Arriving early in the morning before the heat became too intense.
This was a notepad holder bought at Marshall's. We removed the notepad from the box and made a cutout for the rings. It closed magnetically and was the perfect size for the boy's hands.
My bouquet was filled with delicate purple and blue flowers and was very beautiful.
I tried to raise butterflies on my own..turns out it is not so easy when you need them to be ready for a major event at a specific time..like your wedding. One monarch of mine emerged in time for the wedding, the rest of the butterflies were purchased the day before from a farm in Bradenton..with my order being placed a month before. The remaining butterflies that I raised were released in my butterfly garden at our new home.

Releasing the butterflies in the garden where we had our ceremony. Bok Tower in the background.
This was taken at Pinewood Estate on the Bok Tower property. It is one of my favorites of us.
I put this on Facebook and lot of people seemed to like this photo of me. The one right after is me smiling with my mouth open. I don't like my teeth, I have a large gap in between the two front teeth, which are also large. I also prefer pictures with my mouth closed!
This was on Pinewood Estate property also and I asked to have our picture taken here..I loved this opening in front of a fountain.
