Wedding Photos
[Home]

Actually, these are pre-wedding photos, taken mostly in the bridal room by either myself or the bridesmaids or other various family members. Some were taken of guests before the wedding, as well. For pictures of the bridesmaids in the days before the wedding, click here. For photos of the bridal shower, click here. For honeymoon photos (don't let your mind fall into the gutter), click here.

Candice again.

You can probably identify all the bridesmaids by now. :)

Us again. You can see Ralph, the photographer, reflected in the mirror.

 Time to put the veil in!

It stayed this curly just exactly long enough to get down the aisle, and that was _it_!

I started crying once I got the veil in place.

 The most beautiful flower girl in the world. She later caught the bouquet, by the way.

Our moms; Mike's mom Pauline, and my mom hiding behind her.

 I know there are lots of pictures of me sitting on my butt doing nothing, but that's because I went through THREE HOURS of hairstyling. Don't believe me? Read about it.

She's really not mad at me (looks like she's sneering) -- she's pinning my petticoat together, and has pins in her mouth.

After wriggling into underwear, petticoat, dress, and train. Harder than it sounds, really.

 This was the officiant, Reverend Eakin.

Nancy, putting my necklace on me.

 Poke, prod...
