Everything went according to plan. Wedding guests arrived from UK and Newfoundland on time. The weather co-operated with sunshine/clouds and a chilly breeze but NO RAIN! We seem to have been eating, drinking, and celebrating for weeks.
The Bride arrived with her mum and dad.
The ceremony was at the Royal Botanical Gardens, in a courtyard surrounded by flowers.
OlderSon (who was a very efficient and handsome Best Man), me, my newest daughter-in-law, and YoungerSon. We all look so happy! No, I didn't wear my wedding hat.... I thought about it, but, well, I decided it just didn't go with the outfit.
And the first son-in-law for the Bride's family.
Of course, enjoying ice-cold Champagne in the stretch Hummer... and a picnic of ham buns and Nutribars, thoughtfully packed by the Bride's mum to stave off hunger between the wedding and the reception.
We haven't seen any of the photographer's pictures yet, but he was full of interesting poses for the wedding party.....
.... especially this one! The bridesmaids were gorgeous.
The first dance at the reception. 
And after that the party got really wild.
And now the newlyweds are enjoying sunny Portugal for a couple of weeks.Ahhhh... it's all over. But what a super time we all had. My UK and Newfoundland guests have gone home. We are trying to get back to normal, whatever that is. Happy memories!
Stunning, you can now sit back a bit and relax...
ReplyDeleteSo many good looking happy people in one place. As a man I don't know if it's my place to comment on the dress but I will.. it was beautiful, and the bride more so.
And you said "The bridesmaids were gorgeous". What an under statement
ha!
I'm going to keep popping back to read the comments now.
All the best to all concerned.
Looks like a great wedding, it is wonderful when things go as planed I'm glad the weather cooperated. Now it is time to sit back and take a breather. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome couple they make.
ReplyDeleteYou looked to have had a wonderful day, days, weeks?
What a brilliant idea to have the ceremony in a botanical garden, the colours are fantastic
I can't wait for more photos.
Delightful pictures and such a lovely bride. Her dress was simply beautiful and her Mother in Law wasn't too bad her self....great shots and wonderful memories. I'm looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteAs much fun as it was, isn't it a great relief when it's all over?
ReplyDeleteYou have been blessed with a beautiful new daughter...and her husband is quite the cutie as well!
Thanks for coming to my place!

Oh! meant to tell you ... I didn't MAKE the tassels you saw. I have made simple ones long ago. Thanks for the compliment!
must the be most beautiful fall wedding photos i've seen - her flowers, her dress, the colors of the garden - a stunning autumn wedding! You all look so happy and had so much fun! Congrats to everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous venue. The bride looked lovely, the bridesmaids too, the bride's mother looked great, but I have to say you looked absolutely stunning in your outfit. Well worth all the anxiety I'm sure. I imagine you were thrilled - hat or no hat!!!! So pleased for you all that yours, too, scored 10 out of 10!!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a wonderful feeling when it's all over and you know it went according to plan - despite the fact that you want it to go on for ever!
Looking forward to more updates!

I'm just catching up with blogs on a rugby free night - the wedding pictures are brilliant - so glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteA wedding without a hitch - that's a blessing!
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks happy (no wedding-preparations-stress showing) and the surroundings are perfect.
That photo of the groom with the bridesmaides should be sent to the "Bride Magazine" immediately ;-)
Happy life to the young couple! May their lives be as magical as their wedding!
(what a coincidence - I'm getting over a head cold, first one in 10 years! Hurry up, Florida sunshine will cure you in no time ;-))
A truly stunning bride! She looks beautiful in every picture. Love the eggplant the bridesmaids wore. In fact, I think I love everything! What an exciting, wonderful day. Best wishes to you all.
ReplyDeleteThese large weddings are quite the affairs, aren't they. They leave the head spinning, the guests smiling, the parents paying bills and the young couple starting off with a bang.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you too, Ex-Shammickite.
