a phiLOVEdelphia story: How We Felt

Hive, I hope you'll indulge me as I take another break from the chronology of our recaps (when we last left off, everyone was gussied up and waiting for the videographer and photographer). I'll explain why.

We have, courtesy of Philip Gabriel Photography, wonderful (fabulous, amazing, etc) photos of our wedding. We believe these images perfectly capture the big day - from the key moments right down to the tiny details. However, there are some photos that capture the feeling and the aura of the day better than other. I think the married ladies out there may know what I'm speaking about - those pictures that, whether perfect or not, capture how and what you felt on that day wearing white.

These are not all photos likely to be framed, but they will absolutely be treasured. Truth be told, Mr. Turkey and I thought there was a very real chance that all of our professional pictures would come in with us displaying big, almost silly smiles on our faces (I referenced it in my first post as a Mrs. and you saw some of the guest photo examples). We were just THAT happy and having THAT much fun.

So, Mr. Turkey and I want to share with you here, just before the "meat" of our recaps, the photos that best capture the way we (plus our family and friends) felt on the day of the wedding. Consider it the final "sneak peek" into our day (see also: video sneak peek and guest photos) before we continue in order. Below are the top 10 photos that capture that feeling of extreme, all-encompassing joy and fun that comes from marrying your very best friend.

I'll let the images* do the talking.

All photos are by Philip Gabriel Photography.

See comment above about big, goofy smiles

Do you have photos of you and your significant other that trigger a special memory or feeling? Please share!!

*Note: these eliminate photos taken during most of the dancing part of the evening - mainly because that's a WHOLE other type of joy.
