    This is the second of seven submissions to the recap section of this site that I will be doing. In this submission I am showing some pictures of us and the wedding party.

    The first picture is of me and the girls just before we walk out the door of my room to get ready to walk. The pictures of just the guys were taken while we were getting ready and the other pictures were taken after the ceremony.

    It was rainning the day of our wedding, so we didn't get as many outdoor shots as we would have liked. The grass was so wet that I was sinking down into it. My shoes got wet and dirty, so if I can't get them clean by myself, I will have to take them to a cobbler to have cleaned. Also, when we were taking the outside pictures, I had to have major help with my gown, so it wouldn't get dirty. I have included a couple pictures of that too.

    For your veiwing pleasure I have also included a picture of all but one and myself of the wedding party escaping for a while.

    I apologize for some of the captions being messed up. It would seem that the bee is having some issues. They were correct and everything had a caption when I hit submit, but it looks like some of the captions aren't showing and others are not with the correct picture :-/

    Here are a couple more pictures with the train showing. I wish we could have taken them on the grass, but it was way to wet and would have totally ruined my dress.

    Thank you every so much ladies for each of your wonderful comments. They are making me feel much better about the pictures :-)

    @Cappugcino: Thank you. It is a Justin Alexander 8137, and it was absolutely perfect for the venue. I will be posting it for sale very soon.

    @MsInterpret: Thank you. My youngest is 25. He is very tall compared to me. When he comes to visit and I get upset about something, he says "It's okay mommy" and pats me on the head :-/ And yes my kids still call me mommy when no one is around but family :-)

    @noritake22: Awww.  My eldest called me "mama" until he was 16 or so. Only when it was just us, of course.  But now it's "mom" from both boys. :-(

    And yeah, I've noticed lots of glitchy-ness on the Bee lately when I try and post pics.  Usually it leaves the last one off completely!

    I love the girls dresses and all of your pictures are to die for!!  So unique!! You must have spent a fortune on your wedding!!!  I just keep telling myself that if I wouldn't be able to put every picture up on my walls, so I have to be happy with the photos that I have.  Your dress must have weighed a ton!!!!

    @CruiseWedding2010: Thank you for your wonderful compliments. I am really glad that you love the girls dresses. I worked very hard making them. We didn't really spend that much on the wedding; relatively speaking. We spent less than we budgeted, so we were very happy about that. I think that the venue is what makes it look more expensive than it was, and we had our wedding in the off season, so we saved money there. I am sure your pictures are beautiful. I plan to make a photo wall for a lot of our pictures because I really think our photographer did a wonderful job and I want us to be reminded of how happy we were on our day every day. And yes, my dress was heavy, but I didn't really notice. I was having too much fun.

    @ellabee: I didn't really realize how long my train was until I saw the pictures. I thought it was much shorter, but it did make for some great pictures.

    You are making me cry happy tears. I have been called "cute" all of my life, so it was very nice to be beautiful for just one day :-)
