    Halloween    October 31, 2009   Los Angeles

    Our Hallowedding came and went with a some minor glitches but other than that it was perfect (and from what our guests have reported) really fun!

    We have yet to see any of our professional shots but of course our guests took tons of pictures.

    We had a traditional Catholic ceremony however we allowed our guests to dress up in a gangster theme. 

    We only had to turn away one guest (who ironically didn't RSVP and he brought two people with him).

    He was dressed like a monk and his daughter was head-to-toe dressed as a cat complete with face make-up and everything.

    They didn't seem too upset and ended up going straight to the reception.

    We had vintage getaway cars waiting outside the church which everone loved to take pictures with, and at the reception we had cigar rollers.  My gift to my husband was his favorite hockey team's mascot showing up with the grooms cake.  I had my brother-in-law sneak his jersey out of the house and when he arrived the DJ blasted the theme music as I escorted Bailey in.  I was so scared he was going to drop the cake but everything went really well.

    Attached are just a few pivotal pictures.  Sorry if they're out of order.

    Enjoy!

    I love everything you wore, from head to toe!  And the gangster outifts would have me laughing all night long.  So fun!

    Thanks for all the nice comments.  I'll be sure to let my hairdresser know that she did a good job.

    I got so many answers from the Wed Bee boards and I found my very comfortable shoes on this site.

    My only regret is that I had known about it sooner.

    I clicked on your profile & you're 38?? I never would have thought you were over 30!

    You looked beautiful on your wedding day & I'm glad everything turned out so wonderful! Congratulations :)

    stephin believe it or not those are Christmas tree ornaments from Hallmark's 2009 collection.  In stores now!  We un-screwed the hooks from the tops of their heads and no one knew.

    They were the perfect size.

    I'm attaching a few more pictures.

    Thanks again!

    Recessionistbride...I LOVE YOU!!!

    I'm sure many of you are curious as to my new husbands age.  He'll be 38 tomorrow.

    I've seen his yearbook pictures.  He's not lying.  He started going grey in jr. high.
