome awesome cousins made us a wedding card on the white board up in the 'kids room'
Playing wii with Iz while Kate gets me all bustled up
I am a fierce bad guy getter
with Eric and his and Elena's baby, Clover - I love this baby, she is so gorgeous (and she has a killer jaw-grip, here she is developing her masseter with my index finger as resistance)
My favorite - Martin plus a delicious plate of food (pistachio crusted sea bass - grrrr - thanks Tables of Content)
Being toasted
I wouldn't be my idea of me if I didn't flout convention - when Andrew Bird's 'Dear Old Greenland' started playing, I just had to dance, couldn't wait for the official song (Stephin Merritt's (Magnetic Fields) Book of Love)
"You get out here too!!!"
So happy together - best party ever
Edmund made us a lovely and delicious cake, here he is presenting it with a wonderful toast
"If I Knew You Were Coming I'd Have Baked a Cake" by Cookie Monster - best wedding cake cutting song ever! Sung by my namesake, CM, and the OCD Count in the background the whole time counting the lyrics.
Martin and his Mom dancing together
Jessie and Teddy
Mom and sisters looking very happy
Nick and Bob
as time (t) increases, we see a clear correlation with an increase in hamming it up (h)
Jessie and her boys, or as she says "me and my gays"
Enjoying the cab ride back home
Oops! We don't have keys to our house! Waiting for my family to get to their chosen hangout, The Burren, so that we can find our keys
All dressed up and sitting in an Irish pub
Love my baby and my baby loves me
Jessie's bouquet - the greens purples and blues in the hydrangea were so beautiful! Thank you Faxon Green for being so creative and fun and letting me collaborate with you - these were the coolest bouquets ever!
