I'm not feeling the intro today, so let's just get to the pictures. First, the poses.
Bride and groom:
In the gazebo
On the gazebo
Kissing in the garden
Our newly-official family
The whole wedding party
And as a bonus, the most photogenic couple at the wedding, without whom the event wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly as it did:
Then my family:
All my brothers, Dad and me, together for the first time in 5 years
Then with Erin, too
Four generations of Radles represented
Then his family:
Rob with his parents
With his brother
(he has a much smaller family than me)
Then, the reception shots:
We have pictures of all the tables, but I feel weird about posting pictures of all the non-family guests without their permission. Plus, they're just pictures of people sitting at tables.
Dancing with my dad while...
...Rob danced with his mom.
The cake
Dale's toast
No one else gave a toast...I'm not sure if it's because we are terribly unpopular, or that no one wanted to follow his. It was very good, but I don't remember much of it. Something about Rob's integrity, my grace (heh), and Noah's patience. :)
I badly misjudged how close I was to the ceiling, and threw the flowers up, rather than straight out like I should have. They hit the ceiling immediately, and didn't get anywhere near the girls. They all hesitated a minute, but then my much-bolder-than-me MOH went and picked them up. She wins!
And here we see that the garter practically fell into my older brother's hands. The others never had a chance--totally fate. I'd expect a wedding, but I'm not really sure if he's dating anyone. Or even intends to. If he is, God is definitely on that girl's side.
The bouquet and garter-catching couple
The official picture of the exit
I like this one better. Which, as you can see from the official shot and as I've previously mentioned, was taken by an 11-year-old girl with a disposable camera. She just had a better angle.
We drove that Mercedes for about 4 months. It belonged to a friend, but it was his extra car, so he let us borrow it for a while. I'm not sure what it would be like to have an extra Mercedes, but I bet it's nice to live in that world. :)
And that's it for the wedding pictures. Hope you enjoyed them!
