OhmygodI'msorryforthelackofposting!

Got overwhelmed by other things and neglected our poor wedding blog!
I am thinking that I will likely stop blogging here, and just relegate anything that I WOULD post here onto my other blog, which honestly sees a little more action.

You can go there by clicking here

But I was going through the gallery from our photographer and just loving every single shot so I thought I might try to get them up here for you to peruse too.

And no. I can't.

Okay so I am thinking then that I will need the disc we got of the images...

Will have to work on that!

But until then, please pop over to MaevEden to see the post SHE did for us and the beautful slideshow she put together for us.

I get all sappy every time I watch it!

Halibut a la Jamie Oliver

So last night for the first time in my life (that I can remember, apparently when I was a small child I enjoyed fish sticks. ugh!) I ate and enjoyed a fish meal.

That's right, I said it.

I ate fish. And liked it.

It was sort of like this recipe from Jamie at Home (which is AMAZING by the way, go out and get it right now)

This cook book is so awesome. EVERYTHING that we have tried from it has been delicious.
Seriously delicious.

And last night's meal also allowed me to use the heart shaped Le Crueset roaster we got for the wedding.
This guy.


Anyway, it was basically White Fish roasted with bacon (god yes!) leeks and asparagus.
Delish!

And. This. Is. The. Thing.

I will eat it again.

I am reformed.

random randomness (Who called the Hot Cops?)

It doesn't help that we get mustaches involved.
(and pirates?)




Sunny days+these girls= Jump Competition.




Sandra won the first day with "The Flying Star"

(Kathryn stole the title after the wedding with "The Raging Lion"!)

Looking back on the day, it feels like a complete blur. It was so amazing, and so perfect for us, that it's been kind of hard to capture in pictures.
I will try. Really.

And it happened so fast! The day after, we were both up super early (like before 7am) and everything was cleared from the yard by noon. Like it had never happened.

So that now when I look at my hand (and more so when I look at Geoff's) and see the ring I am still sometimes surprised. Like, did that really happen?

We went for plain and simple with our wedding bands.
I had made another band for myself that was really beautiful, but it just wasn't right.
So in the end (two weeks before the wedding) I decided to make another one. The same as Geoff's. Which I am very happy with.

MeavEden Photography

Zoe Olson is an amazing photographer. I met her through FGI and immediately fell in love with her images and emailed her to see if she was available to shoot the wedding.
We weren't even going to have a photographer.

She is so worth it.






Please go to her blog to see more of her work (including more pics from our wedding) and a slide show that makes me tear up every time I watch it.

Thank you Zoe!

Just some pics

My brain is not capable of putting together a coherent sentence today, so I am just going to post some pictures and then go back to thinking about what I am going to eat for dinner and sorting through the GIANT pile of laundry that is heckling me from the other room.

That pile of laundry is an a-hole.

I feel like I should document the weeks leading up to the wedding in chronological order.

But I am not going to.
Sorry.

You are just going to have to try to follow along!

My gorgeous and amazing friends Sandra and Laura flew in for the week before the wedding to help and generally make my life hilarious for a little while before hand.
And it was the perfect thing.
You will all be seeing pictures of them in various stages of undress (we spent a lot of time on the dock and in the water. It was HOT) and costumes.
We are all photobooth enthusiasts and we can't seem to be in front of a camera together without making a ridiculous face and we took pictures ALL WEEK.
I don't think that I have laughed this hard since NSCAD.

When we were in photobooths instead of working on whatever assignment we should have been.

Anyway, I digress.
Today I am going to talk about setting up.
We rented tables and chairs from a local catering company and set up and decorated ourselves, which again was really great.


I honestly didn't mean to set off the domino chairs, but I totally did.
Twice.


And at the end of the day Sandra and Lauras had tied big white bows to alternating chairs down the aisle too which was so cute.
(I am not seeing pictures with the bows at the moment, but I will keep looking)

You may have noticed that this EXACT SAME POST is on Janamade This.
Well, deal with it. (is that rude?)
I am enticing non family members to check out how amazing the wedding was.
I really loved seeing what other people did for their weddings while I was planning ours and I just thought that it is nice to share.
I am going to try to keep all of the wedding related stuff here!
