A little over a week later…

We had a wonderful time at our wedding and reception and we’re grateful for all of you who shared the day with us whether in person or in spirit.

While the professional photographs from the ceremony are being processed, we have a few snapshots from our guests to share including this shot from my brother, Jay.

Also available for your viewing and ordering pleasure are snapshots from:

Leslie & Dan

Sue & Dan

We’ll also be putting together a CD of photos after we get the pro’s photos and others from our friends and family and we’ll send copies to everyone who would like one.

All Together Now

The final pieces are in place. Part of the wedding favors arrived today from my brother, Chuck, who is one hell of a baker. We’ll be incorporating his contribution into the favors tonight and we’ll bring the favors to the reception restaurant tomorrow so they can be placed on the appropriate tables on Saturday.

And my cousin, Tricia, created a stunning red and gold purse for PJ to use at the reception to make her load a bit lighter for the day.

I do hail from a very creative family and am very thankful for that and for these handmade additions to our special day.

Weekend Weather Update

Ever want to experience one of the Phoenix area’s world famous haboobs (massive dust storms) in person? Well, you might just get your wish.

The latest forecast is for possible blowing dust Friday night with isolated thunderstorms throughout the day both Friday and Saturday.

A few of words of caution about this. Our thunderstorms tend to be very violent though they don’t often last long. There may be a lot of rain, thunder and lightning, and heavy winds for a short period of time. The temperatures generally don’t drop a lot during our storms. And people here are incredibly stupid drivers when it rains.

Also, the Antique Wedding House’s parking lot is a dirt lot. Most of the time this doesn’t cause any problems, but if it’s windy or rainy… well, you can see there might be some issues with dust and mud.

When we booked this wedding we knew that outdoor photos might be an issue due to the heat. Seems Mother Nature has decided to throw a bit more into the mix as well, so if you’re bringing a camera make sure the flash is working and, if you have the option, keep your aperture wide open and boost the ISO to 400 or higher.

See you all in a couple of days. Keep safe and dry!
