First Wedding Photos

Hi Friends, I've missed you!!
Here are the first few photos of wedding day.

Everything went really well. We had a wonderful day!!! We had great Fall weather, with no smoke or heat. Yay!!
The bride was beautiful!!! She smiled the whole entire day.

I will be getting more photos for you in the coming days, but I thought you would want to see a few today.

I am exhausted, but in a good way.

The reception we were told by many, was the best wedding reception ever. I will have more pictures of that soon.



This is Amanda with Haley, one of the 3 flower girls.
Mark and I before the wedding. Amanda and her bridesmaids, me and my mom.




A sneak peek at the reception site.

Amanda and Joe the night before at the rehearsal dinner. One more of the bride.






I cannot explain what a fun, exciting and wonderful day we all had. This is the first of many wedding posts. I hope you won't get bored with them.
Thanks to all of you, for your kind and encouraging words. Thanks for all of my Anniversary wishes too.
Your friend,
Rosemary

Rosemary, you and your daughter are so beautiful and look like you could be sisters. The colors she chose are so perfect for Fall. I bet it was wonderful - it looks like it was very fun. Your dress is very, very pretty and the color is stunning on you. Your daughter's dress is also very beautiful - she looks like a princess!
