Just thought I'd post the blog separately so it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle for those of you wanting to see.

Yay!
Re: Here's the blog!
The pictures are so beautiful!!!! You look gorgeous!
Side-note: What is the significance of the breaking the glass? I always see it done, but I've never known what it means. What happens if it doesn't break the first time?
And OMG!! after scrolling through some of the other pictures on your photographer's blog, how freakin sweet is that one picture where the bride's something blue was a note that her HH wrote to her on the bottoms of her shoes in blue!!!! So cute!!
It can symbolize several things including:
-the destruction of the holy temple in Jerusalem
-love is strong, but is still fragile
-the breaking of the hymen (!)
-that this is a irreversible action, and the action of marriage is permenent
I don't know if it means that much if it's not broken the first time. Maybe it's bad luck? A lot of people use a light bulb, which is easier to break and makes a louder popping sound. The glass they used for my cousin's wedding was so thick it cut through her husband's shoe!!
Beautiful stunning day indeed! Awesome pics!
Those are fabulous pictures!
Thanks everyone! I have to say, our photographers were fabulous! We had also done a photo booth, and we can't wait to see the pics! The photographer was delayed in posting them since she was preparing a June bride's photos for her since her grandmother passed away and they wanted them for the funeral. Not sure if they'll also go on the blog. No one noticed the photo booth until after dinner and the first dance, and then there was a huge line for it!!
