I have to let the camera cool before I see how pictures came out but many asked for this so here it is. I snapped this when the soldier and Vid went to pick up Quirky Aquarian a couple hours before the wedding. :)

hey, hey pretty lady! 

You look radiant:) What a beautiful love story...I'm happy you found your way back to each other. Man, the Universe is a mysterious place. I love it!

beautiful beautiful beautiful

Oh my - You are so RADIANT!! Love your bouquet too. And the dress.

:::tearing up at the joy in your face:::

congrats again!

GORGEOUS!!  And you got the flowers too.....

I did. And the soldier wore a red rose per his request "because I'm getting married."  he removed it the moment we left the chapel, LOL.

What a sweetheart!

Beautiful!!! You are actually GLOWING!!!

Was he grinning from ear to ear when you left the chapel too? 

Gorgeous! Radiant!

We were both incredibly happy as was the rest of the team. Exhilarated. 

Oh my God, you look stunning.  The happiness is jumping off the screen.  Attire-wise, I can tell that dress was a dream and the red lip is chic as hell.  Congratulations again!  Man I'd love to see how Vid and QA were duded up, too. :)

Thanks, you guys.  Jessica, I called Annalisa to ask about the lipstick. I usually go muted but decided to go all out Italian and we did look like mafia walkin' into that chapel. har har.

The soldier was telling jokes the whole way. He was really nervous I'd bolt so trying to divert my attention. We had the kids in the car and he was funny as hell. He was yelling to other cars... full of gang-bangers no less ' Hey! I got my gang right here. We're the suit and tie gang!" he yelled. The boys roared and he glanced at me and down at his boutonniere. 'We're flower gang, son of a bitches and we run this road here. That's right. Suit and tie gang'll kick your ass!"

I'll tell you what else he did, very sweet and thoughtful and helpful. He kept a hand on me the whole time. I don't mean when you face each other and hold hands.

I mean he kept his hand on my elbow the whole time steadying me. GO TAURUS!!!!!!!!!

"This is the big score for you isn't it?" I asked on the way.

"P, this is the motherlode."

Too funny...  The ride to the chapel must have been a hoot.. and you look marvelous!

Lovely!! bless you both

"I was thinking, I just want to get out of there with P as my wife..."

I wish I could explain what a trauma all this is to me but I'd never be able to do it justice.

Hi Elsa..whatever the trauma, whatever the side issues around you at this time, you look so beautiful as a bride. I so hope it was a lovely day for you and that you soaked in all of the warmth and love and caring around you and felt good in the moment.It just looks like your soul is aglow. Bless you for sharing something so personal, it's a privilege to see those gorgeous photos. Love shines from you xxx

So beautiful!  You and the story.  I'm so happy for you. 

You're a beautiful bride Elsa! :)

:) ((elsa))

And by the way, whatever is wrong with me in those pictures (and I would not know) - I am telling you, that is as normal as I get and I got that way by Annalisa sending me a dress and dictating flowers. :)

This is not something I could do alone, I'll tell you that.

Ah, so epic! Congratulations my dear, you're lovely and you deserve every bit of happiness. The red lip is great too... I'm glad you decided to go old-school; it looks smashing on you.

Way to show us all it really is possible to live the dream- Libra power, baby

Gorgeous!

Beautiful!

I'm happy that the dream has come true for both you. I know I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the post that you were married.

tam, me too! "they did it!" hooray!

"I mean he kept his hand on my elbow the whole time steadying me. GO TAURUS!!!!!!!!!"

Ahh, that made a tear spring to me eye, it did.

Wow - you are a radiant, glowing bride! :-)

Elsa, you look sharp!

Bananas - it was incredible... and completely unexpected. He never let go of me and because of this I was able to say my vows, in my body, with conviction. I was holding my bouquet and he was standing at an angle (we were a V-shape from the minster) holding my elbow - firmly. We were standing pretty close together and I don't even think the minister knew he was doing it. It was the sweetest, greatest thing ever. Taurus steady and Scorpio with his energy holding mine up.

That is fantastic. I have the shivers (in a good way).

on the way to chapel he looked over at me. 'Stick with me, kid. I'll get to you to drop zone..."

Har har har

Aww, you look lovely.  I'm  loving that flashy red lipstick :)

You look soooooooo happy!!  Again, I am so happy for all of you   However long the journey took, all roads led back to each other! 

Congratulations! You look absolutely STUNNING :D

Congratulations, Elsa!

Dammit, now I really need a hankie.
