Our wedding pictures

Here is the last set of "official" pictures. These were taken by my brother Francis. I call this set the authorized unofficial pictures. If anyone out there has any of our wedding pictures that they would like to share, please do - it would be nice to see them.

"Official" Pictures from the Wedding

Here are some of the pictures that Dan Benoit took for our wedding. It is located here.

The only set of pictures that I have left to upload are those that my brother Francis took with Geofford's camera.

I am going to pick up the official photographs from our photographer tomorrow, so we will hopefully have some more pictures soon!

Married life is pretty good, it is still strange to see Geofford's finger with a ring on it, but it does really make me smile.

We had a busy few days over the past little while. Francis and Jaclyn had their blessing on Friday night, which involved the nuptial blessing as well as some food and drink. It was nice to see Jaclyn's family again. We also finally got to meet Justin - her brother who was away in St. Lucia doing some great work. On Saturday we went to DimSum with the Gannons and then on Saturday night we celebrated Stephan's 30th Birthday. I really hope that married life doesn't involve so much eating/partying because then I don't think that I will have time to get a job because I will be too busy trying to work out to keep off the extra calories.

I think that this week will be good because we will start settling into a more regular routine. Geofford working, and me being a housewife (I am no longer unemployed, I am a housewife until I find a new job). I hope I do find a job soon because I don't want to get too used to not working or else Geofford will be in trouble :)

I'm Married!

Wow, it has been an amazing few days, but Geofford and I got married on Saturday, September 16, 2006. We haven't received our official pictures yet, but my dad posted some of his here, and I have attached one of our pictures from my camera. I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to carry a camera all day, but I guess this way there are way more pictures of me :) Here are some more pictures of the day - some that I took, and others that I didn't.

The day turned out to be a perfect day. It was crummy here in Ottawa for a while, but on Saturday morning, after the fog cleared, it was a bright and sunny day. After an early start with a 8am hair appointment, I arrived at the church a little early, and was able to get ready. My bridesmaids and I discovered that Tide to Go Pens actually do work. Some of the pollen/petals of my flowers got on my dress in a few places, so we used the Tide to Go pen, and there were no more stains, phew... The ceremony was perfect, and Father Joseph Muldoon spoke the perfect homily for us. He spoke about how it was such a great day and although we chose the auspicious day, it turned out to be a great day because it was also Geofford's paternal grandparents' anniversary. Overall I think that it was a great day for the wedding. I will post more pictures when they become available. Thanks to everyone for helping out to make this such a spectacular day.

Thank you to all!

Thanks to all who attended my bridal shower today, and thanks to those who attended in spirit - you know who you are. A huge thanks to Tracy, Kathy, and Lisa for making the day really special. I'm not sure that I really liked all the attention, but it was nice to get a little dry-run in before the wedding when I'm guessing that I will have a lot more attention. Fortunately on the wedding day, I will get to share the limelight with Geofford.

The wedding planning is progressing quite well. I have almost all of the details completed except the flowers - but I have picked the type of flowers, so that is a big step :) I am also meeting my seamstress tomorrow for the dress alterations, so that should be exciting, this means that I can't change my shape for the next 4 weeks. After Nationals (we leave for Halifax on Wednesday and I get back on Monday - Geofford gets back on Sunday), then it will be 4 weeks until the wedding, which means that organizing gets into high gear. I promise to update all of the wedding party and relatives on the tentative timeline and what everyone is responsible for.

I also didn't realize how many people secretly read my blog - but for the record David, I did post that we were registered at the Bay - and it was back on May 14 in the second last paragraph. Also for those who are interested in more information about the tea ceremony, you can click on this link. We are modifying it slightly and both the groom's and bride's families will be participating.
