What we were doing four years ago today...

In honor of our anniversary today, I thought I'd post some my favorite wedding pictures.

So without further ado, here they are:

My bridesmaids and I got ready at my sister's house because it was across the street from the church. Here we are in her backyard.

The bride...

And the groom. Isn't he so cute? (If you look closely, he has a huge set of keys - seriously, like janitor keys - in his one pocket. I yelled at him after I saw these pics and his response was, 'Well, what was I supposed to do with them?" Um, give them to any one of the 185 people in attendance at your wedding to carry?)

My whole life I dreaded getting married in the church I grew up in because it was very 70's - all wood and not very traditional - but this shot actually made it look cool.

I love this shot. My two sisters are directly above his head.

This is Ry.an's little cousin, the ring bearer, but I always thought this picture made it look like he was our kid.






I'm not a big fan of my dress, but I like it in this shot.

Our reception was held in an historic barn in Coop.erstown, NY, which is about 20 minutes from where I grew up.

At the end of the night, my mom tried to save these wreaths to give them to special people (including me) and she was only able to grab a couple because people stole them! So needless to say I never got one. And interestingly enough, the few people who did never even offered one to me! Some of the bridesmaids' bouquets were stolen to. And these were people we invited to the wedding!

Oooh, what I would give for a piece of that flourless chocolate cake right now. It's definitely not low G.I. (although it is flourless...)

I also love this shot (although this picture I took today of it came out blurry). This tent was right off of the old barn where the inside portion was held, which you can see in the background. The night was really magical,
just like it should be!

That's it for the wedding photos, but this is where we went after the wedding - our honeymoon, which was a cruise in the Mediterranean, mostly Italy with a couple French ports as well. This is Portofino.

And, just for fun, this is us shortly after we started dating. It is probably from back in 1999. So long ago!

Well thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me. And thanks to my groom, for the four best years of my life!
