How we wed

 Shawn and I wed on December 4, 2009. It was a small ceremony.We had a reception on November 5, 2010, coinciding with a near one year anniversary. It just felt right, and that's how we do it.
 
 The ceremony was not a pictorially memorable, as I was sobbing the whole time! We have it on video, which you will be able to see at some point. The pictures, however, do not tell the story! I was so overcome with emotion that my face was contorted and tears were streaming down my face. Shawn was perfectly calm and attentive! Looking at the pictures, we had a good laugh because it looked like I was in pain. I really did want to get married I promise! Ok, just one photo:


This one will do!

We  simply are elated to be married. We had the most wonderful and relaxing weekend with family and friends! We feel so calm, supported, loved and blessed. A big Thanks to everyone that has helped make this experience more meaningful than we could have ever imagined!
