Last set of pics... I promise! :D

This time, they're of downtown. It was so nice to get out and be able to be creative on something other than wedding stuff!

I actually took this pic through the spyglass thingies by the science museum. You can just see the tops of the steamboat. I'm shocked it actually turned out!

When Shaun got done inhaling every little bit of his chili dog, his only comment was, "MMmmhmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm!" He vows that it is one of the best chili dogs he's ever had. And from a streetside vendor! He was impressed. Can't you just see the look of bliss on his face? Haha.

Rice Park. And the Ordway Center. And the stand (Otto's) where I got some
awesome kettle corn.

F U Nature!

So... after we set up our bank accounts, we decided to look at the ice sculptures. They were melting, and a lot had fallen off. But they were still beautiful. If there's a lot to look at, I apologize. The sparkle of the sun through them was irresistible. So I entitle this post 'F U Nature!' because it shouldn't be nearly 50 degrees in January.

When I turned around to take a pic of the log cabin sculpture, the goose literally melted apart. Right behind me.

Heat + Ice sculptures = disaster.

Graituitous Kitten Pics

It's been a while since I've posted any, so here's some. I had to cut out a couple of the best ones. Guess why, Sarah*!

Aww! Shnuggles!

Steeeretch!

What is that thing you're sticking in my face?!?!

My take on the wedding

Ok, so it was a good time. I already said that. There were only a few things that I wish had gone differently. Like, getting a card with a handwritten message from Shaun. {I got him one, and some cufflinks. We agreed to not get gifts, but said nothing about cards. I knew I wouldn't get one anyway - he's not the kind to think of that kind of thing. :*( } Or gotten to talk to my guests more. But all the 'old married' ladies on the knot.com all said that that doesn't really happen anyway. And - what happened to the chicken parmesean? I don't think that that was... but oh, well - it still tasted good!

The photographer was amazing!!! When he asked us if we were taking a limo to the reception site (was the 10 minute drive worth $500? I don't think so...) and we said no, we're taking Shaun's nastay ol car, he offered to let us drive his. What is his ride? An Escalade! Haha. In that beautiful pearl white, too! Then he even put gas in Shaun's car so we wouldn't have to worry about it after the reception. Above and beyond, most definitely!

Not too impressed with the hotel, though. Everyone got told a different time about the shuttle bus. But luckily Shaun's dad took charge of the situation and told them what's what so all the guests that needed to use it got on it. Yay! :)

And now, for some pictures: (They're all from Cory, so that's why he's in so many...!)

Me and my dad dancing... he was so nervous. I could tell how red his face was from the table he was sitting at!!!

Cory and I dancing :)

"I will."

Smiling at each other because we got the dip in the right place!

Our grand entrance

Free beer + college students = drinking games.

Phew!

It's all done and over with... and now I'm going through some withdrawal... but mostly I'm happy it's done! Everyone I've heard from had a great time and I know I did! Nothing like going through McDonald's drive through wearing your wedding dress! haha! Anyway, I might be heading up to H-town tomorrow so I might not get a good post up until tomorrow evening, but it's coming! Thank you all!!!!
