Ok, so it is really hard to blog your own wedding. REALLY HARD. At least it is for me. Maybe that’s why this post took me two years to write. But in honor of my two year wedding anniversary (today!) I am finally going to share my wedding (in case you didn’t see it here on Style Me Pretty, or here on The Knot). It is actually really fun to go back and pour through all of your wedding photos two years later – I think it should be a yearly tradition, although I promise not to blog it yearly 🙂
Jonathan and I were married on August 29, 2009, 14 years and 28 days after our first date, in Palos Verdes, California. To start, here are the getting ready and pre-ceremony portrait photos (all by our wedding photographer Jennifer Roper):
The morning of my wedding was so calm and relaxing. I stayed by myself in our hotel the night before and got some much needed rest (thank you Ambien!) I woke up and my mom and bridesmaids came and hung out and we ate breakfast and started getting ready together. We had our hair and makeup done in my suite by the ladies of Flawless Faces. My sweet husband sent me a card and wedding gift (a skeleton key necklace from Tiffany & Co). I had a perfect pre-wedding morning!
You can find more on posts for the ceremony and the reception, plus the DIY + paper goods, or everything in one place here.
Such a gorgeous wedding and beautiful bride! I can’t wait to see the rest 🙂
Your dress was stunning and you made such a pretty bride, Chandra! I’m drooling over the details!
Such a perfect day.
Oh, and at least you’ve shared your wedding! I have yet to do that!
It’s definitely on my things to do, but like you said, it’s hard! I have like 6,000 images that I have to weed through 🙂
xo, chrissy

First off, happy anniversary. I also got married on the 29th, only it was the 29th of December. Second…have I mentioned today that you are stunning? Seriously gorgeous. And I love the description of the morning of your wedding. Mine was much like that too…so lovely!
I knew you were beautiful, but this is just, I mean, WOWZAS. Eyes popping out kind of beautiful 🙂 And the Fern is one of my top 10 fave dresses. Love your style, doll 🙂
What a gorgeous Bride you are! Loving these photos. Can’t wait to see the rest of your wedding 🙂
