Well, a few anyway. The photographer, the fantastic Jyl Read who is a former Pea, btw, sent me some sneak peeks and said I could share. 
We did something a little different for the wedding day. After the ceremony we did family group shots, but we did the couple shots during dinner. Instead of having a head table and the bride and groom not eating because they are trying to visit with everyone, we sent them off an a picnic in a local park with the photographer. they had about an hour to rest, eat, and have a bit of alone time. They came back in time for the cake and dancing part of the reception.
These pictures are from the picnic.
We had lemonade, scones, sliced meat and cheese, and salads for the dinner so it was the perfect thing to pack up in a hamper (wedding present from a grandma) and send off with the couple. They enjoyed their picnic and no one really missed them until about 15 minutes before they were due back. there was so much business and chaos with the swapping the room and getting the food (buffet) that they weren't needed. The picnic was a wonderful break in the middle of a crazy busy day.
As for the dress, she did finally finish that corset--two days before the wedding.
I posted the picture of the aprons before as a sneak peek. Her hat is my wedding hat (hey, it was 1994, everybody wore a hat!) re-trimmed in a steampunk style. The back of the hat has some metal gears and decorations centered on the purple feathers. Those are the same feathers and metal bits I used for his boutonniere. The veiling on the hat is recycled from mine and cut eyebrow length and so it was straight when the hat is tilted. That ostrich plume was an interesting thing to work with. It was my first time working with one and it took me hours to shape. I think it came out nicely.
