Paige came back into the chapel. She had been watching for the Bishop to signal that he was ready to begin.

"They are ready to begin, Dad."
Picture
Picture
"Finally!"
Picture
"The choir has started singing, and it's time for us to go in."
Picture
"So, are you ready? This is your last chance to back out, if you are having any second thoughts."
Picture
Picture
"Yes, I'm sure.  I love Baron with all my heart."
Picture
Paige and Fay picked up her veil...
Picture
Picture
..and Naomi covered her face, and took Lawrence's arm..
Picture
"I'm ready."
Picture
"Well then, here we go..."
Picture
Picture
Nami led the way...
Picture
Picture
As they started towards the Great Hall....

Again, the realism you create with these photos is amazing. You can feel the excitement and anticipation as well as the tnderness of the moment.

Ringo, as usual, adds his touch of humor to even the most solemn moments.

I am really enjoying this series of photos and look forward to each new day's episode!

Thank you! I had to create the side chapel on my dining room table, and try and match the feel of the cathedral itself.

I'm just going slowly through the entire wedding story. There are so many great photos that I don't want to share them all too quickly. So, just one small step at a time.

Tomorrow the procession enters the cathedral, and that's when the really impressive photos start.

Did you build the side room? I love the arches and pillars. Gorgeous procession.

Yes, I put together the side chapel at home. I needed some place for the bridal party to be before the ceremony. I had made the styrofoam arch unit to fit into the tops of my three styrofoam pillars. It was used in Miho's garden for the formal portraits and reception, and I thought it would help tie in the side chapel to the actual cathedral.

Then I used the same floor covering as in the cathedral scenes, and lit some candles...and it looked pretty good.

OMG!!!
Fantastic!!! Love it!! And although you showed us all the flower girl dresses a while back, I have to coment on howco-ordinated their dresses are on their own as well to each other. I'm charmed. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.

Yes, it makes total sense. I wanted all the dresses to be blue, but not identical, since they'd be more useful in the future that way.

It is wonderful to see Naomi's first steps towards the rest of her life.

The children look so pretty in their dresses and Mr. Ringo looks handsome.

The King is, of course, regal.
