and Eza keeps reminding me she hasn't seen any pictures. I don't have many - these are just ones I grabbed from Facebook. There will be more once the photographer gets back to us and a couple of friends who are damn good photographers will hopefully get stuff to me too.

But for now...

Oh, you look LOVELY! That is a fabulous dress, and Derek looks so dignified. I do love a man in a suit. Thank you for posting! I knew you would be radiant, and you are.

Is that a tiara you're wearing!? It's stunning.

Derek did look awesome. He liked how the suit made him look skinnier - same reason I liked my dress. :)

The headpiece is actually a headband. Instead of putting it flat to my head they put it into the bouffant at the back so it looked more upright. I borrowed it from my sister in law - she has excellent taste. She's the tall blond with my side of the family.

Oh, the one in ice blue? That was a pretty dress, too, but yours was incredible.

Hee, I just saw this comment now. No, the one in blue is my mother. Cheryl was the blonde bridesmaid in black.

Hey, that's the Chinese pictograph for "double happiness" on your wedding cake! (It's the only character I know - I used to coordinate weddings in San Francisco, and 99% of them were Chinese.)

Our baker moulded it by hand out of chocolate. She was fantastic! We had the double happiness on our invites, so we carried it through the cake.

Congrats on your Wedding! You looked wonderful. AND it was fun to see hubby and family.

What kind of cake did you have? It looked really pretty. You'll notice I focus on cake and not dress....

The cake was worth focusing on. It was lovely and so so delicioius. Even the fondant was tasty, as she doesn't use lard.

Deena uses as many natural ingredients as possible. The bottom layer was red velvet - no food colouring, just the natural reaction of vinegar and baking soda. The middle layer was raspberry, which included raspberries from her own garden, and the top layer was lemon, with a lemon curd made from real squeezed lemons and zest.

We took her some pictures of what we wanted - 3 layers, black and white, with hits of red, and some asian flair and a double happiness. She used the pattern of our wedding invite (there was a band at the bottom) to do the scrolling above the black ribbon, and instead of piping it she printed it on edible paper. I had taken one up that had cherry blossoms, and she used that as her inspiration. The branch was modelling chocolate, as was the double happiness - both moulded by hand. And it was tasty, which was the important thing. :)

I love my dress too. I was considering selling it, but I don't think I can make myself do it. :)

D and the rest of the guys all looked awesome. :)

The cake was awesome. The baker is from Barrie, and she uses as many natural ingredients as possible. The bottom layer was red velvet - no food colouring, just the natural reaction of vinegar and baking soda. The middle layer was raspberry, which included raspberries from her own garden, and the top layer was lemon, with a lemon curd made from real squeezed lemons and zest.

The stole came in very handy when we were outside. :) It was a rental from the same place Dad got his suit.

Oh. honey. Those are so wonderful. I love the one of the two of you sitting in the window. I love them all, but that one is particularly nice. You look just beautiful.

I know you must miss your grandmother terribly, but special this day must have been for you two. *hugs*

Thanks Stephanie. The ones in the window were accidental - I was trying to find someplace that people wouldn't be standing behind us, but we could sit and rest a bit. And the waterfall was just visible behind us. :)

It was a great day. I was okay until I started opening cards yesterday, and found one from grandma and grandpa that my aunt had written on their behalf. I just cried and handed it to Derek. :)

I didn't talk about it too much - I was too busy planning it. Derek asked in June, and wanted to get married 11/11/11, so it's been a busy few months. And any time we had that wasn't used for wedding planning was used to visit my grandmother, who passed away the week before the wedding.

Thanks for the congrats.

What a stunning dress. I love the bodice. And the two of you look so happy together.

May your lives be filled with happiness and love.

Thanks so much. My dress was nothing like what I expected (I'd figured on very simple), but I love it. I should wear it to work one day...
