OK, so the first picture (in the first post) was from my best friend, and the second two from my cousin... now some that our friend, who agreed to be the photographer, took.

Bridesmaids! Believe it or not, they picked those dresses independently of each other. And... they matched.
L to R - Jess (BM), Me, and my sister (MOH) My sister and I do not resemble each other much!

My friends helping out in the kitchen - I think John told them to look serious or something, because everytime I was in there they were not!

Family - Here you can see one of the tables, but the colors were different at all of them!

This is a terrible picture of all the people in it, but you can see (though the purses!) the tablecloth and centerpiece... This was taken towards the end of the night, so all the tables got a bit disheveled like this as people got up and moved around and chatted with different people.

How Will and I were feeling after a really, wonderful and exhausting day! ;)

Blurry picture of my hair - my sister did it. True to color, my hair IS actually red at the tips, though I've never dyed it. It was falling out a bit at the end of the night.

Two very awesome people, and the cake table!

Below are ones taken by my best friend... who apparently spent the evening playing with shutter speed, so very few of them are clear. But he actually took pictures of the venue too, whereas John took them of people (and why I didn't post a lot of the best ones, they are of family members and such)

I love the table clothes & the centerpieces!!! Everything looked like it turned out wonderfully and everyone looks to be having a great time in the pics! You and Will look so so so happy!

[sandy03]

Everything looks fantastic! Congratulations to you both!!

[SkippyNXC]

oh wow! looks as good as i pictured it in my minds eye ;)

ps those tableclothes are FABULOUS!

[gwenshack]

The pic of the two of you looking at each other (I think) when the ceremony just ended, is adorable! :)

Your BM looks more like you than your sister! I totally thought, before reading the captions, that she was your sister. How funny!

All your hard work definitely paid off - the flowers, wine bottles and tablecloths looked awesome. :bbmrgreen:

[FFC]

I love your pics Christine! You look sooooo happy and relaxed! That's just the way brides SHOULD feel & look at their wedding :)

[ChristineLS]

Thanks everyone! :heart:

Those tablecloths were the silkscreen patterns of Will's grandmother, an established artist in Western New York, and we pulled them. It was a full day's worth of work, with Will's mom cutting the muslin, Will and I pulling the ink onto the muslin, and then making sure we got it to the line without smudging. Will then took a heat gun to cure the ink, and set it. The wine bottles were of ours and our friend's wine habits... :innocent: and those flowers, which looked SO much better in real life than in the pictures, were grown by Will's mom and Evan in their garden. Here is a picture of them on my parent's kitchen table the next morning:

And that's like, half of them. The rest were given away, as were the tablecloths (my aunt took one for her dining room table!) and wine bottles. The cupcake table was purely the work of my MIL, SIL and BIL. Uh... we don't have any good pictures of the buffet table. Which is too bad, my family and friends did a great job with it. Everything there was the result of someone who helped us... we are lucky!

[Heywie]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! You looked amazing and it looks like everyone had a great time!

I loved all your personal touches! Fabu!

[WBandMe]

You guys look sooo happy and the whole place was full of love, it seems. I really like how everything looked so.. natural. The centerpieces, the building, the happy couple... it just all looked like how things were meant to be, if that makes any sense. Everything looked beautiful. I LOVE the tablecloths, btw!

[amisteratwisterandme]

Christine,

I am so darn happy for you. After dealing with the stress the last few weeks before your big day, I was nervous for you. I am so glad things turned out well for you.

I love how your wedding was a community effort. You indeed are a lucky lady!

[sandy03]

Darn it! I was just going to ask if you had any leftover tablecloths you wanted to sell! I wanted one for my dining room because it would look fantastic with my china pattern.

[f77g4]

More great pics Christine!

[yam102284]

Everything looked awesome - the tablecloths, centerpieces, the cupcakes. Glad you had such a great day, you looked beautiful! :)

Thanks everyone! :D

[RosieAngel]

Eeek, I'm a little late to the party!

But I wanted to say congratulations! I love how the wedding reflected your personality - such a joyful and relaxing atmosphere! You looked beautiful and so happy! :happy:

I'm also a big fan of dahlias, so the table arrangement made me happy! They're the perfect late summer flower, so hardy and vibrant! My dad and I used to grow them and go to dahlia shows to order special varieties and oogle the winners!

[MrsDM]

Aw everything looked perfect!! You guys look so happy, congrats!!

[Danielle9608]

WOW your wedding turned out even better then I imagianed it would. All the personal touches that you and your friends and family put into it made it so incredible! Your sister did an awesome job on your hair and I am so glad you were able to wear your mom's dress. It looked perfect on you and you were simply gorgeous! Congrats.
