Dear friends:

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts over the last week. We were only able to pop on to KA very intermittently between last minute errands and entertaining our parents. We could feel the love all the way over here in Winnipeg, and our day was more special for it.

In an attempt to make up for our absence, we'd like to share with you the very first photos our photographer has made public. She's posted these on her website, so they're limited by number and size, but they give a nice sneak preview into our day.

Here are the KA newlyweds ... Loz and Strutsy

All our best to all of you,

Jeanna and Loz

Wow and double wow Jeanna... very breathtaking... lovely dress for your wedding and love the hair! Wow!!!

And to borrow a line from ZZ Top I can see why Loz was on the other side of the aisle from you "coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

All the happiness to you and Loz and thanks for posting the pics! Hope to see each of you around here a little more often now.

Keep on KickingAS!

Take care,

Tim

Love the brick doorway,..
Adore the bird's eye perspective of Jeanna,...
and gotta love the ice cream truck... (yum, ice cream!) Wisking the bride off for some ice cream - excellent! Who wouldn't want ice cream? Hmmm, or was it Jeanna tugging on Loz's sleeve perhaps? Love it.

And Jeanna, you are a vision! You both look absolutely beaming with happiness!

My love & congrats to the newlyweds!

Jeanna, you are truly beautiful, and you are so radiant in those pictures.

Loz, you are very handsome, and I can see why Jeanna grabbed you.

You guys are a wonderful couple, and I hope you have many years of love and happiness. If the love that you two are showing in your pictures are any indication, then a long and happy marraige you will have.

You are an insperation to all of us.

Lori

PS, I just showed Eric the pictures. At first he was mad at me because I did not bring him to your wedding, but I explained the party next year, so he is cool. The pic in black and white with Jeanna holding the flowers in color is his favorite. He thinks it is neat how they did it.

You two are absolutely beautiful. I wish you both the very best !!!!

Sherri

Yay! Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful pictures. You are both radiant in love. May you share many happy years together!

Those photos are so beautiful!! My wedding is this weekend and i can only hope for pictures that beautiful!! I've been doing so good with not being in pain, but lately with all the stress my body is starting to act up, with hip pain and seems as though my back wants to start acting up again. I've had no time in months to even check in here. But you made such a beautiful bride, and i hope all the best for you. Best Wishes!
Vicky

Great photos.

Best wishes again to the two of you. May you succeed together in all your dreams and laugh off the woes and the occasional failures with a wink and a starch free beverage.

Nice pictures. Ditto to what everyone else has said. Truly outstanding !!

Hi Jeanna/Loz: I can only echo what others have said: "wow and double wow", "breathtaking", "absolutely beautiful", "amazing", "yum, ice cream", "you're both beaming with happiness", "gorgeous", "drop dead gorgeous", "pretty snazzy", "stunning", "awesome", "radiant and handsome" and "truly outstanding". I wish you all the happiness, thank you for sharing...Tom

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW, my vocabulary is not big enough for this! AWESOME!

Oh Jeannnnnna!!
Those piccies took my breath away!!
You look absolutely beautiful my dear
And Loz so dashing!
The pictures say everything..you all are obviously so in love and am so very happy for the both of you all!

my fav pic is the one of you holding your bouquet and smiling looking up. may you have many many years of happiness and love!

It's all been said. I don't know what to add to make it any better. Except that Pam and I send our warmest love and best wishes to you both and wish you every happiness for the future, of which we want to add to some time, when you are near.
The preview pics are stunning BTW

Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Best Wishes and a very happy life together.

Keep Kickin'AS
Chris

Very Very nice!
I wish you the very best!

You are beautiful! You both look great! I am so happy for the both of you! Congrats on a beautiful wedding and a wonderful marraige!!!Best Wishes!!!

Ahh, Mr. and Mrs. at last! Thank you for taking the time to include your family here at KA.

We expected the interlude. Think Tim even mentioned turning the pcs off.

Stunning photos guys. You both look storybook perfect and managed to sling in a few candid emotions for those trying photo sessions. If this is just a small sample of the quality of work, you've found yourself a gem photographer. Doorway moment, ice cream truck, black and white with colored flowers are all extrodinary.

Most importantly now will come your time to slip into a comfortable relationship. Savor it, as I know you will.

best to you both
Klem

way cool, just noticed this post made my 600th

Congratulations to the both of you! Beautiful pictures of an incredibly beautiful couple!

All the best to you on this new part of your journey together...

Sherree

WHAT GREAT PHOTOS! Thanks for sharing.

You both look so happy, I wish you the best forever.

wow - that is some news to me - AWESOME!

Nice!!!

I think it's fair to say that this is one of those moments where I can scream "you both ROCK". Just gave a shout out here in the office. What a great moment, my favorite picture is right below the one with Jeanna looking up...Loz is looking suaver than Bond and Jeanna prettier than a fairy tale princess...and I love that car!

