We were married at Saint John's Catholic Church in Loveland, Colorado on July 18, 2009 at 1:30pm.
There are two doors that lead to the sanctuary. We had the bridesmaids alternate which door the came out of and then the two flower girls each came out of one at the same time.
We weren't allowed to drop petals on the ground, so our flower girls handed out carnations in our wedding colors.

The best part about a Catholic ceremony: getting to sit back and enjoy it. I have no idea why we are making funny faces.

Vow exchange. We just used the generic "I take X to be my husband..." we figured that they basically sum up everything and we didn't want the added task of writing our own.
Ring exchange!
I tried to put his ring on the wrong finger.
Lighting of the Unity Candle. Not a traditional part of a Catholic wedding, but it was something we wanted to do.

I like how my dress looks in this photo.
Married!
Stopped for a kiss part way down the aisle.

Flower girls were next.
We had more bridesmaids than groomsmen, so two guys got lucky and got a lady for each arm.
They were both very excited about escorting two bridesmaids.
