sweet memories


one wonderful things that happened during my visit to the boston area was that A and E gave me a three-year belated copy of the wedding pictures that they had from my big day. it has been so much fun to look through the photos and relive the fun.

for those that were there, and those who were not, here's a few of my favorite reminders.
the details, carefully chosen, the cake, the flowers, the teacups and teapots full of flowers, the petals spread, the flowers saved from my ceremony, displayed with other artifacts at the reception (held two months later), the dessert table, the games, the huge yard full of family and friends.





did i mention friends?
here i am with E, looking as beautiful as she does now as a glowing new mom.
and me, in my mom's 'vintage' wedding dress. i never imagined i would wear my mom's dress, but it was just so perfect, so me.


and then there's the college comrades.


and my lovely friend R, who herself is now planning her big day for later this year. (i can't wait!)


glorious E and C, and then E with K. i was so happy to see so many of these fine friends on my recent trip.


and there was the dancing... the contra dancing with a three piece band and caller and the photographer brave enough to get right in the middle of all the action.


this was our day, our day in every way. i loved every bit of it and love reliving the memories.

I'm glad you enjoyed looking at the pictures! I can't believe we waited three years to get them too you, but better late then never, right? Also, it was great to see you, even if it was just a short visit. The quilt is beautiful, and L will love it as he grows up!

Oh, I love weddings - and yours seemed just perfect. I am yet to go to a wedding that is laid-back and simple. All the frou-frou involved in getting married these days shits me to tears. Great photos by the way - such wonderful memories to keep the love fires burning...
