Professional Photos by Kim Thibodeau Photography (film, not digital-so they are scanned but she did a perfect job)!
Setting up-
 
I start out looking normal, but see what a wedding day will do to you! This is my great stylist Rhonda, who made the trip with me.
 
Just waiting to get ready! And then with the rose Darren sent up before the ceremony.
Me and my hoodie, of course.
I thought this was neat how you can see all the girls!
 
Trish (ldburns2b) helping me get dressed.
 
I had just recorded a message to Darren on the video and of course, I CRIED!
 
My mother and I and then with Trish.
 
My reception slippers, my bag and my garter my mother made with my grandmothers wedding bands sewn in.
 
The programs and tent all ready to go.
 
The tables are ready -
 
Aisle flowers and then flowers up front.
 
Our table set, you can see how the punch was used for meal identification.
 
Just before I walked out, I am watching everyone go down the aisle and I see Darren waiting!
 
Getting ready to give my ring to my sister and have her walk out! I just LOVE this for some reason!
Here we go-
Darren seeing me.
 
He was so sweet here!
 
Here we go- I am glad we decided to walk down the aisle together- so please excuse my silly expression.
 
During vows.
Trish giving her reading.
 
Rings.
 
A sweet moment for me!
The final moment.
 
I just love how he is looking at me.
 
Formal shot.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With our niece.
 
My sister with our niece Ella and me with my dad.
 
My mom with Ella. During our first dance.
 
We call this the 'polictical shot'. Then Darren with dear friends.
 
Having a great time with my husband.
 
Of course, dancing with our niece.
 
I love both of these - the table is neat with both of our chairs just "waiting" for us with my wrap and his coat. Too funny. And then the one of my Mom, sister and myself is just so "US" ( I truly love this shot)
 
Great table shot and platter.
Watercolor made of one of my favorites!!!
 
Getting ready to run.... and then getting showered with lavendar.
 
See you later!
Bye, Bye!
"Sweet"
This is our stamps for our thank you notes- stamp comes on the right side next to pic!
Non-Professional Photos by my sister (who I have to say did a lovely job)!!!!!
 
Us at the rehearsal and most of our wedding party at the rehearsal.
 
Me looking out and seeing Darren downstairs! My bouquet and invitation.
 
This is how it looked all decorated with flowers, garland, and runner.
The gates into the Cottage.
 
This is the view from my window of the ceremony area! The wind was getting the best of my sashes! And of course the seating chart.
 
Just us and a candid by our friend!!!
The "Wow- I am really married" picture!
With my sister.
 
My lovely parents and then Darren's wonderful parents.
My sister.
The tables close-up.
Our cake- the blue was a shade darker than you see here! It tasted so fantastic- A++++ Incredible Edibles!!
 
Our 1st dance- you can not say I was not having fun!!! I have no idea what I am laughing at?? You can see my brooch well.
Us at our 'sweetheart' table. Best thing ever!
Just a quick one of us!
Honeymoon Pictures!!!!!
 
When we first arrived in Mykonos - talk about beautiful!!!
 
From our hotel in Mykonos
 
From the water and then the windmills of course - sails will not be placed on windmills for another week when the "season" comes in.
 
On the island of Delos- mythical birthplace of the god Apollo. Then next picture is coming into Santorini
 
The hotel in Santorini and then us at one of the highest points in Santorini.
One of the most famous pictures in Santorini that we took ourselves- I think it turned out just lovely!!
Us being silly!
 
The black sand beach and the red sand beach in Santorini.
 
You can see how the water changes color near the active portion of the volcano due to sulpher. And of course, me waving like a maniac in the "center" of the volcano.
This is the world famous, well photographed sunset from the town of Oia - we got a lucky seat and were two people of about 1000 standing and sitting around watching. It was just our luck to get this table at the 'windmill' bar.
The windmill was actually an outside bar! So neat :-)
Pic from the restaurant on our last evening there.
And of course- Athens and the Acropolis. More Athens pics to come.......
All the Planning Stuff!!!!!
Darren and I the evening we got engaged at Biltmore Inn. I know the red nose looks terrible, but I had been crying, what is a girl to do??? :-)
This is how I received my ring! He always gives me Godiva chocolate for any special occasion, so this fit well!
Us at our shower!
Us with Darren's parents.
This is the Biltmore Inn. A wonderful place - highly recommened for anyone looking for the most romantic and enchanting experience. The view is breathtaking!!
Let's Plan a Wedding!!!!!
 
Rough idea of how tables will be set – and the monogrammed chair sashes.
My handkercheifs that will be filled with lavendar and message to throw when we leave and "wave" us off.
My runner is complete!
The robin's eggs that will be in each nest!
 
Guest Favors tied with blue ribbon, not white. And then our finished favors.
Using Cow, Pig, and Fish punches on seating cards so that servers will know what each guest is eating without having to "auction off" food at the table!!
 
Cards to go on Godiva favors. And our signature platter from Mad Platter, SC
Glass mongrammed vase that bouquet will be in at our table for dinner.
My vintage mongrammed hankie for the ceremony!
 
Each letter will be covered in flowers and hung by ribbon on the gates coming into the gardens! And then the finished letter.

You are Scarlett O'Hara. You are beautiful,
stubborn and despise the silly rules of
society. When times get rough, you are strong
enough to survive, although you would rather
save yourself than anyone else.

There ain't no such thing as "lunch." There's "dinner" and then there's "supper."
Sweet tea is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when you're two. "Backards and forwards" means, "I know everything about you."
There is a Dairy Queen in every town with a population of 1000 of more, except for Orangeburg which has Dairy-O.
You know that going "barefootin" is one of the great joys of life
You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
"Vacation" means going to Myrtle Beach.
Out of state friends beg you to send them fireworks
You know at least three places to get great fried chicken
You've taken a road trip to South of the Border - and it wasn't Mexico
You buy your groceries at Winn-Dixie
You know someone who works at Hooters
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from South Carolina.
