Midway into makeup and hair...

My hubby lookin' HOT before the wedding.

Cutest thing ever.

Best bridesmaids ever. Seriously without these girl the wedding would have been a disaster. Sadly I am not exaggerating. These girls were ON it when I was like "Dude, whatever it'll be fine." And it was. But you know, only because they were paying attention to things like how many outlets the restaurant actually had in close proximity to the sound equipment and other various easily-overlooked but nevertheless very important details...

Post-ceremony.

Hee.

Trying to be "hot." (Can you be a hot married couple?)

My girls.

Hahaha.

We just had to.

It's alive!

*Wave* Hello. We survived. Just barely. The days running up to the wedding involved a lot of me saying, "Uh...I don't know, we'll just do whatever!" And a lot of exasperated hand-wringing from pretty much everyone else remotely involved in the wedding.

But (mainly due to the exasperated hand-wringing people) everything came out so much better than I expected and I honestly feel like most people had fun.

So, if you were invited and chose not to come for whatever reason...you missed out! There aren't any pictures yet but I'm pretty sure that between our (two) photographers we will end up with at least 2,000+ pictures.

I also discovered that beyond having a lot of people around you who are determined to WILL an awesome wedding into existence (bridesmaids + Henry aka "best wedding coordinator ever") a gorgeous backdrop (i.e. Pacific ocean crashing in the background + some dolphins frolicking about) is an instant solution to a total lack of planning.

Off the top of my head here are my favorite parts of our wedding:

1. Paul and the groomsmen walking down the aisle to the Vitamin String Quartet version of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." I don't know if any of the older guests got it but we heard laughing from the younger half of the crowd.

2. Jonathan (17 mos) and Natalie (3 1/2 yrs) both made it all the way down the aisle. Jonathan even went most of the way with the ring pillow! (Don't worry the rings themselves were with the best man).

3. Taking pictures on the beach.

4. The flowers! Who needs a florist when your best friend is Helen?

5. The groom/groomsmen's sandals. Yes, sandals. On their feet. Paul got a pedicure and everything.

6. That Natalie (flower girl) and Christina (4yrs) caught the bouquet. Total photo-op.

7. That one of our photographers actually came to the after party at Garden of Eden. Have I mentioned yet how much our photographer rocked? If you are getting married in Southern California/Los Angeles and want the best wedding photographer money can buy (and surprisingly he is not over-priced at all) definitely check out Scott Reynolds. Everyone kept commenting all day/night about how good he was. He stayed with us from 9:00am until after midnight.

I'll go into more detail once we get our pictures back!
