Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: I Do

February 21, 2011

As I got to the fireplace which was our altar, I took Mr. Socks’ hands and didn’t let go the whole ceremony long until we read our vows.  I have to admit, though I tried to concentrate on every word of the ceremony, there were about a million things going on in my head that [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: The Ceremony Begins

February 16, 2011

After we were finished with our bridal party photos, we high-tailed it back to Ladder 15 where our guests had started to arrive. Unfortunately, we didn’t really have a plan to keep me hidden from our guests’ view as I waltzed in the front door, so most of our guests saw me walk in and [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: An Interlude

February 14, 2011

I just want to pause before I dive into the rest of my wedding recaps, because here is where things get a little hard for me. It’s been 4 months since our wedding day, and the sting has mostly lessened for both me and Mr. Socks in regard to how his family treated us that [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Last Moments Alone

February 9, 2011

After I finished being a sassy-pants, Mr. Socks and I walked a little more around Old City in Philadelphia to get some more shots of the two of us!  We posed on someone’s steps… Mr. Socks: I am reflecting deeply upon the journey I am about to take with Mrs. Socks.  Or I just think [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Show me Sassy

February 7, 2011

Somewhere inbetween battling the cobblestone streets in heels and making sure my lips didn’t permanently pucker from all the smoochy-faces I was giving Mr. Socks, our photographer Georgi Anastasov got in some pretty awesome shots of us! Mrs. Socks:  I’m going for the classic romance novel cling here, you know? Mr. Socks: I don’t think [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Philly Struttin’

February 2, 2011

After our formal portraits, the bridal party all climbed into a 14 passenger van we had rented to drive us around to our photo locations.  We decided to take our pictures in Old City, which is the historic part of Philadelphia.  I was a little nervous about the cobblestone streets in my heels, so I [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Formal Portraits

January 31, 2011

Right after our first look, we made our way two blocks from the hotel to Rittenhouse Square for our formal portraits.  I was a little nervous about having our pictures taken at Rittenhouse since it’s a fairly bustling area, full of people, dogs, and sometimes unpredictable homeless people.  We pressed on anyway, and though we [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: First Look

January 27, 2011

It was finally time to do our first look!  Our photographer Georgi picked out a place in our hotel where we could do it without a lot of other people around.  Originally, he wanted it to just be me and Mr. Socks, but I knew Momma Socks would just DIE if she didn’t see what [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: You’ve Got Mail!

January 25, 2011

I always loved the idea of Mr. Socks and I writing letters to each other on our wedding day, just so we could keep them and remember how excited and happy we were on our wedding day.  Plus, I was kinda just in love with the idea of getting a love letter on my wedding [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Bridal Shots

January 20, 2011

It feels weird to have a post exclusively dedicated to photos of me, but there are quite a few portraits of me , so I suppose they have to be documented (insert exasperated fake sigh here). I’ll keep it short. Looking at these photos do make me glad that I ended up with a bouquet [...]

Dressed to the Nines, Married on the Tens: Details

January 18, 2011

While we were getting ready, our photographer Georgi took some wonderful shots of some of the details we spent so long putting together! Our personalized stickers that I made and put on our out of town boxes. Our wedding bands were patiently waiting in their little paloma’s nest bowl. My shoes were ready to hit [...]
