Our Subway Adventure to the Venue

Guys. If you can take public transportation to your wedding, goodgod please try to do it. It's such an amazing experience.  I had been planning on taking the train to our wedding since the beginning, and it was thrilling to live out that dream.  Everyone embraced the subway.  It was awesome.  Our whole wedding party was there in full garb with liquor bottles and bouquets in tow. And our photographer was there to capture every moment. First up: our walk to the subway... probably one of my favorite parts of the day.  The weather in the city was perfect, and I loved getting these odd stares/smiles from passersby.

My gorgeous sisters:

Off we GO!  See the subway money I'm holding in my bouquet hand?  I love that. And I love that our wedding party brought the Kanye shades aboard the train.  Those were a big hit later in the night.

Oh, and my dress flew up Marilyn Monroe style.

Then we headed down below...

And bought our tickets...

There's the date! July 31, 2010...

Then we made sure we knew where the hell we were going...

Then we waited for the train...

Then we hopped on and rode that bitch straight to the venue...

Then we got off the train, and the fact that were about to go get married started to really sink in. The excitement of it all was truly overwhelming. I was going to see the venue all done up for the very first time.  And I was going to get to party with my favorite people in the world... some of them I hadn't seen in years.

Next up: The portraits!
