L & R

Oh my goodness, it has been forever since I used this blog. And now I'm going to upload some wedding photos! L & R were married this weekend, and the wedding was amazing. As you can see. I took a bazillion pictures for Asherlie, who couldn't be there. So Asherlie, this post is for you. Click on a picture to see it full-sized. It's possible they'll be enormous when you do, though. Just warning you.

Walking along the Strand.

Posing on the Strand.

The Elissa, two nights before the wedding!

L cooking us breakfast like a warrior.

R & L being cute during lunch on the Strand.

S & L being cute while we wait to start the wedding rehearsal.

After the wedding rehearsal, L was describing something in a cute way.

On our way to the rehearsal dinner.

Before the rehearsal dinner, we took a short train ride.

The rehearsal dinner was in an old train car. Pretty cute!

S was my dinner buddy!

L & R being cute.

And some more.

The morning of the wedding, we went to a nail salon.

This is Em! I WANT TO KEEP HER (and her husband).

Artsy self-portrait I guess.

L was smiling when this picture was taken; her reflection, on the other hand, suggests demonic possession.

L's class ring.

L's engagement ring.

The reception hall had a pretty interesting wall I guess?

The Elissa, just before we started decorating it.

A plaque aboard the ship.

Further proof it was the Elissa.

The priest and the bagpipe player.

It's a bell.

Waiting for guests to arrive.

Ropes!

More ropes! And chairs!

K relaxing on the ship.

He offered to go ahead and play a light air while the guests arrived.

And he did.

And I got goosebumps.

L arrived in pajamas, and we put her in her dress below deck.

L's niece, A, was the most beautiful/adorable flower girl in the world.

L's nephew, G, was supposed to be the ring bearer, but he got grumpy at the last minute.
(While I was with L below deck, Em had my camera. She took the pictures of the actual ceremony.)

R and his best man, J, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Guests!

The bridal party, plus a friend.

Mother of the bride!

The ceremony started!

L was escorted down the aisle by her mom. It started to sprinkle as K and I walked down the aisle, but it stopped just as (or before?) L stepped onto the deck.

Ceremony!

Ceremony!

Ceremony!

Ceremony!

Ceremony!

Em and her husband J. <3

L's family.

I lingered on deck while the guests went on to the reception hall. Behind the scenes of the final bridal shoot!

I took tons of pictures of the photographer taking pictures.

L was gorgeous, needless to say.

Everyone was in need of some liquid once we all sat down.

L's bouquet and one of the fans, which was attached to the program.

The priest signing the marriage license. They're official!

R kissing L's shoulder before she cuts the cake. Sooo cute.

Feeding each other cake.

Then I followed L into the bathroom.

L threw the bouquet! Em and K made me stand up despite my engagement ring.

R & L on their way to their wedding night destination!
