The UnPlanned Greeting Line

After the ceremony and our surprise first dance, I pulled Mr. S to the front of the Lodge so that we could have a few minutes together.  He thought I was nuts, but I was adament that we needed to do this since so many other brides on WeddingBee had said this was something they really cherished.

Mr. Snowflake's Surprise

After we kissed and turned to walk down the aisle, we had no music.  That was weird, I had given the band the disc and they had tested it before the wedding.  Oh well, I shrugged it off, all our guests laughed and we walked down the aisle music-less.

Our Wedding Ceremony

It was finally time...
Mr. S took his grandparents to their seat and then he and our officiant waited at the front.

The band started playing the CD I burned with Norah Jones singing "Love Me Tender".

Killing Time

Once the pictures were over, all there was left was to get the bar opened and kill time before the wedding.
Some people played...

All of the family

The majority of our wedding guests were family, so of course we had to take pictures with these wonderful people that have supported us all of our lives.  Sadly, there was one side missing which was Mr. S's mom's side.  Her wonderful brother and his wife did attend and we're so thankful that they did.
First up, my side...

Cute Candids

As we were taking pictures, the photographer also caught some cute candids.

Yikes, Little Miss S is T-R-O-U-B-L-E...Look at that cute smile :)

Don't forget your deodorent and perfume ladies...I forgot and realized it halfway through pictures.  Oh well.

Okay, enough cuteness from you two...

What were some of your favorite candid pictures?

"Bridal" Party Pictures

As you know, we didn't have a traditional bridal party.  Mr. S decided that he didn't want anyone standing up there with him, but I really wanted my sister and sister in law to have a role in the day.
First up, pictures with my ladies...

As we were completeing these we had to run off another bridal party that was trying to get shots at our location.  Sorry to be a b*tch, but the beauty of the place is why I PAID to rent the place.  They were upset when we told them they needed to go farther down in the park to get their pictures.  Oh well.

Anyone else have picture-crashers at your ceremony/reception site?
