Officially married!

Contributor: Cookie Monster Mike Cookie Monster Mike
Well for anyone who had previously read my other discussion about the fact that I was getting married I wanted to announce that everyone went smoothly and we are now officially married!

We were worried that it may be a really hot and uncomfortable day out because for the longest time we had that heat wave. But the weather turned out phenomenally with blue skies, temp's in the 70's and a nice breeze. The day started out with lots of photo's being taken before the ceremony.

One thing I can say is, I did not enjoy being a part of the spot light (not usually my thing) and having about 7 cameras all pointing at you made me feel as if the paparazzi were after me. Then came our very nicely done, but short and sweet ceremony. From start to finish it was maybe 15 minutes, no nonsense of standing there for an hour.

From there we had our reception at the building her sister owns that was used in the movie Public Enemies for a few scenes. I can say that almost a full day of wedding stuff and thousands of pictures later, plus more dancing that I care not to do again, I still had a great time and so did my wife.

There was really no drama, stress, fights, drunks or wedding crashers. Everything went smoothly, even better, during the wedding day and many months of planning, my wife was never a "bridezilla".

Okay now I will share a couple pictures (not ready to show my face sorry )

First off, a picture of what I was wearing, the shirt I have is actually an ivory color, but in the lighting it looks white.

Self-explanatory

Our rings together.

Caaaakkkeeee!

Lol thank you everyone. It's rare that I wear fancy clothes, even more so with that outfit I had. But it felt good for the occasion.

Going for her garter during the reception using only my mouth was quite fun lol.

I've always thought that was such an awkward tradition, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for all the great comments, the main colors in the wedding were obviously pink and ivory, but also some greens and silvers/grey's. The whole theme just turned out great, much better than I expected.

Funny thing also is with cake toppers. I could not believe the ridiculous prices of these, in almost all cases, $20-$300 for a topper? Found ours I think for $1 haha.

Oh and @Stormy---I didn't even know there was going to be a garter event at all. It was last minute and kind of put onto me, made me feel slightly awkward. But in the end it was pretty fun I guess.

Let's just say though we have had a lot of time off work and spending it together, lots of naughty fun too lol.
