So... again, I'm going to have to briefly break the cycle of posting in order, because of a rather life-changing event that happened exactly a week ago. I'm sure you can guess from the title of this post where I'm going with this... Jacques and I finally tied the knot, after nearly 8 years together! And I couldn't resist not sharing the photos right now. So here goes!
First off, I was not expecting to get much in the way of pictures, because Jacques hates getting his photo taken, and I was a bit self-conscious about me in a dress (I am so
NOT a dress person!) but I have to say that I'm beyond happy with how they turned out. My sister-in-law took over the photography and she did such an amazing job, and got more pictures than I could ever have imagined!
This might turn into a rather long post, so bear with me! It's so difficult to narrow it down sometimes. Starting off, here are the "pre-ceremony" shots:

Final result! This is the best shot of the back of my hair. |
