One thing everyone here has in common, is a wedding (or a soon to be wedding!). I personally would like to see your wedding pictures and i'm sure everyone else would too, if you would like to share them! So please post them here and let's have a look at the happy couple - stories would be good too

I got really drunk at my wedding and didn't leave the dance floor once. I seriously had the time of my life. Its so funny that months before I was thinking of canceling it. But having a few of my Canadian friends and family there made it so great.

I think everyone here has seen my thread and I'll put up the professional photographers photos up soon since they are ready. I just have to go pick them up.

Here are a couple of my personal favourites:

We got married in Maui at sunset...I spent most of the ceremony checking out whales jumping around in the water. And the minister decided to put me on the downhill slope of the beach, which makes our other pics look funny, since my wife is 5'11" and I'm only 5'8"!!

we just had a family friend do our pictures for us and he wasn't that great at setting up the shots.. or he might have told us to move so that darn wheel barrow wouldn't have been in the picture

i was a little annoyed with the lady who did the flowers.. I wanted all blue roses with just a few white roses... and then on the day of the wedding when I got the bouquet I saw that she had done more white ones.. my sis-in-law said she had done it like that because it had looked too blue the other way .. um yeah that is what I wanted.. I didn't want the flowers to blend into my dress and we had discussed just tying the ribbon around the flowers with a bow and leaving the green stalks showing but she completely wrapped it o well, it was still a pretty bouquet..

dang, I have this one picture that is one of my favourites but I don't have it on my computer.. it is my 4 brothers and my hubby and they are pretending to beat each other up.. lol I love that pic... I wanted to do more goofy ones but no one wanted to .. my mom wanted to make sure she got all the shots she wanted to get

oh and by the way.. my mommy made my dress .. I always wanted my mom to make my dress .....

You know what's really sad? I haven't even looked at all my wedding photos yet! I have moved twice since the wedding and they are all packed away!!! Here are a few I have on the internet.


Getting my hair right.


Me and my youngest brother


Me freaking out


My husband, Jared, and I

Those are awesome, everybody. Just look at all the hotties! Marilyn, I actually like the wheel barrow in the picture. But it can always be photoshopped.

Really these are great!! So krikit, where are yours hmmm? We don't have any as we had a civil ceremony and the Daughter of the officiant just took some photos, which she promptly lost (can't remember if she lost the camera or the film).

Alas, I have the same story. We took a disposable camera with us and the officiant took the pics during the ceremony. (Civil wedding.) When they were developed they didn't turn out. Then I realized that my husband had packed that camera in his suitcase so it got zapped during the x-ray process. (Cameras should never go in checked luggage.... the x-ray machine is much stronger than the hand luggage x-ray machine.) We keep meaning to have them redone by a photographer but we just never seem to get around to it.

Don't feel bad. My husband and I got married in August 2004. We finally actually put all our wedding pictures in a presentable album in January 2008. Before they were just a stack of photos in a ziploc bag. What was amusing was that we saw absolutely no couples that were together in the pictures that are still together now except for us. For fun, here is one of the pictures I have from the third day of our wedding. The map my husband is holding was blown out of a cannon.



The resulting treasure:



All of you guy's wedding pictures are really nice!

That looks like a lot of fun, Wacken! But... uhhhh.... the THIRD day of your wedding? I didn't even want a first!

We had another couple take one of us when we were finished and we took one of them before they went in.

Some of my favourite pictures are already in my photo section I can't figure out how to link ones I have on flickr.

You know.... I really should check that photo section once in a while. I had no idea you were in there, Cassie! You are right.... they are lovely pictures. Thanks for yours too, Leafgal! Gosh, it's so nice to see everybody!

Well it is always nice to put a face to a name. Thanks everyone the pictures are all great.

In Germany, the only legal weddings are ones performed at the Standesamt. The Standesamt is a governmental body and being such, you generally had to have your wedding on a business day during business hours. Out of blue, we decided to do it on a Thursday. Naturally, not everyone could show up on a Thursday in the middle of the morning, so we created an event on Saturday that everyone could attend. On Friday, it was kind of a large family reunion for my husband's family (unfortunately, none of mine could afford the trip). On Saturday, we had the reception you see above which was open to all friends and family. It lasted from 6pm-5am. We were kind of nervous about if people would actually show up in costume, but everyone did and showed up ready to party. I don't think I could have asked for a better wedding, all and all.

That is AWESOME.

Indeed! everyone has such beautiful pictures

Oh, man... I can't decide which ones to post...

Ok, this is crappy. I can't edit my post because it says I "do not have permission to edit that message". Just click the links to see my photos, I guess.

