With the start of a new year I realize that I put off my final post recapping the Gazelle wedding and my good bye to Weddingbee far too long.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
2012 was a busy year for the Gazelles. We adopted the most adorable dog ever in March, Peat! He's a four year old Scottish Terrier and we love him to pieces.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Thank you to everyone at Weddingbee for being there throughout our wedding planning journey. Being able to share the details of our wedding with you truly made the whole experience so much more special. Our wedding was one of the best days of my life, but I look forward to so many more special days with Mr. Gazelle as we grow old together.</span></div>

With 2012 coming to a close I figure I should wrap up the last details on the Gazelle wedding! I have put off my last few posts for far too long.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With dinner and cake complete it was time for Mr. Gazelle and I to have our first dance as husband and wife.</div>

We had taken some <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/04/28/swing-dance-lessons/" target="_blank">dance lessons</a> before the wedding but we didn't finish the round. We were dance school drop outs! It was tough picking a song but we chose Ryan Adams' <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDZys3nrYLY" target="_blank">When the Stars Go Blue</a> for our first dance. It was something we'd be able to sway to and we had our first kiss way back when with a Ryan Adams song playing in the background.</div>

It was such a wonderful moment as we danced and I love how happy my dad looks.</div>

Our photographers had the option to add on a photobooth package including camera and backdrop for the duration of our reception. We were keen...but would our guests use it and have fun?</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">One of the best things about having a photobooth was that we got these photos back almost right away. After the wedding you can't wait to get your photos! Seeing these definitely tied us over while we waited the two months for the rest of our photos.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">I figured that after all of the yummy appetizers at <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2012/03/03/wedding-ribbon-wands/" target="_blank">cocktail hour</a> that our guests wouldn't be quite ready to tuck in to the huge dinner we had waiting for them. This was a perfect time for a few toasts! Our Best Man kicked things off.</span></span><br />

He advised Mr. Gazelle to never forget that initial excitement when you first start dating someone. Even though I'm now his wife he told Mr. Gazelle to remember that I'm also still his girlfriend. With more clinking of glasses after the toast Mr. Gazelle and I kissed.</span></span><br />

I wasn't too concerned about keeping up our purple theme for the flowers in the bud vases, I was more interested in keeping them inexpensive. The day before the wedding my girlfriends and I went to Costco to raid the roses in the flower department. The flowers there are great quality and a great value.<br />

Wow Hive, sorry for being MIA for so long! Work got crazy busy right before Christmas, then Mr. Gazelle and I were having a blast at Disney World over the holidays. We are back now, so let's get back to recapping the Gazelle wedding, shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After our <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/12/20/walking-on-sunshine-our-first-look/" target="_blank">first look</a> it was time to have a little fun and take a few photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj853y4V8qS9Iobkys_935YQVdEdI6GryETXAOLu9-wVS7uNmP3WnSr-y38SP99ysREB0OZGBEEH3JkGdthuFOEa5smnQREZNAJL4TDliA2AVTPwt81FEOkYBPNUqHlA9JuRqqAyQlH9Eg/s1600/3-creatives-040.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj853y4V8qS9Iobkys_935YQVdEdI6GryETXAOLu9-wVS7uNmP3WnSr-y38SP99ysREB0OZGBEEH3JkGdthuFOEa5smnQREZNAJL4TDliA2AVTPwt81FEOkYBPNUqHlA9JuRqqAyQlH9Eg/s1600/3-creatives-040.jpg" /></a></div>

Granville Island was an amazing place for photos because we were able to get such a huge variety of backdrops. First Mr. Gazelle and I hung out on a hill.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then Mr. Gazelle hung out looking oh so handsome with his groomsmen.</div>

At this point it was time to say goodbye to our bridal party and take some photos of just the two of us. We popped inside Granville Island Market as folks did their Sunday afternoon shopping.</div>

Having this time to take photos before the ceremony was great. As a bridal party we had so much fun together. As for the two of us, Mr. Gazelle and I kept looking at each other saying, "We're getting married today!!" I loved the pictures of the two of us from this time and having a few hours to spend together before the ceremony was so special to me. I don't think I could have waited until our 6:30 pm ceremony to see Mr. Gazelle!</div>

