The wedding was all that I could have hoped it would be and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Everyone we’ve talked to said they had a great time and I’m happy for that. It would have been nice to eat a little, I heard the food was great. We were much too busy talking and having a great time.

As generally expected, the ceremony started late but no one seemed to mind. We had the ceremony at a state park and the weather was nice, if a little warm. It could have been much later because the gate leading to where I was planning on entering was locked. My bridesmaids and I were driven up to the gate and then…well, no time to find a ranger to unlock it. ‘Get out girls, we’re going over it.’

That statement met with much, ‘No way, you’ll rip your dress,’ and ‘You can’t climb a fence in your wedding dress!’ My response, ‘Watch me.’

In the end we didn’t go over it but instead went through the barbed wire. I only wish the photographer was there for that. All dressed up, climbing through a fence and hiking across a huge dirt lot, me, trailed by my bridesmaids. It was certainly a sight to see.

Beyond that little hiccup everything went smoothly and it was a wonderful day. I was hoping to have pictures to post but they aren’t ready yet. There are a ton from the honeymoon though. Having the new camera was so much fun and I shot over 1000 pictures. I’m still going through them all and will drop that number by more than half easily.

Since I’ve been gone so long I have quite a bit of catching up to do in the blog world. Some of you have been very busy. Time for me to get busy reading.
