Kelly's Tour---Receptions & Honeymoon (I added Engagement!) Pictures

Here are our engagement pictures (I just decided to throw them in because I don't think I've put many on the blog before). We got engaged here, at Chapel of the Cross, a historic church. We went here on our first date to walk around, and then Kurt proposed there as well :o) I think they turned out great! [Note: All engagement, wedding, and reception pictures by Barrett Photography.]







Here are some reception pictures.



Note: I had a "break-away" bouquet that I tossed, so that more than one person could catch flowers. It just so happened that my two sisters and my best friend caught them! Perfect!
No, we didn't have to rent that convertible....that belongs to my car-loving husband! It was so much fun to date in, but I get motion sick easily, so once we got married, I said I'd like to avoid riding in it. The things we do when we're dating! But doesn't it make for a great picture?! He loves that car dearly (but not as much as me or Evy....right Kurt? Right?).
And here are some honeymoon pictures. We went to Cancun, Mexico and stayed at the Royal Cancun Resort. My grandparents were so gracious to give us this gift of a relaxing, restful honeymoon. We really enjoyed ourselves! Kurt wanted a beachy, totally chill honeymoon, and I wanted New York City or Disney World! I got to go on "my" honeymoon last October (see my "Disney" label in the left column), and actually, a beachy honeymoon was just what we needed. It was awesome!!!







Come back and visit soon!

The engagement pictures are wonderful!
I have never heard of a "break-away" bouquet, but its a great idea!
A relaxing honeymoon sounds wonderful. Disney was great but slightly exhausting for a honeymoon. :)

I always loved your engagement photos!

Thank you so much for the encouraging comment about my breakup. I remember you telling me about your relationship before Kurt. It nice to know that you understand what I'm going through. I remember you telling me that it was the hardest decision you ever made, and boy, can I relate to that!

You ended up meeting Kurt, and I know there's someone better out there for me too!

Your engagement pictures are great - y'all both have such pretty eyes!

I love the "dripping" flowers at your reception - don't know what the right word for that look is, but I love how they cascade!

Sarah said...

I get car sick in my husband's car a little too - glad to know I'm not the only one. I haven't been able to keep up with all of the links prior to this week so I just saw your dress and it's beautiful!

You had a beautiful reception and I love the addition of the engagement photos. You must have some great photo albums.
The sand looks so warm. We do miss the beach since moving to Las Vegas.
