| Misty & Doug Get Married |
|
|
It started with a pair of rings, his and hers. |
Then there were parties. |
Then there was a lot of planning to do. |
||
|
|
 |
Lots of parties.
|
We'll skip over that part. It was tiring. |
|
|
Misty gave Doug his first. |
||||
| What would a bride be without a bridal shower? | Or showers? | There were so many details to keep track of! | |
|
My fabulous maid of honor! |
 I admit it -- I was thoroughly spoiled. |
 I made this! I made many things. Many. |
|
Fortunately, my brother got married first, so I learned a lot from watching him. |
Plus, I had the best bridesmaids ever. |
I gave them lists of instructions--lists!--and they didn't kill me. |
||
 |
 They made it so easy on me. |
 I would have killed me. I told you they were the best. |
|
Rehearsal helped work out all the kinks. . . |
|
||
 |
 |
 |
|
|
. . . and we got to eat good food after. |
|||
 We were so blessed in the friends and family who came from near and far to be with us. |
|
|
|
 And Doug took the list thing pretty well. |
| After a week of
no sleep for Misty, the big day arrived.
Everybody cleaned up nicely. Me included. |
|
|
|
| Yep, we were a good-looking group.
|
|
|
|
| The day was simply perfect:
full of joy, and surprisingly relaxed.
|
|
Of course, I wasn't doing any of the hard work.
|
|
| And then . . . the most important moment arrived. | I didn't trip walking down the aisle. | Both of us remembered the vows we'd memorized. |
 Doug didn't make a run for it, though he had the chance. |
 |
 |
| A few magic words, a smooch, and . . . |
Married! |
Sure, we could have eloped . . . | . . . but this way, we had all our favorite people with us to celebrate. |
|
|
|
|
| And celebrate we did. | |||
 |
   |
| On our way to happily ever after. | |||
