The Lady in Red's Big Day
All the details :-)

I was going to wait until I had all of my pictures, but since I've had a little bit of time on my hands and was browsing WBC, I decided to post the ones from my photographer's blog. We are extremely happy with the pics we saw and can't wait to see the rest...I hope you enjoy them!

I'd be lying if I said everything went perfectly. There will always be things that go wrong--it's just how you handle them that is important! We had beautiful weather and an awesome ceremony. FH loved my dress and said I must have read his mind because he loves a lady in red. I really couldn't have asked for more than that. And besides, we were married at the end--sounds like a successful day to me! :-)

I ran 40 mins late to my own wedding. lol So ladies, please leave enough time for you to get ready--especially if you are doing everything yourself. It is important to have time to yourself before you walk down the aisle. You need that little bit of relaxation. I didn't have it, but it all worked out. However, FH told everyone that I was well worth the wait. I broke my bustle before I even left out the cabin. I stepped back and ripped the thread that was holding up my skirt. We couldn't get my bracelet to fasten (although I had done it before). My earring fell out right before I was going to walk out the door and then couldn't get it back in...luckily my MOH found me a backing I could use.

We definitely have a memorable moment in our wedding. I was so rushed at getting ready, that I forgot to make sure my MOH had my husband's ring (should have given both to the Pastor or the bestman). So when it got time to do the rings, we had to pretend. LOL Hubby and I laughed about it then and we laugh about it now. We didn't freak out or get mad. We laughed it off and continued on with the ceremony. A few guests said they didn't know! He got it before we did our formal pictures.

As I said--don't let the little things get to you. Have fun and enjoy your day. That is what is important.

I received lots of compliments on my dress, the flowers, how lovely the ceremony was, and the decorations. I also received lots of compliments about the Out of Town bags...they were worth putting together. So it all is worth it.

Happy wedding plans to you lovely ladies who are still going at it...I do have to admit though, even though we had a small wedding I am really glad it is over.

Everything looked beautiful.  I love your pictures and cannot wait to see some more!  I hope you had a great honeymoon!  And you're right, it's nice to have it all over and get back to living again!  It's so sweet what your hubby said about you being worth the wait... that makes it all worth it!  I remember how my husband looked at me once he saw me for the first time and was grinning from ear to ear.. that's what made it all worth it to me!

And I absolutely love the mountains in all the pictures, what a beautiful piece of heaven!  Congratulations Melissa!

Let me know if your husband is willing to let you do a TTD! I'm looking forward to possibly doing the photos with you!! :)

ladies you are so sweet!  Thank you all for the wonderful comments.  They made my day!

Jenny--I'll definitely start working hubby on the TTD session.  lol  But I know for sure it won't be until this summer--I really would love to do a beach one.  We'll see...he was more worried about my dress being ruined than me so don't hold your breath!

WOW your wedding turned out just gorgeous!!! Too funny about the ring...oh well it all worked out in the end and you're married, but it's a cute story!

First-love your dress--said it before..and I'll say it again =D

Second-GREAT pics (especially love "the happy couple", "dad", "during the ceremony", "bubbles bubbles everywhere", "red barn", "me", "fun on the canoe", "hop on the hay", and "night picture") WOW.....they all look amazing actually...but damn those look like they came straight out of a magazine!!!!

Congrats and best wishes to the happy couple!!!

Congratulations, you totally rock that red dress!!!! you look gorgeous!  i love, love everything about your wedding, the dress, the bouquet, the ring & particularly the ceremony location (grenen outdoor field made a beautiful backdrop to the ceremony)
seeing your photos is truly an inspiration, FH & I are still contemplating about the same red dress & i think we may just have a conclusion now  ; )

Thank you ladies!  

Imdawn--you are too sweet!  I hope you are enjoying the first 6 months of your marriage.  I still can't believe you pulled off your destination wedding AND the large reception back home.  I only had to plan for the small one and that was enough for me!  :-)

Fusionbride---I hope you do go for it, but whatever you are comfortable with is what is important.  I still love the dress and want to wear it again!  lol  Sounds odd, but honestly I loved it that much.  Enjoy the rest of your wedding planning!  It'll be here and over with before you know it so enjoy it!
