**  BTW, 9 days later, our streets are still a disaster.  I have not driven my car yet (thank you, SEPTA!) and thinks that Mayor Nutter forgot that Fishtown and South Philly exist.  **

ANYWAY!!!

The wedding couple completely understood and did, indeed, have a local friend photographer that was able to make it for the rest of the wedding.  I had only planned to be there for about an hour.  If I was to be their only photographer for the day, I would have skied there for sure!  Word is that it was a beautiful wedding and that mostly everyone was able to make it.  The birthday party was rescheduled and I am looking forward to that next week!

Anyway, being that I was looking forward to the wedding and birthday party, I decided to do a few “detail” photographs in my backyard with some details from my recent wedding.  Anyway, here are the results!
I love that my shoes were called “Melissa”.  

and also that they had big red hearts….

for our wedding, we made 1,000 paper cranes.  my Mom then got me these beautiful and unique crane earrings from ETSY (sorry don’t know the seller as they were a gift!).  they are handmade and folded silver.  really beautiful and thoughtful.  i love these and wear them often!

a set of  my Grandmom’s pearls.  I, apparently, love the way pearls look on snow.  don’t you?

just an fyi:  this was on snow that was over 2 feet high.  at one point, they started sinking into the snow.  i had to dig them out. shhhhh, don’t tell my husband!

i also love pearls in trees….

yes, my engagement ring was a surprise and yes, my husband designed this one himself….. i love it!
