STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Here it is as promised!  Is it old news yet?

RECAP:

Overall everything went quite well, and I guess that's something considering all the things that could have gone wrong, and coming from me who planned the whole thing and noticed when little things went wrong, too.  It was very hot that day (like 102 degrees, hot), but the ceremony was very short and we moved the cocktail hour inside the (air conditioned) reception tent.  Our photographer took 1,500 pics (which should be here any day) and some friends and family took another 1,000 between them that I know of.

I didn't cry at the ceremony !  Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves - the food was good, the beer and wine we selected was very popular, the cake was gorgeous (and yummy).  The champagne we ordered for everyone for the toast was never served, which made the whole toast/cake-cutting segment a bit awkward, but nobody noticed that but FH and I.  We got lots of compliments, and soooo many people notice all the little things that people tell you not to worry about doing - that's some serious validation, baby!

If anyone has any questions about specific parts (for your own wedding planning purposes or plain curiosity ), feel free to ask!  I haven't been sent all the non-pro pics people took yet, so I may add another post to this thread later if I get some really good ones back.

PICS: (let me know if I'm eating too much bandwidth and I'll edit, admin)

These might appear somewhat me-centric, but that's only because I don't want to plaster the faces of my entire family and friends here, lest I out myself.  Besides I'm the one you 'know' anyway, right ?
