Favorite Wedding Photos

The third time was the charm. The third disc of photos that my son sent had all the wedding photos, and I could see all of them, and with technical tips from my daughter I was able to download them onto my computer. Even with all the albums my son has created on FaceBook and the slide show the photographer posted online, there were many photos I had not yet seen. It was a treat to go through them one by one. I was struck by how happy everyone looks ~ the kind of happiness that comes from inside and cannot be a product of posing or pretense. Of all the hundreds of photos, these are my favorites:

The groom and his groomsmen ~


The bride and her bridesmaids ~



Married ~
Ready to take on the world ~

Dancing with the groom ~
The Maine Mitchells ~
My brothers, sister, mom, and me ~
My three bright spots ~

Persistence pays off! So glad you now have all the photos...precious memories of a special weekend that you can review and enjoy as the years go by.

Lovely photos of such a happy day. I wonder if the photo delay was actually perfect timing? I love moments of happy reflection a a cold day- thanks for sharing.

Radiant, dear Sharon! That is all I can think of when I look at these beautiful photos! Radiant and joy-filled! Such a wonderful event. I love the picture of you dancing with your son. There is actually a ethereal glow around the two of you. To me, it signified the special bond that you have with your son. So precious. The dresses came out fabulous! I loved them when i saw the photo of them on the hangers, but they fit both you and your daughter perfectly! You are quite the seamstress!

Thank you so much for sharing a bit of that very special day. May the bride and groom enjoy years and years of good health, happiness and lots of love!

Hugs and love,
Debbie

Love your gown! These wedding photos capture the joy so well. I love the bride and bridesmaids in the middle of the street. And your son's big smile when he's dancing with Mom.
