Our First Wedding, Rochester-Style!!



When Dave and I first got married, it was a total surprise to me!! We were engaged, but I didn't think we'd be getting married quite when we did. Those of you who know me already know the entire story, and it's very, very romantic! Here we are at our first wedding day. It was VERY casual, and we were married by a Justice of the Peace (our elaborate wedding ceremony and reception would follow one year later, to commemorate our first year together, and allow for all our family and friends to celebrate with us, since they couldn't be there for our first wedding). Pictured here on our FIRST wedding day are (back row) my brother-in-law Steve, my hubby Dave, myself, my sister-in-law Janice, and my niece Danielle. Front row are my step-sons Piercen, Connor and Cameron. Steve and Janice were witnesses for us that day! The second picture is of Dave and I on the first day of offically being married. We spent a few days down in Ellicottville, NY. It was a nice way to unwind after the initial surprise of the wedding!!



Dave's entire family threw us a HUGE celebration party about two weeks after we were married. It was a total surprise, and talk about hilarious! Here are some pictures to prove it. They all got dolled up in their old prom dresses (even dressed the dog, Rascal) and made me wear this funky veil. The second picture is of my wonderful niece Danielle, my sis-in-law Dee, and myself.



Dave is just having too much fun, HA! We were toasted by the end of the evening. And here is Janice and her daughter Danielle once again.
