Okay, I’m going to be posting like crazy today! ๐
Wedding Week continues today with pictures from our Wedding Ceremony.ย

I’ve got a awesome new giveaway up where you can win a “Mother is Love” necklace from the Etsy shop EmiliniaBallerina that I posted yesterday.

Okay, day two of wedding week! Today will be pictures from our ceremony.
For our wedding ceremony we decided that we wanted to do something outside. We originally thought we wanted to go somewhere like the beach or Disney World. But we decided to do it at home and I’m so glad we did. We didn’t want to get married in a church. We looked all over St. Louis, from wineries to parks. We finally decided on Carondelet Park.ย
We got married on Boathouse Lake, on a small pagoda on the lake.ย

Congratulations on your wedding! The pictures turned out beautifully!
Mrs. Mother says
Awww, I love the photos. And, like you I never think bad about rain at special events, especially since I heard the song "Holes in the Floor of Heaven." I don't know if you've ever heard it or not, but the lyrics say,
"'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and her tears are pourin' down
that's how you know she's watchin'
wishin' she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
just remember she can see
there's holes in the floor of Heaven
and she's watchin' over you and me."
I love, love, love this song, and the meaning of it. I am your newest follower, and I hope you will follow me, too.

in the philippines, rain (or even a slight drizzle) is considered a sign of good things to come. elders call them blessings from above ๐

Julie Breck says
Hello! I am thinking of having my wedding at the boathouse. How much and through who did you get the chairs? Did you enjoy the experience? Beautiful Photos!
Sippy Cup Mom says
Hey Julie!
We rented the chairs through Weinhardt, they came and set them up and everything and picked them up too. We absolutely loved getting married there! It was very cheap to rent the time through St. Louis County Parks and I just loved the setting. Let me know any questions you have!
