Having gone down a bit of memory lane with my photos and starting this series of Flashback Wordless Wednesdays, I had to include our wedding. I might have done this a bit backwards with showing our honeymoon last week, but I needed some cold weather inspiration. Therefore, the Bahamas was a necessity at that point.
But this week, as we are leading up to Valentine’s Day, I thought I would show you one of the most romantic days of my life, even if it was not necessarily in February just yet. On July 8, 2006, Kevin and I said, “I do” and will be coming up on our 7th wedding anniversary this year.
Sit back now and take a quick stroll down memory lane with a few photos from our actual wedding day. These are from before, during and right after the ceremony.
The above was one of my favorite photos, of my groom, who was just so casually waiting for my arrival at the church that day. Wasn’t he so handsome??
This was the moment I had been waiting for since I was a little girl. I admit that I was as bad as my own daughters, who want to be Cinderella and live happily ever after. I dreamed of my wedding day as a kid and couldn’t wait to walk down the aisle. So, I was truly on cloud nine, not only this whole day, but this moment in particular.
We Did It!!I absolutely love this photo. It was taken right after the mass was over. We were just married for only a few short minutes, but had already kissed about a dozen times for the camera man. This one though, I will never forget, because it was as if the world stood still for a few short moments while we kissed outside the church. The camera man got an awesome shot of it and loved the effect he put on it, as well.
Well, please stay tuned for next week, when I show more from our special day with some more pictures from the actual party/reception as we are indeed heading to Valentine’s Day.
Also, don’t forget to check out my awesome friend, Cyndi’s blog, Pictimilitude, who started this concept of Wordless or Word-ful Wednesdays.

You look absolutely beautiful π And I love the black and white and colour picture, I've never seen that done before! It's my wedding anniversary in 3 days time, 11 years!
Janine Huldie says
Oh Michelle, Happy Anniversary to you!! We will be married for 7 years in July and I still love looking at the pictures, because we truly had a magical and wonderful day!! π
Michelle G says
Thank you π Mine was the best day of my life too, I am truly blessed. (I didn't feel that blessed at 4am when I was kicking him because he was snoring though…) π
Janine Huldie says
Oh man sounds about right and similar to our bed at 4 am, lol!! Glad to hear that you too had a wonderful wedding day, too π π
erintheirishmama says
You looked gorgeous! Such beautiful pictures!!!!! I can't believe that I will be married 10 years this October…. When the kids come into the picture the years just fly by!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Erin and couldn't agree more that times flies with kids in the picture. It will be 10 years that Kevin and I met in July. Still can't believe that one!! π
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Steph!! π π
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Clark π π
Melanie Chisnall says
That picture made me smile…the one of the two of you kissing, actually they all did. So, so beautiful! And you looked gorgeous!! Such special memories. I also pull out my wedding photos and browse through them now and then. We're coming up for 6 years in April. Where has the time gone?!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so very much Melanie and I too am trying to figure out where the time went. We were engaged for over two years, because we were both still in grad school. Those two years seemed to drag when were we living them and planning for this one day, but now the day itself was almost 7 years ago!! Seriously, time is totally flying right by me!! And I too love looking at our photos from our wedding. I get truly sentimental π
Bill says
What great photos! You two look so young and happy. Your dad, on the other hand, looks like he was struck by lightning. LOL I'm sure he had some mixed emotions that day, like all fathers would.
Janine Huldie says
Lol, Bill. God it was only 7 years ago, but I so don't feel like young anymore. As for my dad, he truly was so happy that day, but I don't think he even realized the face he made!! He actually had a blast that night and was so happy and proud to be hosting this affair. I remember when I was on my honeymoon, my mom told me how much he missed me and how it was so weird not having me in the house anymore. Bittersweet I suppose π
Jane Marsh says
You guys look gorgeous!
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so very much Jane π π
Cyndi says
OMG that last photo is pure blissful photographic elegance. #awesomesauce. You're both so classy!!
Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks so very much Cyndi. We had an awesome photographer and the studio was pricy, but it was truly worth it, because the pictures they took were amazing and I have such a great album to go through to remember our day!! π
Kat Biggie says

Stacy Harris says
I love wedding photos. I once went along with a photographer and helped him with a wedding. It was so much fun seeing how he caught different pictures and created them! To cool… now I want to take a trip down memory lane! π
Janine Huldie says

gigigirl says
I remember it well! Great memories and thanks for sharing.
Janine Huldie says
My pleasure to share and glad you remember our day with good memories!! π π
Janine Huldie says
Richard, you just made me laugh so hard I was crying. Seriously, my father believe it or not was the one who wanted us to move in and share the house, but back in the day I was a total hell raiser in my youth and he still likes to tell me that I am lucky I lived to tell the tale, lol!! Thanks again Richard for the laugh tonight!! π
Ruchira says
