1 Year

A year ago this week (July 22nd) - Phil and i got married here in my hometown in MA.

We've had a wonderful first year together - and i am especially thankful for my husband and the joy, friendship and gentleness he's brought to my life. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from our wedding day.

Though it is traditional for the groom to hold/carry his bride - in this instance, he flatly refused. He was dreadfully ill, and could hardly stand - So, my baby brother took the load for this picture - notice he's the only one holding me (you can see the strain in his face) - the rest of the guys are merely pretending...and wondering why they have to do this. Thanks, boys!

And here we have unwilling-Phil catering once again to his new wife's weirdo wishes - it was funny, alright?


Thank you, Jenn DeAtley, again - a thousand times - for letting me wear your dress! Everytime anyone sees these pictures, they comment on my good taste in a dress - and i always get to share that i borrowed from you - therefore it is you who has the good taste. :0)

And thank you, Phil for your love - You have graced my life with so much more than i ever thought possible for a girl like me.

love ya,