Granville Island is a place we love to visit every time we are in Vancouver so it seemed perfect for our first look. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">I was running late, but now all I could think about was that I was so close to seeing Mr. Gazelle for the first time on our wedding day. While our photographers were on the phone coordinating our first look the girls adjusted a few pieces of my attire, including my necklace which kept twisting.</span><br />

It was really nice to have this moment together. It was one of my favourite parts of the day! Our ceremony wasn't until 6:30 pm. This gave us a chance to spend a bit more of the day together and to revel in the fact that we were getting married!! I love seeing photos of the look on Mr. Gazelle's face from our first look!</div>

The other weekend Mr. Gazelle and I put our Christmas tree up. This wasn't the first time that we've hung ornaments on the Christmas tree together, but somehow it felt different this time now that we are married. We've collected a few ornaments over the year that will remind us of some special things and occasions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Gazelle has a dream to own a boat some day. So I bought him one! Perhaps a bit on the small scale though...</div>

Around this time I also realized just how late we were running. I think this is right where BM-D is telling me not to worry and to just enjoy everything.</div>

My friend Tara lent me her garter that a friend had handmade for her. It was so sweet of her to let me borrow it. It was absolutely gorgeous. We did not do a garter toss so only a few people knew it was there.</div>

I also had the travelling bees with me that have been making their way around the hive! Unfortunately by the time I got them (darn you Canada Post strike!) I didn't have much of an idea for how to incorporate them on the day. I carried the bees in my purse.</div>

You guys...this is exciting!! We are at the part of the recaps where the professional photos start!</div>

After <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/11/23/walking-on-sunshine-to-the-salon/" target="_blank">the salon</a> we rushed home to get our make up on! The girls started getting glam on the patio with our amazing make up artist, Megan from <a href="http://mlmakeup.com/" target="_blank">ML Makeup Artistry</a>...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
My parents had ordered some pizzas while we were at the salon and I was starving. I was worried I may not be able to eat later so I definitely made sure to devour some pizza.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In between bites the doorbell rang. Our bouquets were here! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seriously you guys, when my flowers arrived it all really started to seem real. The bouquets were perfect and just as<a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/04/11/vancouver-florists/" target="_blank"> I had visualized</a>. I loved them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Soon the doorbell rang again. This time it was our photographer Leslie! Her husband Mark was dropping her off on his way to photograph the men getting ready. She got to work photographing little details and it was my turn to get made up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Megan did an awesome job on my makeup. We talked about the things that worked from my <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/07/07/gazelle-practices-getting-made-up/" target="_blank">makeup trial </a>and the things to adjust. She was so fun to be around and she made me feel beautiful. I would not hesitate to recommend Megan! Also having Megan come to our house was a fantastic idea. She was able to make the girls look gorgeous while I was able to relax and hang out with the rest of my friends and family.</div>

Like most brides I grew out my hair in anticipation of the wedding. It had been ages since I've really grown my hair out. Post wedding I hung on to the length as I was curious to see just how long I could get my hair. Well...how long it would get before it started to drive me nuts!</div>

Well, four months post wedding it officially started to drive me nuts! The ends felt dry and it was taking longer and longer to dry and style in the morning. This weekend I said so long to 6 inches of hair.</div>

I also decided to go back to my roots by getting my colour as close to my natural blonde colour as possible. The slightly warmer blonde feels perfect for fall/winter and my hair is feeling so much softer (not to mention that it took much less time to dry this morning).</div>

Did you wait a few months after your wedding before cutting your hair or could you not wait to cut it off?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Wedding morning dawned. I'm normally a pretty early riser and today was no different. I enjoyed some quiet time in the room by myself as Mr. Gazelle was checked in to a hotel. I took the opportunity to read through my vows and to finish putting pen to paper, expressing what I wanted to say. Soon it was time to emerge, say good morning to my family and friends all staying at the house, and then to make my way to the salon to get my hair done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Myself, my maid of honor, bridesmaid and flower girl all had a hair appointment at <a href="http://www.sukis.com/qs/page/6047/6040/-1" target="_blank">Suki's Salon</a> on West Georgia in Vancouver. I picked this particular salon because they were open on Sundays and they had plenty of stylists on hand Sunday morning who specialized in up dos. It is also where I have had the most amazing shampoo experience ever! I was pretty excited when my stylist suggested that they wash my hair at the salon in the morning so she could dry it exactly as she needed it for my style.</div>

