The wedding: shots of the blindfolds, ceremony, and hugs

By popular demand, we continue with the parade of photos from the wedding. Below each one, you'll see where the item came from; if there's no price indicated, it was donated or bartered for. These great detail shots, all the shots in this post, are by Laura Elizabeth Photography, who we can't thank enough! This post has just under a hundred shots, of the blindfolded gift exchange, the ceremony, and the receiving line...and there's still tons more photos to be seen!

And hey, if you're missing our wordier posts, hop on over to our new blog, Project: Priceless--the NEST, where we're blogging the newlywed experience, complete with a job loss, a melting apartment floor, and cooking attempts. You'll love it.
