Today is 2 years since I married my best friend Grant Short! I thought to commemorate, I would share some of my very favorite shots from that memorable day, and a couple from our Trash the dress a few months later. You can see previous posts about my wedding and more images here, here, here and here. It was the very best day of my life by far and everything went perfectly without a hitch. I could not have been more thrilled. We had our first dance to this song....
All photos taken by the incredibly talented Jennifer of Luna Dulce Photography and Diana of LifeLight Image Studios! Have an awesome Tuesday everyone. Now back to work and looking forward to some yummy dinner tonight ^_^
I love these photos so much and am thankful for Jennifer and Diana for taking them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The photography is absolutely amazing and I'm in love with how beautiful you look. Wow!! And your little tea party dress is what I want my bridesmaids to wear if I ever get married. Also, what's a trash the dress party? Sounds bad ass.

Trash the dress is where your photographer takes you out at a later date and you get all dressed up in your wedding attire and take fun, crazy pictures you wouldn't normally do on the wedding day!

Shut up! (sorry, I had to) An instrumental version of that very same Muse song was playing as my bridesmaids walked down the aisle. :)
LOVE Muse, they are amazing!

Oh gawd, congratulations! You two looked amaaazing! I must admit, I didn't know that you were married (I know, I'm the newbie on here, oooh, hides).
How come you married "so young"? Do people ask you that question a lot?
Yeah, job search is still going on ... I guess it's a "you have to be at the right place at the right time" kind of thing, and I'm such an impatient person!
Somehow the best bands come to Vienna in Autumn to play concerts, I don't know why it's unpopular to have concerts in Spring?

:) Thank you :)

Well we weren't all that young ( I look a lot younger than I am), but we had talked about it for a long time and we had every intention of getting married. We both had stable full time jobs, I had just graduated college and the timing was perfect for us! I used to get so irritated because people would give me crap about us being too young and that it wouldn't last, but I think the foundation you start your marriage on is what counts. We had our priorities straight before we got married. And I've never been happier :)

umm, your dress is so elaborately beautiful!!!! happy two years! :)
