About our wedding:





Wedding Pictures!

Yes, we got married the day Harry Potter came out, and yes, the girls and I went to B&N to pick up our books before heading to the church (but after getting our hair done.



The guys getting ready.



The dresses are waiting!



DH and his family. There are no pictures of my family yet, but we’re working on finding those!



Buttoning up the dress.



It’s almost time!



DH walking down!



Our super cute flower girl!



Me walking down.



All the girls.



I really like this one. I started crying during my vows, so DH held my hand.



The kiss!



The whole bridal party.



All the girls! (And a good shot of the flowers!)







Cleavage shot!



Our beautiful cake, from Queen of Cakes in Edina.



How many girls does it take to tie up a 17 point bustle?



A very nice close up of the cake detail….it matches my dress.



The place cards. Green for chicken!



The sign outside.



Best man’s toast. He got a little choked up, and so did I!



My sister’s (MOH) toast.



Yeah, we had to kiss, so we made it fun!



Our first dance.





Honeymoon Pictures!

Me in front of the cottage we stayed at in Kilmuckridge.


The rental car with the steering wheel on the wrong side.


DH on the beach in Ireland. The water in the background is the Irish Sea. And yes, he’s wearing a sweater.


Me in front of Johnstown Castle.


Peacock at Johnstown Castle Gardens.


DH & I in front of Blarney Castle.


DH after kissing the Blarney stone. I’m not that crazy!


View from the top of Blarney Castle.


Me about to throw back a shot at the Jameson Distillery.


Immortalized at T&H Doolan’s in downtown Waterford.


Tintern Abbey, originally built in the 12th Century.


Our room at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel in Clifden, Galway.


Abbeyglen Castle hotel. Our room is on the third floor in the rounded section.


DH & I on the Ellis Wood trail at Connemarra National Park. There’s a waterfall behind us but you can’t really see it.


Me on the street in Temple Bar in Dublin.


O’Connell Street in Dublin.




Engagement Pictures!




This is one of my favorites. It almost looks like we were digitally added!






Dress pictures!

Me, in my dress! Yay!


Trying to figure out a bustle


Close up of bodice detail


Back view - the buttons go all the way to the end of the train.


One more picture - my bra is showing because it still needs to be taken in!


Here's the dress with the flowers added on the front. The company forgot to send them at first!


At the next fitting, I tried on everything! My mom loved the full effect!


You can see what the bustle will look like in this one. I think it's only half pinned, but you get the idea!




Honeymoon in Ireland!

This is one of the places we are staying on our HM. It is a cottage in County Wexford, Ireland, that we are renting for a week (we'll only get to be there five days). This is the beach that is right outside the cottage. (From www.wexfordholidayhomes.ie)




One of the bedrooms.




We are also spending two nights in Galway, at a hotel that is a converted castle. (pictures from www.abbeyglen.ie)




I hope we stay in a room similar to this...








And the night before we fly back to Minnesota, we're spending the night in a converted manor house in the northern part of Dublin.
