AW post, if anyone is bored. (PIP heavy)

I started a post a couple hours ago, and it seems to have disapeared, so I'm trying again, this time, with PIP.

These are all low resolution screen shots (I haven't recieved the disk of images yet), so any border wouldn't be in the picture.

These first 4 are top contenders for being printed as an 11x14, I'm not sure which one to choose. If any of you all have opinions, please share!







And for good measure, these are just pics that I want to show off. :p They aren't in any particular order.

Part of our place setting. I'm disapointed the photographer didn't get pictures of any of the flowers, because they were beautiful. We had penguins at every table.

Headband was DIY.


And pics of our invites, just for good measure. They were completely DIY, we cut the paper, designed them, stamped them, etc, all ourselves. I'm glad we had a small wedding!!!





ETA- I just realized that you probably can't read the text around the invite, which is the best part.

"I love you this much, said the penguin. As far as my arms can reach out, and as far as they can reach up, and even farther than that.

 I will love you for longer then the longest river in the world, and longer than there is water for it to make its journey down the mountain and along the fields of the land down to the sea.

The love I have for you reaches up far higher than highest of all the mountains in all the world, stretching up even as high as the heavens up above the earth,

and my capacity to love you and to keep on loving you is bigger than the biggest of the oceans on the globe, deeper than its murkiest depths and even fuller of the most wonderful things than even the strangest of the seas that have been travelled by mariners since ancient times.

And my love is stronger than those sailors who traversed the stormy oceans, and more powerful than the waves that carried them between continents from wonder to curious wonder.

For you are my wonder. You are the treasure I sought for so long, and now that I have found you, I will wrap my arms around you and never let you go. For you complete me. We are two halves made into one whole, and I cannot, will not, live without you, said the penguin."

    [QUOTE]Great pics! I vote #2 for an 11x14.  I really like more candid pics that show emotion and you two have a nice laugh/smile in that one. Were you the one who was going to make the penquins out of olives and cream cheese?  if so, how did they turn out?

  • Thank you everyone! :) It was a lot of fun, and I miss doing all the crafty stuff. :p
  • #4 is my absolute favorite.  Love it.  I love your hair and headband, all your little details, the cakes...and you look awesome.
  • Nothing involving penguins could ever turn out less than awesome. Your invites are amazing! I think photo two is the cutest/sweetest but photo four is the most interesting, if you will.
  • Love #4.

    And I love the way that two tiered middle cake was decorated. Very pretty :)
  • Aw, I love that someone else is as nutzors about penguins as I am! You two are too cute!
  • I love #2 for the big pic I think, what an absolutely happy picture.  You look beautiful, and glowing, and all other great bride stuff.  Looks like you had a wonderful day.  Congrats.
  • Beautiful pics! I love #4
  • Your pictures are amazing! You are such a beautiful, happy, genuinely glowing bride!

    I vote #2 for the enlargement because of how adorable and happy you look, or #4 because the scenery would look awesome in a big size.

    I can't believe the details--amazing! Your wedding looks like it was so, so much fun.

  • Love all the pictures!  I can see why it's so hard to pick... If I had to pick one, I'd say #4.  It's stunning!  The other ones are really nice too though so I really don't think you can go wrong no matter which you end up with.
