Mark & Anna's wedding

Can you believe that it is Nov 1?  One would never think that with the weather we are having today.
Low 70's for Nov 1 - kind of unheard of but I'll take it.  It's short weather not long pants and coat weather.  But I'm sure it won't last.

Just a warning - this is a long post - lots of pictures to share.

So, today I thought I would share pictures from our son Mark's wedding.  First up is the wedding card I made.  A few months ago I purchased a new die set from Wild Rose Studio, and when I saw it on line I knew I wanted to use for their wedding card.  I computer generated their names and date, and then I used my MINC machine to gold emboss it. The rest is pretty much explanatory.



Mark would of loved to of had his Dad take all the pictures but he didn't think that was fair.  He wanted his Dad to enjoy the wedding rather than devote all his time to picture taking. But Bill was able to capture a few.  The wedding was on the grounds of Elsie Perrin Williams Estate, and the reception was inside.

And now for our all time favourite.  I just love how Bill did this one. Anna squealed when we showed them this one.


We are so blessed to have a wonderful Daughter-in-law along with Ethan  & James.  They call us Nana Pauline and Papa Bill - they are such sweet boys.

Thanks for your visit today, and hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Oh these are wonderful! That last one really is amazing and you did a great job on the father and son one. Love the vintage tones. The card is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I even knew Wild Rose made dies. Have to check them out. Hugs and congrats to you Nana!

Oh, yay, I've been waiting for these pictures and I'm so thrilled to see them! First, your card is breathtakingly gorgeous! It will have to go in a glass case and be preserved forever. Beautiful dies and flowers and paper. So perfect for the occasion. An absolute WOW!! Now... the wedding pictures. I'm glad Bill and you took a few so you can have them forever, too. Stunning photography! I love the black and white and, ohhhhh, the last one in sepia. What a beautiful setting and pose for that one. Probably one of their favorites of the whole bunch! Such a beautiful couple and the boys are darling. You have acquired a lovely family! And you in that dress -- wowie! I remember when you got it and how much you loved it. Now I see why! Love the accent at the waistline and the draping fabric. Gorgeous! These pictures are simply amazing and I thank you so much for sharing them. What a treat today!

Oh, what a gorgeous card. The die is stunning along with the colours and placement of your flowers and the vintage look of the paper. A perfect card for a beautiful couple. You have a wonderful family. What a couple of handsome boys too. It sure shows that you are proud and you are certainly blessed. The wedding pictures are lovely. Certainly love the B&W ones along with the sepia one. These pics are a lovely keepsake. Also love the picture of mother and daughter 😌 Thanks for sharing these special moments with us. Hugs
