Some Early Wedding Pictures

We don't have the official professional pictures from Bobby yet. But here are a few that Ross and Ryan (the photographers that helped Bobby) have posted on Flickr:

Bobby and the guys took over 5,000 shots on the Big Day, so I can only imagine that it will take them some time to go through everything. Check back for a link to all of the shots from our wedding.

Awesome Honeymoon!

We had an amazing honeymoon in Ireland. Thom did a great job driving on the wrong side of the road while I navigated us around the country. Here are a few of the 600 some pictures we took.

Super Fun Reception

What a FUN time! I think it is safe to say that everyone had a blast at the reception. The food was delicious, the drinks (especially the tasty home brew) were flowing, the cake was yummy, and the cookie table was a big hit. The Band rocked! The dance floor was packed the whole night, we even got Thom and Joey out on the dance floor :)

Great Wedding

The wedding ceremony was very special! I cried, Thom turned red, we both giggled (everyone says I giggled a little more than Thom). Since I was in the back with Dad, getting ready to make our grand entrance, I didn't get to see the Mom's and Grandma lighting the candles or Maddy throwing the flowers, but everyone said it went great. All of the readers did a wonderful job, and Uncle Eddie gave a great homily. It was really special to Thom and I to have such a personalized wedding ceremony. Thank you to everyone who came to be a part of our ceremony and were there while we exchanged our wedding vows.

Feeling Organized...Feeling Good

Last night Thom and I organized all of the goodies for the wedding. He got some of his old totes down from the attic and we divided up all of the stuff we have to take to the various venues. There is a big tote for the reception, and the rehearsal dinner and a smaller box for the church.

The rehearsal dinner tote is so big because it like Santa’s bag…full of gifts for the Bridal Party :) Then I have some colored napkins left over from the Man Shower that Aunt Ellen sent me home with. I figure the Rehearsal dinner is the perfect place to use those up.

I unwrapped all of the candles for the center pieces, and unity candle, and other decorative candles last night. That took quite a bit of time. We have a lot of candles. Then Thom and I set up an example of the candle center pieces and took some pictures. Thom printed the pics off so we can drop them off with the supplies. After all the trouble we went through to get those candles we wanted the center pieces to look good. And the hall was a little nervous to set them up with out an example, so the pictures should do the trick.

Mom and Jax are dropping off the rest of the goodies that are going into the reception tote by tomorrow. And Thom is picking up the last of the stuff to be dropped off at the hall on his way home from work tomorrow.

We are feeling really organized. Well at least for right now. I mean I am sure we are forgetting something, or something won’t go exactally as planed, but we are feeling organized enough to not be worried about anything. I am glad we are as prepared as we possibly could be! Now we can just sit back, say ‘I Do’, and party it up!

The Last of the Paper Assembly

Mom-Ross is picking up our final paper order from Greko tomorrow morning. Then she is going to stop at my house to drop off the paper and the other supplies we are borrowing.

I am going to stop at home on my lunch break tomorrow to help Mom start assembling the paper stuff. Not to give too much away, but we do have to do a bit more assembling for the paper stuff at the ceremony, reception and something else. The something else part needs to be done first, so Mom and continue her journey around town dropping off supplies.

It’s a good thing Mom had some extra vacation days to help Thom and I out. :) And when she told me she was taking all of that time off I thought it was excessive.

The Girls' Hair

I have been getting text messages, emails, picture messages (really any form of communication besides snail mail) for the girls about their hair style.


Some of the girls know exactly how they are going to have their hair done, and some don’t quite know yet. Devin did a mini trial and found the style she likes. Jax has known about her hair style for a bit. Lacey found some pics she likes on-line, but is not 100% sure. Lindsay was going to wear it like she had for a wedding earlier this year, but now she is going to change it up.

I know they will all look beautiful!!!
