Wedding Pictures! (sorry if it's a slow load)

[Pacifist Patriot]

The brides and the minister waiting for the piper to begin the processional.



The exchange of vows



The handfasting



The recessional (piper played "Minstrel Boy")



LeftyMom and Pacifist Patriot with LostinVA



LeftyMom and Pacifist Patriot with Haruka

I cannot believe I didn't get a picture with LynneSin and Starbucks Anarchist. Bummer!



The last dance.

The weekend was an absolute blast. The weather was spectacular (after a little bit of nerve-wracking early rain on Saturday morning) and I have held to my record of not having a single outdoor wedding rained out yet. LostinVA, Haruka and the other DUers I met (first ones in person by the way) are all delightful people. I just hope I didn't bore them to tears with my propensity to talk nonstop that is only exacerbated with wine. Occupational hazard I'm afraid. We ministers love to hear the sound of our own voices. Thanks for the cookies Lefty! Sorry we missed breakfast LynneSin. I hope you had a safe drive home.

Much love to everyone!

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. They were really pretty dresses. And LostinVA has great taste in shoes.

She and I had the exact make and model save for the color. *grin*

[LostinVA]

11. Yay -- the pictures came out great!

It means so much to us that you officiated.

I was down in the lobby at 8:10 this morning, I must have just missed you.

[Pacifist Patriot]

15. Yep. At that time I was gassing up at the Exxon right by the entrance...

to the highway. I ended up flying standby for an 11:15 flight instead of waiting until 3:30. I was home before my original flight even took off. The reason I did that was because I looked at my rental car agreement and the car was due back to Enterprise before 11:00. Didn't make much sense to sit around Newark airport for 4 1/2 hours. Eee gads! Sorry I missed you!

[tigereye]

44. what a lovely wedding!

[SallyMander]

[CatholicEdHead]

14. Congrats! Great pics and good luck to the happy couple

[LynneSin]

17. You made it home ok ---- YEAH!!!

I had the worst time sleeping last night. The room was cool, which is what I prefer, but that top cover was so fricking heavy that I would wake up sweating to death. So I figured it was best to pack my bags and go home. Plus I wanted to take 611 down through eastern PA. I use to live in Bucks County for 12 years so it was like memory lane seeing the old place and how they've now overdeveloped the area. I stopped at a few stores in New Hope, PA where I bought some lovely things for my new kitchen.

I ended up not getting home until around noon, but it was a lovely drive. Sorry I missed you guys off - I'm guessing you got the notes I left everyone!

[Pacifist Patriot]

21. Yes, I got the note. Thank you!

My husband saw it in my briefcase and raised an eyebrow. He's so cute!

May I say that bright and early on a Sunday morning is the ONLY time to drive into Newark. Glad you made it home okay.

[SPKrazy]

18. great pics!

:woohoo:

congrats to the happy couple

:loveya:

:hug: :hug:

:toast:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Great pics!

Sorry I didn't get a pic with you. I guess there was a rush to get to the hotel, while I had to get back to NYC, so time was limited.

But it was very nice meeting you. :hi:

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. Likewise!

Sorry I'm so much of a chatterbox. :blush:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

30. No, I enjoyed it.

:D

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. Congratulations! You two are a beautiful (inside and out) couple!

Wishing you lots of joy, love and light! :)

[FunkyLeprechaun]

23. That looks soo sweet!

Congrats and it looks like it was a wonderful wedding!

I like the guy in the kilt by the way! :-)

[LostinVA]

24. That's my nephew

He's not barely legal yet.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. He was a cutie. I couldn't get him to dance with me though.

I couldn't tell if he was just shy, hated the music, or the thought of dancing with a woman the same age as his mother grossed him out. ;)

[LostinVA]

26. Actually, I think he was just drunk

[Pacifist Patriot]

27. Shoot, he wasn't the only one.

The bartender saw me coming and he'd open another bottle of wine. :blush: I seriously hope I did not make an ass of myself.

[LostinVA]

29. Oh, God no -- I mean, I was getting felt up by one of Haruka's drunk friends

In front of her.

She got lipstick all over my neck. This is the same one who had the hots for you.

Or the guests that fell down giggling in the hallway of the hotel and yelled to LeftyMom, "we're drunk because we just went to a lesbian wedding."

It just shows everyone's having a good time.

[Pacifist Patriot]

31. Someone had the hots for me? Damn! I AM oblivious. Drunk or no.

[LostinVA]

33. I thought I told you

That there was one male and one female that had the hots for you, and that they're a couple. Then, you told me a story about your husband.

[Pacifist Patriot]

42. Oh! Now I remember.

Old age or wine. Take your pick.

[txwhitedove]

28. Congratulations to the loving couple.

[DarkTirade]

32. To reiterate what I saw with the last picture from this...

Awwwwwww. :)

[Pushed To The Left]

34. Congratulations Haruka and LostinVa!

:bounce: :toast: They look like a very happy couple.

[MrScorpio]

May you have a long life together

[grace0418]

36. Congratulations to the lovely and happy couple! And thanks for posting the

[deepthought42]

37. Awwww...

WOOT! CONGRATS!!!! :hug:

:toast:

[Lisa0825]

38. Beautifu, beautiful, beautiful...

I especially like the "last dance" pic. I don't know either of you personally, but your joy in those pictures just warms my heart. Best wishes for a long and happy life together.

:loveya:

[Radio_Lady]

39. My best wishes to the bride and bride... from a traditional couple married 34 years.

Love each other deeply, strongly, and fully.

Enjoy this relatively brief life with the one you desire.

Keep this commitment until death parts you.

So nice to see your happy faces on the Democratic Underground.

All love,

Radio Lady Ellen and husband Al the Audiophile in Oregon

40. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...

i just got a cavity.
Great pic's..

[Callalily]

41. The two of you look

sooooo happy! The location looks fantastic, and you are both stunning.

Thanks for sharing not only the pictures but your journey.

[Evergreen Emerald]

43. Congratulations!

I am very happy for you.

[Whisp]

45. those pics are just wonderful!

thanks for posting. You are a great looking bunch. ;) congrats and warm wishes, etc.

Peace Patriot, you remind me of an actress (which I can't think the name of right now). Have you been told this before?

[Pacifist Patriot]

47. Wish I could take credit for the pictures, but I threw my camera into...

the open hands of one of the bridesmaid's boysfriends and asked if he'd mind doing the honors.

The weird thing is that I am told all the time that I remind the speaker of someone. But it's never the same person twice. And NONE of them (the famous ones) look alike in my opinion. I have been told:

Natalie Wood
Reba McIntire
Cynthia Nixon
Lesley Ann Warren
"That chick who was on that soap opera"
I swear I went to high school with you in East Bum Wherever
Didn't you used to work with my wife at _____?

[HughBeaumont]

50. I'm thinking Joan Allen on "Bourne Supremacy".

Thank you for officiating.

I filmed my SIL and her partner's wedding in 1999. One of the best ceremonies I went to and they're still together.

[Pacifist Patriot]

56. Okay, that's another new one.

I'll take it though. I've always liked her.

[Arugula Latte]

46. Congrats! Looks like a great time.

Great day ... :toast:

[MrCoffee]

48. Mazel Tov! kick for the workweek crowd
