Iowa lesbian wedding photos

[catherineldf]

These are just a selection, seeing as I have not consulted with our friends on whether or not they'd like to be plastered all over my blog. So just us and objects for the moment; you'll have to take my word for it that other people were there. :-)
Huge thanks to Naomi and Erin for these shots!

The bouquet -


Us approaching our officiant -


The aftermath -


Carving up Emily's amazing soy wedding cake -


More stuff to come, including ring photos and such, and maybe my personal fav, Jana staring at my lime green devil duck pen in perplexed horror before using it to sign the license.

Really, the only appropriate response to these is, "Awww..."

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-D

Loved the pictures. You two looked grand.

"...lime-green devil duck pen.." I'm not sure I want to know.

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thanks!
And you're in luck! I'll bring the pen this weekend. :-)

And I was *so* hoping to maintain an illusion of decorum this weekend. Ohwell...(grin)

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Snort. Like that would have happened. :-D

I LOVE the one of you two approaching the altar! You look magnificent. Your wedding dress is now officially my favorite wedding dress evAR.

I am sad and angry that it couldn't be here in MN so I could have attended in person.

But what lovely bouquets and a gorgeous cake and everything. Just wonderful. Can't wait to see more photos!

Why, thank you! The dress is from a fabulous store in Vegas, of all places. We were there about 8 years back because we inherited someone else's tour package (he was auditioning in Toronto for the Hindi channel), and this purchase was the definite highpoint. The dress is embroidered silk and the outer vest is brocade and applique. :-)
And yes, we would have liked to have done it here too. :-(

Yay! So cute!

I so want to see the devil duck pen. I wish I'd had anything like the sense of style to use that at my wedding

(OOC)

LOL! :-D
I'll see what I can do about posting that one. And thanks!

[hildebabble.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Many congratulations. :)

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!

[marydell.livejournal.com]

Oh, how lovely! Congratulations!

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!! :-D

[jean-roberta.livejournal.com]

Yes! Wedding kisses! I'll await the rest of the album. :)

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Most of the others are of various friends so I'll see who's okay with being 'immortalized.' :-)

Just a minute! You consult with people before posting pictures of them? Hmm, I gotta try that sometime.

GREAT PICTURES!!!!!!
You both look happy and fabulous!
Love the dress!

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! :-D
I'll pass on the photo compliments to our pals who took them.

Yay!

[muneraven.livejournal.com]

Your pictures made me so happy! You both look wonderful. Many congrats to both of you. :-D

Re: Yay!

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! :-D
You two going to make the trip any time soon?

Re: Yay!

[muneraven.livejournal.com]

We've talked about it but we've both done the wedding thing once before we met, and we both are so shy that we found it rather painful. We like other people's weddings when they have to be the center of attention, though!

Re: Yay!

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

You can always keep it pretty small and ban cameras. :-)
But yes, I suppose it's different if you've done it before. I must say though, I'm surprised at how quickly our stock has gone up with family and extended family friends. It's kind of intense.

[rarelylynne.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

(and let me add very belated congrats)!

[catherineldf.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! And happy early b-day!

[pameladean]

You guys are gorgeous.
