Talk to the Goat
Great wedding story if not the perfect wedding. You could still how devoted you are to each other that you still made your way through happy and sane. And thanks for the wonderful pictures, Jay, it was the perfect company to a great post.
what lovely pictures! A dashing couple! We wanted to marry in Antigua but alas family relations put a crimp in our plans so we threw a wedding at home... lterally in our livingroom then had a big reception.. I may just be inspired enough to write of our wedding day follies! Thankfully no wedding eye patch necessary but how kick ass was that of your mom?? Totally kick ass!
a lovely wedding!!
I wish there was a picture of the eye patch, my friend had that in her eye, not too nice.....
my bro & his wife went to Vegas and took a helicopter to the bottom of the Grand Canyon for their wedding, Ive never seen the pictures, that was almost 3 years ago..
cant wait for the other wedding pictures and stories!
waaah!!! you two look so beautiful together that it's making me cry. *sniff, sniff*
You made a beautiful bride! Love the dress. And your husband...WOW...he's hot! Okay, so I noticed him first...that's just the kind of guy I am...excuse me, okay?
Beautiful post. Thank you for sharing. I was thinking that these kind of love stories are valuable days after Valentine's Day. It's a reminder that love continues long past Feb. 14th!
Wishin' you all the best!
*CHEERS!*
i really don't like attending weddings. but this made me want to be there. i really don't like crying at weddings i don't like attending, but i would cry at yours. you two look so perfect there it's almost kismet. and that's why the herpes went away, too. because you just HAD TO look amazing on your wedding day. and damn, girl, weren't you a beaut! 
Wow, you get some special, shitty ailments don't cha? And yet you looked beautiful...
I really enjoyed your story!
if it was a movie, everyone would say "yeah, but that's only in the movies..."
so really, you got to live a movie, how cool is that?
TOP story! I have a tear in my eye and it's not from herpes!
How does one get herpes in the eye? I haven't seen anything like that in the adult bookstores....
Not that I frequent Adult Bookstores... of course....
Your photos show no evidence of being anything less than a perfect wedding!
Although that herpes-in-the-eye thing sounds fucking horrible!
But it all worked out in the end....hangon, haven't heard part two yet :D
ps really like the second photo
All problems aside, your wedding day sounds like it was great! The photos turned out great too.
Handsome couple. Good for you for trying matrimony.
Hope
What a great story! It's amazing how things always seem to come together in the end, isn't it? And you sure know how to tell it. Such a beautiful couple, keep 'em coming. 
With a start like that how can you not stay married fifty years! I'm grinning ear to ear! Great story, thank you!
LOL, well done...
I could tell story about ours but...she might read your blog...
she however has some pics posted at

Nice pics Jay, I'm glad everything worked out!
Jay ... that is such a precious story ... I had tears in my eyes the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing your wedding experience!
Great story Jay...I must say that you have the oddest things happen to you. I would love to see a pic of the homemade wedding eyepatch
Can't wait for the Canadian wedding and the reason you had two. I'm still waiting to have one.
Herpes of the eye. Didn't your parents tell you never to peak into the glory hole. Haven't you seen The Sweetest Thing?
Great story. Looking forward to the Canadian part.
Is it just me or do you look like an entirely different person in every picture you post? Are you, in fact, just posting pictures of complete strangers?
lol i know what you mean about the rice - when I got married some total stranger (apparantly some woman relative of his) came up to me and THRUST a handful of confetti down the front of my dress... it melded so I honestly thought I was tearing my dress when I took it off.
Jay,
That is an awesome story. What ever happened to that cooked rice? I don't think it would work the same if I left it down my underpants.

eye herpes! only harpies get herpes.
Wow Jay, great photos and such a wonderful story behind them. The sweetest thing about you and your "hose-band" is that you always seem so happy in all your photos together, especially the last one you posted today. The whole world is looking for what you two have.
Great story - it even surpasses Grams' 'weeding from hell' story. Ah love, ain't it grand?
Transience - there was a rule at my wedding: NY CRYING! I had to stop myself during my vows to keep my composure, but I am an ugly crier and warned everyone that there would be no tears.
Kris - My dress looks okay because my mother thought ahead - she bought us a travel hand-steamer, which was a miracle worker!
JQP- very nice pics, and Alice Cooper! I'm impressed.
Dave - yes, I do look different, mostly because I have an addiction to changing my hair. I have gone through every style and colour in the rainbow (this is true as of November 2004, before which I had avoided black). Right now it's shoulder length and blue. Not for long.
Herpes zoster usually occurs in elderly patients, and only in people who have already had the chicken pox. It lies dormant for years and is trigged by stress and a suppressed immune system. At the time, we thought I had 'caught' it, which is sad because a month before, I had had my wedding shower and Jason's little sister was handing me presents. I was rubbing my eyes like crazy because I had allergies, and asit turns out, she had the pox. All of this turned out to be purely coincidence (oddly), but it made for a good story for a while.
The rash looks blister and like having chicken pox onhalf your face. In 10% of the cases, your eye gets involved, which could lead to catracts, glaucoman, and scarring of the
Fantastic pictures. You looked gorgeous, herpes be damned!!
Love the dress, wish I had loved mine!
cornea. You will have pain in your face and flu-like symptoms, in which case don't dawdle, get to a hostpital.
I enjoy the rice picture, kudos to the photographer for capturing that one, but my favourite is the one above it. I had just walked down the path and got the first kiss. It was sweet, and funny. We're a couple of goofballs, so this whole romantic wedding was way out of our league. It was funny to see ourselves like that. Plus, people were out on their balconies waving at us, the whole thing was surreal.
Wow, I may have given up and just lived in sin! Good thing it ended up ok. Some luck, herpes in the eye! What did you put in your eye? Never mind, I don't want to know!
Unbelievable! I got a cold sore the day before my wedding and I thought that sucked.
OMG! That was one bad journey to the alter. Was there really topless beach goers at the wedding? Or was your herpes playing tricks on you. That would be too hillarious.
The eye patch sounds like a real gem.
Oh sure, we really enjoyed the naked beaches, but when I was dreaming of my wedding day, I just never pictured boobs.
Congrats!
happy anniversary!
Awwww what cute pics! Sorry about the shingles in your eye. But I still hope my wedding goes half as well, if it ever happens.
Now why couldn't I have a wedding like that. Mine seems awfully blah compared to yours, Jay.
At least you seemed to have a lot of fun from the pictures, darling!
GRATZ!
Gr8 stories- Wish it had been smoother b/c we had honeymoon horrors. You two look so happy and stunning. You both sure made the best of it! Smiles
so sweet! i especially love the last picture =)
Truly a wedding adventure. I'm glad the bad didn't prevent you in the end from having a wonderful day.
I too have issues with nosebleeds. While our wedding and reception went 99% smoothly there was that moment when I sat down to dinner and my nose burst into bleedingness. I spent the first 20 minutes of dinner in the bathroom with dishtowels and a bowl of ice.
Miracle of miracles, I didn't get any blood on my wedding attire.
I bet when your husband was dreaming of your wedding day he probably did picture boobs!
Your wedding photos are beautiful. Best wishes to both of you! Have fun!
