Wedding Photos

Now that we've been wed for a week now, it's about time I drop a few wedding photos on you. First are my two favorites:


Chris and I kiss Chris' mom, who was our witness, outside of the county courthouse.


We hold the booklet that the state of California gives to all people applying for a marriage license. I now know I need to take more folic acid when I get pregnant.

And in the ceremony...

The big "I Do!" to do. Held in beautiful conference room B at the Lake County Courthouse.




The Lake County Courthouse in Lakeport where we were married.


Funny thing is, we didn't have rings, but the county clerk insisted we have a ring ceremony, so we used my ring back and forth. My ring is much bigger than Chris' finger.


The big smooch! I'm sad that my hair is thinning.


Chris' Uncle Bob wanted us to kiss outside the courthouse where the benches had the county name. Kind of awkward not getting my belly to cover it up!


One more with Mom. Her boa seemed appropriate. It was all very casual.

Well, I can see my scalp now, and that's different to me. Yes, my hair is pretty thick, actually.

Thanks for your complements!

Beautiful... Congratulations to you guys!

It was no grand production or anything, but it was quite meaningful - more than I thought it might be. Thanks for your thoughts!

And working the Carhartts!
Great pics!

Well, they don't sag in the rear as much as other jeans do, so I like the fit of them.

Thanks!

That holding hands photo made me tear up.

[identity profile] eggwards.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
We just needed another person or two to play ring around the rosie...

It was a pretty cool experience, actually. Thanks!

[identity profile] rowgun.livejournal.com 2008-11-06 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
These pics definitely bring a smile to my face. Congrats to the both of you!

Thanks Jeremy!

Congrats! That's amazing, and you both look like the beautiful brides that you are! hehehe Seriously though, some day I hope to find the same joy that I see in these pictures.

[identity profile] eggwards.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well, with the state of California, I'm party B, but he'll always be the bride. Besides, he would look better in a dress. I would likely look like a white Aretha Franklin.

Here's to your search! Good luck, and thanks!

Great pictures. What a festive fall boa too.

[identity profile] eggwards.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks Jon! Yes, the boa did seem to give the whole thing some flair.

[identity profile] bigboychb.livejournal.com 2008-11-06 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
yay for pics. that's so awesome.


I'm sad that my hair is thinning.

It's called distinguished hair. And you look fine.

[identity profile] eggwards.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm worried I'll get a noticeable bald spot, but that's vanity for you.

Thanks, Kurt!

It is pretty cool. I'm glad we waited 5 1/2 years for this moment because it felt good, even though I was very nervous going in!

Thanks Lee!

Congratulations! And also thank you for sharing these.

The picture of you both kissing Chris's Mom, and the look of utter joy on her face, made me tear up.

[identity profile] eggwards.livejournal.com 2008-11-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Chris' mom had such a difficult week, we were very happy to give her a distraction from what she had been going to. It really gave her a pick-me-up!

Thanks Joe!

Well, you can still get married in Massachusetts and Connecticut, and "civil unionized" in a few other places. I wouldn't be surprised if Marriage was legal in most of New England before 2015. At least one part of the country gets it. Let us know when the wedding will be!

Thanks Tony!

Thanks Trey! I enjoyed seeing your wedding pictures again, recently! I don't think we're going to ad a child to the family, though. The dog is enough trouble! :-)
