4. Beautiful ceremony!

I love the rings.

Congrats, my fellow wait-a-while-to-get-married guy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. Thank you, my dear Blue-Jay!

The rings were stunning!

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

5. Wonderful Peggy

I'm glad you got a shot of the rings. I was wondering how they came out. Gorgeous! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear BarenakedLady!

That was one of the few shots we'd talked about in advance!

I was really impressed with his work...

:hi:

[Callalily]

6. Puerco-bellies and Ali look

so happy. Wishing all the best to the newlyweds.

Thanks Peg for sharing these photos. Puerco-bellies explained in a thread the cornmeal ceremony. Now I'm curious about the circle.

It seems their ceremony was just jam-packed with symbolism. Must have been fascinating to be part of the celebration!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Simply Fugue!

The love was just pouring off them, the whole time!

I'm not familiar with the circle symbolism...

It was a real treat to watch it unfold!

Thank you for your compliments!

:hug:

[Jade Fox]

7. Love the rings....

Diamonds are so over-rated (and have such bad karma attached to them).

Congratulations!!!:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear Jade Fox...

P-b made them, and he is such an outstanding craftsman...

Thanks for coming by!

:hi:

Yesterday was just the formalization of the marriage that had existed for some time...

They will always be married...

So much love between them!

:hug:

[Eurobabe]

81. Very nice Peggy

we might renew our vows in Turks and Caicos (with my daughters) in July, I have no wedding photos, my camera had a roll of film in it that had been previously exposed in Paris, and when I took our wedding day pics (just the 2 of us and the justice of the peace, sheriff!) the best picture I got was my husband's beautiful face double-exposed on the Rose Window of Notre Dame. It was interesting to say the least!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. What a shame...

Do you take digital pics now?

You can't do double exposures with that...

Just another reason to love digital!

Take some when/if you renew your vows!

:hug:

[Eurobabe]

85. Yep, digital only now, that was in 1998

only 10 years ago, I was so sad that I cried when I got the developed photos back. I had waited 5 years to marry this man, and was so thrilled that we were actually doing it!! I am very envious of my friends who have professional photos -- but then half of them are now divorced, so... :shrug:

Will definitely make arrangements to get my friend's wedding dress and a tux for my man. My daughters can do the filming! :D

[AwakeAtLast]

49. What wonderful pictures!

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Awesome pics!!!!

I hope they are happy together, that is more of what this world needs!!!



"There are worlds beyond the worlds within which the explorer must explore. But there is one power which seems to transcend space and time, life and death. It is a deeply human power which holds us safe and together when all otherforces combine to tear us apart. We call it the power of love."

[siligut]

Thank you. And I will add that the third photo, well poignant and wonderful come up lacking.
