Well time to move on to more wedding stuff. Hope you don't mind. :)
We took pictures before the ceremony when the light was better. But we were adamant that we didn't want to see each other before hand (seemed to defeat half the purpose though people thought it was odd since we've lived together for 2 years). Anyway, forgive a few narcissistic shots....
My thrifty side is happy that I managed to get this dress second hand and, with alterations, cost about $500. Thank you Canada (that is where I bought it from though I suspect she bought it in the U.S.) I was also happy to buy it second hand because nearly every dress I found was made in China. We wanted to do a no-China wedding. In the end my shoes came from China, but otherwise, we were successful.
There were also fun snaps with the family
One of my all time favorite pictures of my parents
My (twin) brother who saved the day by running back and getting all the boutonnieres!
And then the boys got to glam it up...
My sexy, handsome man...
This is when I got nervous....
The moment that Partner saw me.... he said I looked like a Celtic Princess! Success!
We married in a circle under a willow across a small creek from our friends and family...
We wrote our own vows. This is when I started to cry....
My ring...
We also did a handfasting...
And then, just before sunset, we were there.
Mr. and Mrs. Rocky Cole
Picking music for different parts of the day was so hard. This was one of the more difficult. This isn't a song that had any meaning for us before, but seemed to capture so well what this day meant to us. We walked out to Joshua Radin's Brand New Day
oh kathy, i love every single one of these photos... but the last one is just perfect!!

It looks like a perfect day! You looked beautiful (and Rocky looked dapper himself!). I didn't know you had a twin brother...very nice shots of your family.
