Wedding Bells

First: It occured to me that it would be easier to upload all pictures than add captions and text! I'm a friggin' genius sometimes! bwahahaha

OK so our wedding: We were married in Portland, aboard the Sternwheeler Rose! I feel blessed to have had a unique wedding. I haven't heard of anyone else getting married on a river boat. =) It was great too. The cruise was only 2 1/2 hours... This turned out to be the PERFECT amount of time to board sail down (or was it up? Anywhozle..) river and let the captian idle the boat infront of downtown Portland, have the ceremony, take a ridiculous amount of pictures, eat, mingle, Father/Daughter dance and our first dance... then we were docking and getting the hell out of there! OH! and of course we had cake... yummm!

Something unique I really wanted to incorporate into our wedding was my Brother-in-law, Levi who was unfortunately deployed at the time. So my sister and I fashioned yellow ribbons and everyone in attendance wore one. He was very missed on that day. When we were having cake and giving everyone thanks for being there with us on that special day, I wanted to explain the ribbons' purpose.. .but really I just broke down and balled like a baby. Thankfully Kevin took over for me and completed my explination.

Here's a few pictures:

Love this one: See us down there on the back of the boat?

Well funny story: getting out there was quite a royal pain in the ass. But getting back to the dock almost caused a huge calamity; Kevin turned toward the dock and started walking. I started to follow with my flowers and heels but slipped! GASP! I shout "KEVIN!" he turns you know ever- slowly and looks at me like "what is your problem?" I say "Can I get a little help please!!?" His response was to take my flowers and continue off the boat onto the dock! GRRR... what a wonderful impression he makes as a new Husband... All's well that ends well, I suppose. I didn't fall off into the yucky water and we got an awesome picture out of the ordeal! =)
