{our wedding day, part II}

thank you all so much for your sweet comments on my last post  :)
and for those of you who asked, the bridesmaids were from anthropologie.
i really wish i had gotten one for myself - i still adore them.
they were a really popular style that sold out pretty fast, which is why
(long story short) my sister (also my MOH) ended up
wearing an entirely different dress.

the reason joel & i appear to be the same heights in these photos is that i for some reason
decided to wear heels on our wedding day, even though i never, ever wear heels.
word of advice to you future brides :: WEAR FLATS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!!
my feet were bleeding by the end of the night! although i barely noticed the pain
because i was on cloud 9 the whole day. i swear i have never smiled so much.









man i love this guy. we are leaving early tomorrow for saugatuck 
(an artsy little beach town on the west coast of michigan) to celebrate our anniversary.
i am so looking forward to getting away, just me and my man.
we always have so much fun on road trips.

hope you are able to spend some time with loved ones this memorial day weekend!
i'll be sharing the last bit of photos while we're away.
and i'm sure i'll have some new ones to share once we return :)

Adorable! And I totally agree about the shoes. I never wear heels either and knew that I would feel awkward all day if I were any taller and closer to Joe's height in pictures. haha So, I definitely wore flats and even switched to gold flip flops by the time we got to the reception. Much easier to dance in, too!
