I voted for #1. Although I think you'd already made your decision by time I got here! ;-) I just think that style and the "specialness" of it are PERFECT for that amazing dress of yours! I think they will look beautiful together. Also, I agree w/ Jaime about the bout. I think something from your bouquet would be the best. And roses are always simple and beautiful. AND, YAY for two weeks!!!!!!

Awwww! That's sweet! What a cute story and lovely quote! If we had to pick something from our relationship...it would probably be a Napoleon Dynamite quote or something! Lol! We don't have a saying, or a song or anything like that. Sometimes I feel bad about it, like we're a sub-par couple or something. But mostly I think it's perfect...it's just us. Some people have songs...others have quotes from goofy movies! Lol!

A co-workers wife had "Put This Back On!" engraved in his! LOL! They're just a funny couple like that...he loved it! :-) I just did " I Love You" and our wedding date. I had a phrase all picked out, but it was too long and I couldn't figure out how to shorten it. Make sure you know how many letters you can use before you get your heart set on something. It's a bummer to be told "no" at the jewelry shop when you're all set on something that won't fit.

Wow! Your wedding was beautiful!! I love how light and elegant everything looked! That banner is really great too! I'm sorry about the trouble w/ the photog...but I'm glad that everything else turned out so great. You guys look pretty and happy....just how it should be! Thanks for sharing!

Quote: Aww, thanks Rachelle. But, we're actually very UNphotogenic. And, i know people are modest and always say that, but, seriously, every snapshot of us is terrible, and I generally hate myself in pictures...unless it's Leigh or Juan shooting them! You're welcome! Not that I actually believe you. . .but whatever! LoL! I guess that's why we pay those photogs the "big bucks"! Vanity. . . ;-)

I think the bouquets look great!!! Personally, I'm a little partial to ivory ribbon around bouquets. I just think it always looks pretty in contrast to the color of the flowers and stems...and it looks so bridal. But that's just me. How you have it now is REALLY cute!! Just do what you like. . .as long as you like them, I think that's all that matters! ;-)

OMG!! Gorgeous!!! Totally beautiful and sexy! You must be so proud of your photogenic selves! ;-)

Quote: I love your hair, that is what I want to do, can I borrow a pic to show my sister? Of course!! Help yourself! Quote: Thanks for sharing the pics! You two make a gorgeous couple. ...I was wondering what the significance was with the bright orange garter...then I read the posts:) Hmmm...that gives me an idea Thank you!! The garter was kind of a whim, but I'm really glad I got it...he loved it! And I think they make them for serveral different schools. . . Quote: Beautiful photos. I really love your cake. did you design it yourself? It's very pretty. Thanks! Yeah, I designed it myself, I just bought a ribbon that I liked and gave it to the lady who was doing my cake for me...and i ordered the flowers through my florist. Peonies...love them! Quote: so beautiful! where is texas was your wedding and i am so sorry but is that a longhorn garter-hahaha just kidding! i am an aggie! My wedding ceremony was at my parents church in Wylie and the reception was at a place called The Surrey House in McKinney...downtown near the square. And don't worry about the garter thing...they EVEN make garters for Aggies! Lol! j/k!!

omg! That would be amazing! I've always wanted to go to Greece! You always see those pictures of the great architechture, colors and of course, the beautiful Mediterranean - you guys should totally go! That way I can live vicariously through you! ;-)

Aww thanks!! The flower girls are actually David's nieces...they are awesome! The little ringbearer is my nephew - and my older sister is the poor pregnant BM...but isn't she cute w/ that belly?!?! My first niece was born like 2 weeks later! LoL! Ooh, btw...I wanted to explain the random bright orange garter! You can't really tell in the pic, but it has UT on it...which is the college my husband went to. We had a joke about how I had to be a Longhorn fan if we got married etc. Totally silly, but he freaked when he saw the garter! He barely got it off my leg when he said, "I don't really have to throw this, do I?" He was SO worried!! It was cute. ;-)

Thanks!! It was by Casablanca. I really like a lot of their dresses...and they're actually not crazy expensive...I think mine was around $750-800?

Thanks! It was totally your encouragement that motivated me to post them!

Ok so even though this was over a year ago. . .and it was in Texas. . .here are my wedding pics! Hope you girls enjoy looking at them! And just so you know, there are a LOT of them - feel free to stop looking at any time! Lol! SmugMug - steve horvath (stevehorvath) : Rachelle & David's Wedding

Lol! I think that would work Courtney! ;-)

Ooh! That's exotic! I know someone who went to Thailand on their honeymoon. . .well, they went a few months after the wedding. . .had to save a little more $ to make it happen! But they said it was amazing!

I'm SO bored at work...and I found this little quiz! I thought it was fun. .. and right on for me since we DID go to Mexico for our honeymoon! Thought you girls might have fun with it. Code: You Should Honeymoon in Mexico! After planning your wedding, all you want to do is relax No busy honeymooon for you. You'll take a warm beach and a cool cocktail. Plus, you can stay in a super swank hotel for cheap And discover that there's little better than a pool with a built in bar! Suggested destinations: Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Cozumel Where Should You Go On Your Honeymoon? Girls-Only Blogthings - Where Should You Go On Your Honeymoon? And yeah, sorry it looks a little crazy...hope it works and you guys can see it alright. I wasn't sure what format to try and post it in!

Where's our writer, Kelly (Dragonfly)?! Share those skills girl!!

I like #5 a LOT! What a great gift! I'm brainstorming to see if I can think of any good suggestions. . .but so far I think yours are all great! I'll let you know if I have a rare moment of brilliance! Lol!

Yeah, it is a great area...and there are lots of good schools in the metroplex/suburbs. AND family members make great babysitters!! ;-)

SO cute!!! Congratulations!!!

I think it's cute and informative! I like it!!

omg - I'm bored and obsessed! LoL!

Quote: i got my dress at LUlus!!!!! CooL! Lulu's is great! I loved working with them...so nice. And hey! Didn't you used to be a Texas girl before Miami?? Maybe I'm confused but I thought so for some reason. . . Quote: Rachelle you look gorgeous. Umm I have to say though I think you lost your mind, thinking that no one would want to see your wedding pics. Have you met us? We feen pics like a hooker feens crack. Jen I can't believe you are getting married in a couple of days. As far as the sparklers go I would also get more so that each of your guests can have one. You can also place them in a heart in the sand and you and FI can sit in them and take a pic. It maybe a nice thank you card. You guys can sit inside and kiss or just sit in inside and look lovingly at each other. *sigh* Can you guys tell I feel romantic? LOL! Glenda, you crack me up. . .but you're right about the pics...you think I'd never "met" Tammy M before with that comment!! ;-) I guess I just didn't really think about posting them since they're just here in Texas, you know? It's not like the little town of McKinney is popular among those looking for DW sites! lol! Also, LOVE the idea about taking the pics w/ the sparklers...so cute!!! Would def be a great thank you card image.