I had originally thought that I would go for a low side bun, as per my<a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/05/03/hair-trial-3/" target="_blank"> hair trial</a>. The week of the wedding I found new inspiration while watching the <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.ca/topchefcanada/" target="_blank">Top Chef Canada finale</a>. I love the host's lost centered bun and the way her hair looked from the front. My biggest issue with my hair trial was that I wasn't a fan of how my hair looked from the front (that I sadly never got a picture of). Here is my new inspiration, courtesy of Thea Andrews on Top Chef Canada:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After my stylist finished my hair it was time to put in my <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/04/21/diy-hair-flower-3/" target="_blank">hair flower</a>. The one that I had worked so hard to make and absolutely loved. Way back when I made it I had decided to just glue a barrette on to the back. As my stylist placed the flower in my hair and closed the barrette it went SNAP! The glue had become brittle in the months that I had made it and the barrette separated from the fabric. There was no way to fix it at the salon and I had super glue back at the house. I figured I would just fix it later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time was marching on (seriously...your wedding day goes by so fast) and we had to hurry back to the house to get made up. Here's the finished do though...</div>

A few of my girlfriends and I had a hot date to rush to after <a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/11/07/walking-on-sunshine-last-night-as-a-single-gal/" target="_blank">dinner</a>. It just so happened that New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys were playing in Vancouver the night before I was getting married. It was like fate!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
See, I loved the New Kids as a teenager. I'm pretty sure I had The Right Stuff on constant replay on the boom box in my bedroom. I even saw them in concert with Bridesmaid D on their last reunion tour a few years ago.</div>

That time I dressed up in an old sweatshirt from grade 8 (that oversized monstrosity was labelled a medium), I tucked and rolled my jeans and bumped my hair. It was awesome. When BM-D found out they were in Vancouver she declared it fate and that we had to go. Besides? What better way is there to spend your last night as a single girl reliving your teenage dreams of yesteryear? Yeah, we were all pretty excited.</div>

I know this can be a pretty polarizing topic amongst women but I definitely think that the New Kids trump the Backstreet Boys. Their tunes are catchy and Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre sure can belt the songs out. I may have screamed like a teenager as the guys came over to say hello to our section...</div>

Plus they can still bust out the exact same awesome dance moves! But, whether you are a New Kids or a Backstreet fan it didn't matter, everyone was a winner. The show was fantastic in a totally retro 80s/90s kind of way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was only one thing that was bugging me at the show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I still hadn't finished my vows yet!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had actually brought my pad of paper and a pen in case inspiration struck while at the concert. Unfortunately unless I was going to quote lines from Step by Step in my vows inspiration was nowhere to be found. Mind you...maybe the concept isn't all that bad?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 1: We can have lots of fun...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 2: There's so much we can do...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes? No?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
OK hive, spill the beans. Were you a New Kids or a Backstreet fan? Or were you more into N Sync?</div>

The night before the wedding Mr. Gazelle and I kissed farewell and went off to do our own thing. He met up with his guy friends at the <a href="http://www.pourhousevancouver.com/" target="_blank">Pourhouse</a> for a night of cocktails (which by the way guys, it was apparently amazing). I met up with some of the girls for dinner at <a href="http://www.glowbalgroup.com/glowbalgrill/#home_section" target="_blank">Glowbal Grill</a>.</div>

It was a great chance to see some friends that just arrived in town and to catch up with some friends I hadn't seen in ages! Even though a lot of the girls didn't know each other we had a great time enjoying some delicious food and good conversation. It was nice and low key...just what I wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dinner was over too fast and soon it was time for dessert. Our waiter told us about these special c<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">rème brûlée</span> </span>shots they had.</div>

One of the tricky things about planning a wedding outside of our hometown was figuring out where we could go for a rehearsal lunch or dinner. I searched for a space with private dining rooms and the ability to select a set menu to keep our costs in check. It was tough.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
When my mom suggested renting a house near our venue it changed everything. We'd have a big enough place that we could host a lunch at the house and keep the budget reasonable by making our own food and providing our own alcohol. Brilliant! After our blustery rehearsal we got back to the house and hung out on the patio.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We also got out our photobooth props to see if they would be any fun for use on the big day.</span><br />
