and now i have a husband.

We did it! We tied the knot on Saturday, July 17. It was perfect. Unfortunately, I have NOT ONE photo of us in our wedding attire, so bug this gal to get those pictures here asap.

Since I was trying to be sneaky about the dress from when I got it a year and a half ago and since Winter took my photos in January, I thought I would post some of those bridals now. Most of you have already seen them, though.  I will post more details about the wedding later. Enjoy!

Here are some more bridals from the workshop.

Wow. I don't think I could feel any more vain than I do right now. Anyway, I wanted to give props and thanks to all of the photographers who took/shared awesome photos at Blushbybk's workshop back in March. I had so much fun and (as you can see) am very proud of the photos that came out of it. And now the dress is no longer a secret. I LOVED this dress. I got it from here, and with the help of my gramma, a few small alterations made it perfect. Chris mouthed to me during our ceremony, "You look so pretty...I love your dress," so I'm thinkin' it was a hit. The heavy silk made it durable yet flowy. Perfect for me.

i love mountain air

This is where we're getting married (but think summertime):

 

 

 

(our ceremony will be outside in the meadow, then dancing in this room afterward)

I really hope for people to be bustin' moves like this. We've rented the entire inn for the day and night, so I expect a little alcohol to be consumed.

 The area is surrounded by mountains, creeks and natural hot springs--along with millions of lush trees.

Photo credit for this beautiful wedding goes to Opie Photo. I found them when I googled our wedding venue in Midway, UT. I love the way they shot it; but I have to say, I am very (really) SUPER excited for the photographers shooting our wedding. Brooke, from Blush Photography and my best friend Winter with Piper Pix, will BOTH be there to take some photos, have some BBQ and party it up. I really can't wait.

I need to get my dress altered and ready to go for AZ in 3 weeks. Winter lives there and will be shooting some bridals--desert style. Here are some of my favorite desert shots of Winter (taken by Blush last year):

 

AMAZING

So, I'm not generally a traditional person (you may already guessed this!) but I'm also not anti-tradition. There will be no special cake-cutting ceremony, bouquet toss or HUGE reception--but I am holding firm to keeping the dress a secret (mostly because Chris wants it to be a surprise, and I think that's cute). I got it from J. Crew MONTHS ago. Can you guess which one I picked? http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WeddingParties/Wedding_Bride/gowns.jsp

Dare ya to try! (If you're that interested/curious/whatever, send me an email (crystalross306@msn.com) and I will send you a picture, so long as you swear on your grandma's grave not to show my man.)
