Thank you to everyone for the wonderful wedding wishes! It was a great day, and the rain held off so we could get pictures outside, although it ended up raining the whole week, so the ground was mushy and it was cold, so the actual ceremony was indoors. Everyone had a blast and I got lots of comments on how people loved that books were everywhere! Here's some early pictures-I'll post more when I get them!
It was a pretty geeky day-the ring "bear" wore a Chicago Bears jersey and carried a Star Trek teddy bear and roared down the asile! The boys shuffled down to the Superbowl Shuffle. I walked down the asile to Hedwig's Theme. :)We started the ceremony off with "mawwage...", my dad said "Make it So" when he asked if he could give me away, the ring ceremony was a re-written version of the Lord of the Rings "one ring to rule them all" speech, we ended with "may you live long and prosper." Full of geektastic fun!!!
The centerpeices were buckets that had pages from books and black and white pictures from tissue paper on them, filled with our bookmark favors. The flowers were made from book pages and ribbons. (Mine was made from Danny and the Dinosaur, the first book I read as a kid.) Our guest
books were our favorite books placed on each table for guests to sign-these were a blast to read through!
Congrats! I am really excited for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! The pictures are gorgeous (and tiny! *nudge!* *G*)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Agree w/ Lisa! Pics are small. :)
ReplyDeleteYou decided not to go with purple hair for the wedding?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm going to add my wishes to those clamoring for BIGGER pics! Your centerpieces and favors sound great, but I can hardly see them.
It must have taken forever to make those flowers. did you do it yourself?
Congratulations, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! You have an award! Come check out my blog! dontlosemyplace.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I, too, would like to see some bigger pics :-) Sounds like such a fun day!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Yes I too would love to see larger versions!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some bigger pictures, too, but judging from the small pics and descriptions up here, your wedding sounds perfect. I love all the cute personal touches, like the book-page bouquets and the ring-BEAR. That is too adorable! Congratulations, Sarah! (:
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! :)
ReplyDeletecongrats! it sounds like such an awesome day and I love the pics. can't wait to see more
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! It sounds like such a wonderful day and truly personal. That's exactly as it should be too. It's your day and it should be all of your favorite things. We had many personal touches for our wedding (we saved lots of money too!) but now 22 years later I think I would have used even more. I can't wait to see more photos of your day. I wish you many years of love and happiness!
ReplyDeleteI fixed the pictures! More to come soon!:)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! Congratulations! I love all the "geeky" details. It makes me not feel so silly about dressing up as Star Trek characters with my husband when we go to the movie this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go check the second set of pictures now. :)
Congrats!! It looks like an awesome time was had by all. Best wishes!!
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting for the pictures, can't wait to chat on the 16th.. Congrats and good to have you back

Sarah, Congratulations to you.
ReplyDeleteA marriage of two
ReplyDeleteA marriage of two
is for love that is true
A marriage of two
is always something new
A marriage of two
happens sometimes out of the blue
A marriage of two
is worth it when its due
A marriage of two
is a marriage of trust
Many can find themselves lost
It can be an expensive cost
They are only very few
who have a clue
of when love accrues
A marriage of two
is about love making
It is not about
money raking
A marriage of two
can be bad
A marriage of two
can be sad
You should only be glad if
A marriage of two
is for love that is true

Congratulations! The pictures are awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations (and never think you can post too many pictures). I love the shoes and book favours.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are too cute! I just got married last year so I've still got lots of wedding memories on the brain. Sigh. You look so happy, and I love your bouquet! Live long and prosper, Sarah the Newly-Married Green Bean Teen Queen!
