Our Wedding Day!!! 8/2/08

Our wedding day is finally here!

Handsome groom!


Beautiful Bride!

This was my grandma's wedding dress that my mom and I each altered to wear as our own. My grandma had long sleeves and bustles on each side. My mom changed it to lace sleeves, took off the bustles, and added a veil. I had the straps made from my grandma's sleeves, added pearls and a loop to bustle the train for the reception, put pearls and crystals in the veil, and attached it to a comb. The size, length, and basic style is exactly the same as my grandma and mom both wore. This wedding dress is very special to me.





Finally on our way!

Waiting patiently as the storm continued to grow... Many clouds were overhead as the sky was turning dark, the wind was picking up, thunder was getting louder and more consistent, the ocean waves were crashing, seagulls were squacking, and guests were getting nervous!


The rain held off until 5 minutes after the ceremony ended, so most guests made it inside dry!




A few rain drops weren't going to stop our outside pictures!














The rain began to stop as the sun started to set. It was beautiful!


Our first dance, "You're Everything" by Keith Urban



Dancing with my dad, "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts


Mike & his mom dancing, "A song for my son" by Mikki



A special dance with our grandparents to say thank-you for being so wonderful!


"Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole






It was so hot inside!

Granny had fun dancing the night away!




Finally some comfortable shoes!








There's Granny again; she found John to dance with this time!










Gram & Grandpa have been married 57 years.
Love is amazing.


They also got married in Nahant, MA.







Our beautiful (and delicious) wedding cake that only took me 15 hours to make...! It was worth it.
Yum!!




John enjoyed so many parts of Boston, especially dancing with his step-mom, Katie.






After my wedding dress ripped I had to change, but we had a blast dancing the rest of the night!



My niece Sophia, who cried and slept through most of our wedding!

The entire day was beautiful!
It was perfect.
