<\/p>\nA bright and sunny afternoon in March 2014.<\/p>\n
This wedding dress has some serious plans for today, and is feeling a little impatient playing the waiting game.<\/p>\n
No worries, its wearer will arrive any moment now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Let there be no mistake whose wedding dress this is!<\/p>\n

These goldfish have never seen better looking rings floating on a lily pad (or anywhere), and arrive for a better view.<\/p>\n

Bride’s and groom’s wedding shoes. \u00a0It’s my party, and I’ll wear sneakers if I want to. (More photographs later.)<\/p>\n

Kids enjoy a wedding as much as anyone else. They might not understand everything that is going on, but they get the general idea.<\/p>\n
Everything is relative. And relatives make everything \u00a0fun and meaningful.<\/p>\n

You might not know it from these photos, but our bride has one terrific voice! A little guitar accompaniment from the husband, and these two will be making great music together for decades to come, or so we hope and pray.<\/p>\n

What could be better? Not only are you<\/em> happier than you ever dreamed possible… your family is also tickled pink!<\/p>\n But now we are on to a different venue, the Noveau Antique Art Bar.<\/p>\n Our exceptionally musical couple here enjoy singing Karaoke with the crowd.<\/p>\n Gotta love those Tiffany lamps!<\/p>\n From their first manufacturer circa 1895, these lamps were individually hand made, and each one is unique, just like snowflakes. (But what would a Houstonian know about snowflakes?)<\/p>\n Our bride throws the bouquet — an ancient tradition that requires no explanation.<\/p>\n They vie to catch the bouquet. Fate will bestow upon the winner untold happiness and riches.<\/p>\n These celebrants strike a slightly more serious pose. But only by a bit.<\/p>\n Good thing we have high ceilings!<\/p>\n I really do prefer black and white, actually, but in color sometimes life does look a lot more… \u00a0colorful! (And the Tiffany lamps, especially.)<\/p>\n Everybody loves a party. You almost forget how many challenges we face the rest of the time.<\/p>\n Our heartfelt best to Katherine and Dave for a happy life together. \u00a0True love doesn’t happen only in fairy tales, you know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A bright and sunny afternoon in March 2014.<\/p>\n This wedding dress has some serious plans for today, and is feeling a little impatient playing the waiting game.<\/p>\n No worries, its wearer will arrive any moment now.<\/p>\n Let there be no mistake whose wedding dress this is!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4558,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/amalyaphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/0015-20140322-IMG_5162.jpg\")