Love and Peace to you both, forever and ever, wherever your new life leads you. I will raise my glass to you both, tonight at the Astoria beer garden!!

Linc

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Thank you so much for sharing.

I hope you are both happy forever with your chosen one.

Congratulations Guys, you look so happy and so perfect together. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful life together.
Take care and keep smiling,
Rose

Thanks for sharing these photos-they are beautiful...

Congrats once again...

Beautiful! Congrats you two!

Very nice! Congratulations to you both. May you have many happy years together.

Kelly.

Wow Tim, thank you for such lovely comments ... you certainly know how to make a girl blush. And you're 110% correct about Loz, he was sooo sharp, he nearly poked my eye out!!

We're working on the happiness, one bit of red tape at a time Truth is, we're closer than we've ever been, so that's something really special.

Thanks again for your very sweet comments Tim, and for being the first of our many friends to reply to our thread.

Hugs,
Jeanna

Awww Jonathon. Succinct and lovely, as usual. Thank you.

I've been meaning to mention, in another thread about our wedding, you posted a photo of a handfasting. Did you know we included a handfasting in our ceremony? I'm sure photos will follow.

Here's a big hug for you
Jeanna

Beautiful pictures as always.....you guys always look so comfortable together, just like you where always meant to be. Thanks for sharing the pictures of your special day with us all.
Dan and Janet

Well Cara, we had to try to live up to the beautiful photo you've shared with us for years!!! Thank you very much for your sweet words, and as for sharing, it was a complete no-brainer that we were going to post here just as soon as we could!

Love,
Jeanna

Hi Daz!

Thank you for your lovely comments. Looking forward to meeting up at a UK Kickers Gathering!

Take good care, y'hear?
Jeanna

Ah BBJ, good to have you back you red-necked, fun-lovin', roadkill-eatin' son-of-a-gun! I've been watchin you, and your claims of druggin' me a good husband. So what if you're right, he gosh darn stuck around, din-he?

As you can clearly see, my redneck's a slippin'. Glad to have you back for some in-four-ma-shun sessions

Thanks for your kind words and congrats. Means alot coming from you.

Jeanna

Hey Sharebear! (such a great nick, in case I've never mentioned it)

Thanks for your compliments, and for your faith in my hair dresser. I do love how it turned out, thought admittedly, that was my one Bridezilla moment of the day . I jumped on my hairdresser a little bit when things weren't going as I had pictured it, but I quickly apologized afterwards.

We're enjoying being married very very much, even if at times it still surprises us to call each other husband and wife

Hugs,
Jeanna

Hi Lisa:

You're right, it was an amazing, magical perfect day. We just can't wait to do it all again Winnipeg part-eh style next year

Thank you for your very sweet comments. As IF we weren't going to share them with all you ASkickers. Could you imagine what Lori would do to me if I didn't share them straight away ...

Hugs,
Jeanna

Thank you Pat for your kind comments about my dress. I had been looking for something entirely different when I found that dress. It was about the 6th dress I tried on at the one and only dress shop I went to. Because I was purchasing off the rack instead of mailing due to time constraints, we had to make some modifications, but it all worked out really really well. In fact my favourite bit of the dress (that you can't really appreciate in these small photos) is the lace up corset back. It's the only dress that's fit me really well (b/c it could be done as tight or as loose as I needed it), AND it made me feel like a princess .

As for Loz, well, you said it . Honestly though, I was beginning my walk down the aisle, and I suddenly thought 'oh my god, I'm going to break down so badly, I don't think I can let everyone see me cry like that'. But then I saw my handsome, perfect prince, and it was all OK. Until the vows that is...

Thanks again Pat, for your words and your beautiful pic.
Jeanna

Hi Mig

Thank you for your very sweet comments. We had soooo much fun with our photographer. Her name is Carrie Kosky and she's a hobby-ist (i.e. not a professional) but she obviously loves her job and is so very good at what she does. She does wedding photos at an unbelieveably reasonable price because she believes that people should have photos they can afford, not forgo wedding pictures because they cant afford them. All that PLUS she's *such* a cool woman.

Nearly all the photo shoots were her idea, including sneaking into the English Gardens without permission, and the funky doorways you see. As for the ice cream that was all us . We were quite honestly melting, and needed some relief. Sooo the groom bought ice creams for all of us and Carrie said, "wait, wait, I have to get that shot!"

We were beaming, and we still are, with the exception of that pesky immigration stuff... . I hope our application is as solid as we believe it to be

In the meantime we have a whole new load of happy memories to keep us close.

Love to you Mig. We'll have to catch up sometime soon.
Jeanna

Thanks for saying that Steve, but you know what, we feel great together too. I've simply never felt so completely happy.
