Our first post-wedding kiss!

With my Phi Mu sisters!

And with my blood sisters.

Our new family - my sisters, mom, dad, step-dad, MIL, FIL, SIL and her DH and kids! I love how my mom matches the BM color and MIL is in ivory.
They actually blend in so well!

The happy couple and their tiny historic church.

Some pics of us and the Harrisburg Skyline

Our dancing lessons paying off -- and landed us a standing ovation from our shocked family and friends...and this is the first time most guests saw that I dyed my crinoline blue!

And if you want to do it yourself...here's the scoop. My crinoline was nylon and tulle. I used a box of Royal Blue Rit powered dye. I followed the washing machine directions, and did their rinse steps twice just to make sure it wouldn't bleed. And it didn't at all, despite lots of sweating! It was super easy, and a great touch to the day. If you go to www.ritdye.com you can even send them a swatch of fabric and they'll tell you what dye colors to use to match it. Good luck!

The Best Man's toast and our sweetheart table
And instead of a tradional cake...we had this!

Our seating chart directing guests to their table.. Guests had assigned seating with votive placecards at their seats. Below it is a picture of my deceased grandparents with a votive placecard in front of the picture. Off to the right is the top of a memorial candle. Further right, and out of the picture were pictures and placecards for other deceased relatives.

Menu cards

Centerpiece with table camera & camera scavenger hunt tent card

The final table layout before the guests came into the room. The menus, camera tent cards, votice placecards, and the table number all feature our logo. The colors of the centerpiece are designed to match the bouquets. They are filled with runts, and the periwinkle ribbon encircling each tube has "Teri and Jim, September 3, 2005" written on it in silver.

Yes, we did a dollar dance. Here's the MOH with the dough.

My little cousin who caught the garter!

Belting out the lyrics to Livin' On A Prayer!

We had cigars and matchbooks on the bar, all of course personalized with our monogram...and this is a picture of my girl cousins dragging me outside for a celebratory cigar!

Enjoying some fresh air outside.

And the night winds to an end...

Here's to a future of wedded bliss!
