The shawl was completed in the Philadelphia airport waiting for flight delays. It got blocked
on the hotel room floor the morning before the wedding. The photographer of my post-block, pre-wedding shots of the back of the shawl being modeled is in California, 
so it may be a few days before I get those shots....
I found a silver and opal-ish shawl pin to hold it in place, which also sufficed as the something blue..... the shawl was something new, I had given a ring of my mother's to my son to use as an engagement ring, so that was something old. She borrowed some earrings, so we had all the bases covered....
Above are some ceremony shots with the shawl, but not of the shawl, and on the right is a blocking photo, in progress. I later arranged the wires from the inside corner down the borders adjoining the three squares to get them to square up - and it worked well.
So, after hauling my blocking wires from Maine to North Carolina, I wound up forgetting them in a NC airport as we boarded - so, I need new ones after all. However, mailing tubes full of blocking wires don't bother TSA if anyone needs to know.
WOW Dianna. The wedding shawl is fabulous. Congrats on the new daughter. I hope they have a wonderful life together. You must be proud. Love getting a glimpse of the kids and the dogs here and there. How about a shot of you! We love you. Peg

Oh I'm just speechless. What a beautiful shawl - what a beautiful place - what a beautiful setting. Wonderful for them. And you. I hope you were able to enjoy every single moment despite some of the concerns you had.
A wonderful time for everyone - I'm sure. The photos surely couldn't begin to convey to greatness of the place and moment.

Sunset wedding at the beach. Congratulations on completing the shawl just under the wire (pardon the pun - ha ha).

GORGEOUS. The location. The day. The wedding. The bride. The groom. And of course, the shawl! You obviously put your heart and soul into this. What a special part of their wedding day you were. LOVE the daisies in her hair, too. Very sweet.
