the flip side

I really do want to post about the wedding since I want all the details recorded but that may have to wait for a bit.  I'm still so tired.  And, of course, I want to be able to show you some pictures but those won't be done for awhile.  I'll leave you with some pre-wedding stuff.

Here we are (super cheesy and then a little goofy) immediately after getting our marriage license.



Here are some of the flowers before my lovely bridesmaids, friends and I turned them into fabulous bouquets and arrangements.



And here is my frugal husband (whoa) watering our plants (see the watermelon?!) with leftover beer.  If you squint you can see his ring.  More to come...


And I guess I can send you to my photographer's blog post about my bridals.

LOVE the bridal portraits, my favorite one is in front of that red door thing with your veil all blowing up. And, the close-ups are awesome. You are indeed a beautiful bride.

Many congratulations! It was a great party, we were honored to be invited, and everything was just gorgeous, great job on all the projects and flowers!

Candace, you are a beautiful bride!! And, what a unique location for your pictures!! Joel B would really appreciate that. You look gorgeous - I can't believe you did your own flowers! I did my daughter's and that was hairy enough - I can't imagine the bride doing them!!! I wish you and sweet hubby all the best in life - the sweetest memories - and wonderful adventures together. And starting life together in your darling little house? how perfect is that?

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
