Well, this weekend, Virginia and I got married. The event was wonderful, went off with no problems... we had a GREAT time, everyone who was involved made everything run so smoothly that we didn't have to think about anything except our bliss!
Here's a link to the pictures Picasa Web Albums - Aaron - Our Wedding W...
These were actually all taken the day after the wedding... so, VA's hair isn't done ... and I obviously wasn't wearing those clothes / shoes for the wedding... but, we don't have the pictures from the photographer yet, so these are just the fun shots we took the day after... we always thought it was a shame that the bride gets to wear her dress for just 1 day, and then it lives on a hanger forever.... so, we decided to get Virginia into her dress for another day after the wedding, and go around to some interesting places back home....
Some other interesting things we did.... no DJ. I ran all of the music off of an iPod Touch... my best man Jon (Ratjag here on the forum) has some primo sound equipment, so we just plugged the iPod in, and let it go... I may post up the playlist if there's any interest in that, but all of the guests (160 or so) stayed rather happy, and the dance floor was packed all night. During cocktail hour, we had a live bluegrass band playing from the Rockbridge County area.... We brought up our beer from here in Boone, A local brewery makes Appalachian Ale, so we brought something that the majority of the guests couldn't get anywhere else... for the wine, we got local Rockbridge Vineyards wine, so it was a taste of Boone for the Beer, and a Taste of Rockbridge County for the wine... we thought it'd be a treat for all of the out of town guests instead of just getting the same wine and beer that they could get anywhere.... more details are sure to come as others ask questions and whatnot, and I'll be getting around to making a blog post after things around here have calmed down a little bit.....
