The first pictures of Morgan and Solomon's wedding!

I'm slowly recuperating from all the planning, organization, and busyness surrounding the wedding.  I had planned to start posting pictures in another day or two, but even as tired as I am, I can take a hint!!  I just looked at my "site meter" and apparently a LOT of people have been checking in to the blog to find out about the wedding.  They may not post replies very often, but they're definitely checking in!!  So without further ado, here are some photos of the day.  Many of these are actually "stills" taken from the video our videographers took, so they are a bit grainy and fuzzy, plus they've not been edited yet; others were taken by friends, so not always the best quality, but definitely beautiful, nonetheless.  When the professional pictures start showing up (probably around Wednesday), I'll make sure to post those or a link to them.  In the meantime, enjoy these!!

It's a loooong way down that aisle....

Finally reaching the front of the church

Prayer to begin ceremony; soloist Mark Cobb waiting behind minister to sing

After a message to the couple by Pastor Sebek and taking of vows, rings were exchanged.  Unfortunately, Solomon had been holding Morgan's hands so tightly, her fingers were starting to swell, making it difficult to get the ring on!!

Finally, SUCCESS!!!  Yesssss!!!  High five's all around!  It made everybody laugh!!

"I now pronounce you husband and wife......"

"You may kiss your bride!"

So happy!

One of my favorite pictures of the day that I've seen thus far, taken by my friend, Toshi Baer! You can see a lot of the flowers -- and look at the smiles!!

Walking back UP the aisle seems so much faster!!
