RobiLee requested that I post some wedding pictures in another thread, so per her request... here are some pictures from the big day.

Here is me and my best friend and maid of honor, Christine.

And like every wedding, we have "a story" but ours beats out most other people's, I think. The wedding was June 5, 2004. Our church burnt down on June 3, 2004. For a few hysterical hours on Thursday the 3rd, I had no church in which to get married. Another local church came through though, and despite a scare with the marriage license (our original church is in one county and the replacement was in another so my husband had to go get a judge to sign a waiver saying we could use the other county's license to get married in the new one), the wedding went beautifully. It was a great day (weather sucked) and I had a blast, though as everyone says - it went to fast. And like every other bride in history, I was left saying "All that planning for ONE day???" :)

I'm not for sure but it kind of seems that you were smiling and laughing also. Did you whisper something in his ear ;)

Yes, It all goes by too fast! And..OH MY...what a wedding story! That is a good one, well you know what I mean :p Geesh, the church burned down!! Holy Moly, I would have been in complete panic mode!!

I have a wedding story too..I'll have to share it when I have more time...maybe we should start a new thread for wedding stories ;)

Thanks for sharing the pics with us. I loved them!

Robin :)

Congratulations and I wish you the very best. May you have many, many years of happiness.

Your pictures are beautiful. I must say I think I would have almost died if our church burned down the day before but WOW you guys pulled it off wonderfully.

Again congratulations and best wishes. --- Meg

You look SO beautiful and your dress is stunning! I love a sleeveless, square cut top and the fabric is gorgeous! Was never a fan of too much lace:D Your story is a classic! OMG! You must have been frantic! Some might have taken the chruch burning down as an omen:eek: ;)

I'm so glad all worked out in the end! And you're right...all THAT for one day!:D But you'll see...years from now you're going to love having those beautiful memories!

What a beautiful bride you were! Thanks for sharing some of your pictures:)

[Samantha Puppy]

Thanks guys!

I was in panic mode, RobiLee... I was hysterical from the moment I found out until I found out that the other church would be available and help us out. What actually saved us is what everyone had been complaining about from the beginning... "Who has a wedding at 10:30 in the morning?" But if we'd had a regular afternoon or evening wedding, there is no way we would have been able to find another venue. Churches and other wedding ceremony venues book up 2 years in advance in this area for June weddings.

We even got interviewed by a news station out of Baltimore. hehe That was weird. We were the TOP story on the 6 o'clock news on Friday the 4th. LOL Must've been a slooooow news day. :)

My daughter has your story topped 4 hours before the wedding the 2 groomsmen dropped out of the wedding . Luckly an ex boyfreind (yes of the bride) and her uncle came through for her.

[Samantha Puppy]

:eek: If that had happened to me, I would have just had an uneven number of bridesmaids to groomsmen! Yikes!

[heinz57_79]

[Samantha Puppy]
