Flower Girl

Lily's Sunday school teachers, Alan and Maureen (Lily just adores them) got married this weekend and Lily had the honor of being their flower girl. She was so excited and nervous, but she did a fabulous job and had lots of fun ;)
I had a good view of the ceremony, but I was sitting in the third row behind lots of tall people, so all the photos had peoples arms and heads in the way. Ugg! I am hoping to get some good copies from them when they get back from their honeymoon in Isreal.

Fools Rush In

This photo was taken by the Lovely and Talented Andrea of SgtandMrsHub .

Here is a link to her wonderful flickr page. For our Anniversary Andrea Blessed us with a fabulous photo shoot back in November @ the place we stayed for our honey moon. It was so gorgeous and romantical and we couldn't be more pleased with how the photos turned out. She is magical! And I can't imagine how I could ever repay her. And if that wasn't enough, one night when I showed up @ her house for a "Girls Night" she surprised me with a huge print of my favorite photo from the shoot. Yeah I cried. Kevin and I got married January 8th, 2005.
This is a totally weird bit of random but cool information, that I just found out today when I stumbled upon a blog I hadn't been to before, Dogwood Cottage. Elvis' Birthday is on January 8th, 1935. "Fools rush in", or "I can't help falling in love" by Elvis, was our wedding song. I first fell in love with the song and surfing, when I saw Blue Hawaii as a teenager. And the song was perfect for Kevin and I, because everyone thought we were fools for getting married after only dating for a few months. But we knew we were in love and we couldn't wait to be together, especially since we had been dating long distance. And here we are five years later, very happy these fools did rush in ;)

Heather and Dan's Green Wedding Weekend Extravaganza Part 1

We arrived @ Heather and Dan's house pretty late thursday evening, after a long hr drive. It was so good to see them, we stayed up and hung out for a while. Then we were ready for bed. To our surprise Heather had turned her livingroom into a bed and breakfast. It was set up all nice and pretty and cozy. She bought new linens and the hugest most comfortable air matress I've ever slept on. It was high off the ground and totally didn't feel like an air matress at all. It fit Kevin, me and the girls and comfortably. We slept so good ;)
Then on Friday morning Heather and Dan treated us to The Friendly Toast in Cambridge, MA. I got the usual, chocolate chip pancakes. It brought back great memories of when Heather and I used to go to The Friendly Toast in Portsmouth, NH back in our college days.

Just look @ the Happy Couple. They are absolutely perfect for each other. God has blessed them both very much. ;)Later on we took Dan out for some lunch @ Spikes while Heather went to the salon and ran some errands. The guys stuffed their faces, the girls enjoyed chicken fingers, fries and onion rings & I ate a hefty Steak & Cheese sub. Yumm! Eden, being silly & letting us know her belly is full and she's all done ;)We definitely didn't have time to shop while we were in Boston, but if we did, I would have loved to stop in here. I took a couple of quick pics as we ran by.

We had to get back to Heather and Dan's house to get ready for the Rehearsal. It was so much fun meeting the wedding coordinator and the photographers. I was very impressed with their creativity & professionalism, yet they were incredibly funny & down to earth. They made us all feel really comfortable. After the rehearsal we went to for the rehearsal dinner. I tell ya, we were spoiled with so much eating out over the course of one weekend it was insane and yummy!

Kate & Tim's Wedding

We went back home to New England for the weekend and It was such a Joyous Trip. My friends Kate & Tim tied the Knot In Maine. I was so excited to be a part of their wedding. Kate and I have been best friends since second grade. And I was the one who introduced Tim and Kate. They make a wonderful couple. I can't wait till they have munchkins. They will be great parents and their kids will be absolutely gorgeous! The Beautiful view the evening before the Big Day!

We brought my new camera, and Kevin took some great photos of the event.

I had the Honor and Privilege of doing a reading For Kate & Tim . They Chose 1 Corinthians 13 . I was so blessed.

I loved the dresses, but @ that moment I was especially happy that Kate chose long bridesmaid gowns, so no one could see my knees knocking. I couldn't look up @ either of them without bawling my eyes out. I am so happy for them. ;)Kate Looks Absolutely Radiant!This is My Favorite photo. The joy in Tim's eyes as he Smiles @ his Gorgeous Bride, is so precious.My wedding partner was Austin, an old friend. I was happy to see him after quite a few years. In fact I got to see so many old faces, it was quite the reunion. All of our lives are so intertwined it's awesome.

The Most Fun Bridal Party Ever! Such a great group of girls! I will treasure this day forever!

My Handsome Hubby Taking a break from snapping pictures, to take a bite of the Hors D'oeuvres. They were delish. Everything was perfect.

Congrats Heather and Dan!

My best friend Heather and Her Fiance Dan Just Won @ Green Boston Wedding. And obviously I am cool by assosiation. lol
But seriously, I love these guys. And they definately deserved to win. Green is not a trend for them, it's a way of life. It's rooted deep in their hearts.
And I get to be the Maid of Honor. Oh yeah baby! That means I get to plan fun surprises for her. And do a speach. Oh no! Wait a minute. A speach! Ahhhh! I can talk all day, but not in front of a crowd. Excuse me while I go settle down these butterflies in my tummy.