Wacken, the shirt your husband is wearing is almost identical to the one P will wear for our medieval wedding! I love it
We're doing a sort of long wedding too. We're having a Polterabend 2 days before (because the day before is my son's birthday) then the wedding, which will be small, 45 guests, and then the day after we are going to the local Renaissance Fair with our families and friends.

I love everyone's pictures and I promise to post some after August 1st

Wow. What a beautiful setting, Necrotica.



OMG, I had the BEST time at the local Renaissance fair in Ontario! And my sister had a medieval wedding too! Only hers was in a castle in Ireland.... in Galway. She hired a coach for all of us to travel from England to Ireland and back. We stayed for almost a week and the bus driver took us all sightseeing in between. He brought his wife and they came to the wedding too. They were a hoot. I had soooooooooo much fun! Being single in Dublin was the BEST!

Hmmm. I wonder if I have any pics of her wedding on this computer? I'll check!

I like the shirt too. I think we got it from some wool products street vendor in Oldenburg about two weeks before the wedding.

I look forward to seeing the pics, though I think we all understand if you are a little late in posting them.



I agree! Thanks for sharing!

Here you go Necrotica! It really is a beautiful setting, where did you get married?

I love that all of these weddings are so different too

everyone's photos are so nice! Makes me almost want to get married again - almost.

Necrotica, your dress was beautiful!

All the pictures are beautiful!!
Here are a couple of ours, since we have not received all of them from the photographer... including the ones in the church
after I messed up and said "I Stephen" instead of " I Rena" lol couldn't stop laughing after that but it did break the ice!!!

Ah my files seem to be to large to upload...

Necrotica, your dress is so lovely and you both look so happy! It makes me smile to see such happy wedding pictures.

I hope these come out, they're from my flickr account.

Trailmix, where are your photos?

awe LadyJane, those are wonderful. I love your dress!

I agree. Gorgeous. Lady Jane, yours too!!!

I'm getting all excited looking at all of these pictures and to think I just wanted to go to the JOP and forget the hoopla

Those are lovely!

We don't have any - the person who took them lost the film, or the whole camera, can't remember

Oh more pictures they are all great. Keep them coming everyone.

Here are some of our pictures....again if any of you are getting married in Florida, we would love to recommend our photographer!

All of this was in Key West Florida! =)

I love how everyone's weddings are completely different making them so unique....I wish I had the time where my Mom could have made my dress...I think that's a really nice personal touch...

Absolutely stunning T.O., you two look so happy and your dress is so lovely!! Excellent photographer too

T.O_2_FL those are amazing photo's. I really like the first one.

These are some great photos! Keep 'em coming!

Oh my GOD, T.O.! Those pictures are AMAZING! And your ring bearer's so adorable! Do you have a website for your photographer?

This is her webiste Gina Carter Photography

She is awesome and sooooo friendly....she also did our engagement photos....

Thank you everyone! We tried to skimp and budget on everything else but the photography since we wanted awesome photos as those would hopefully last us a lifetime. We had debated over videography and photography for our wedding. Final consensus was that we would scrape the video and just get the best photographer that we could afford. I'm so glad we did it. I was apprehensive at first but after seeing her work it was well worth it.

Krikit - Gina is really wonderful and accomodating too incase you decide to use her services.

Here's mine from May 12 2007

Tieing the knot

Kissing pic

Awe....I love seeing pictures where you can see how the couple is truly gazing into each other's souls....so romantic....

Leon and I got married in Melbourne Australia. We got married at the registry. It rained that day but it didn't dampen our spirits! I was a wonderful day.

We had a small simple wedding. We wrote our own vows and my husband made my bouquet for me that morning with fresh flowers he picked out at the local market.

Ok, I am bound and determined to figure out how to post pics from flickr, so here goes:
YAY I GOT IT! LOL

that does it! The two of you need to have a double vow-renewal ceremony and all of us will come and Carla and Marilyn and Kathryn will cater and flames will bring the Timmie's and Spirit will perform the ceremony and Mumsie will be the Emcee at the reception and the rest of us will take pics!!

wow Cassie those photos are amazing!

Beautiful, TO.

And Cassie, wow! Where did you two get married?

Mephys, you look so happy in that kissie pic.

I want to get married NOW! Ok, I suppose waiting for P would make more sense...

thanks!

Mephys and jodee both do

We got married at Southern Belle Mansion here in Tulsa (actually Broken Arrow) -- it's a beautiful beautiful place indoors and out. My hubby did good in finding that one!

ill just describe..

i might be the simpliest bride and the ugliest lol i had no make up on and just wore a pink blouse and a pair of slacks
