I was getting the jitters right before the ceremony! Thank goodness for my maid of honor who had an emergency flask hidden in her garter belt! ha ha ha

Meet our favorite flower girl, Bailey. She was given to me as a gift by my husband while were dating and since then, she has been our little joy!

hey daryllen! i just heard from the knot today that my webpage was going to be featured. i don't know when they contacted everyone but me and a few other girls received our good news today. we're not certain if all finalists receive the results but you can always contact the knot directly by email with that inquiry. if you need to get in contact with me and a few of the other girls to chat off the (lame) comment boxes just go to the 'contact us' page at www.jackieandalex.com, shoot me a message with your email and i can get you connected with everyone else!

I really hope this isn't the last time I get to look at these beautiful photos! And I'm going to have to agree with Bianca.. you do have the best hair! I have to say that I've been trying to put a finger on what it is that draws me to your photos so much and I think it's because they really and truly capture the vibe of your wedding so well that I feel like I was there.... And that's not easy to do through still photos. So major props to your photographer (and yourself of course for having such great taste to put it all together)! Best to you always!
Apr 15, 2008
Good luck Darryllen! To the girl with the best hair in the contest!

COOL BRIDES RULE!
Apr 14, 2008
Daryllen...I'm here!!! I was in Mississippi this weekend eating yummy crawfish and partying at Hard Rock Casino...hehe... Why, did you miss me? You know what? This contest has really worn me out! The negativity, the drama...I'm so glad that we have our own little network of supportive brides and that is what I will take away from all of this craziness! I'm so glad I got to meet some of the great personalities (you being one, of course) so here are your 5 to, hopefully, see your way to the very top!
by Carrie Dean
Apr 14, 2008
Daryllen, thanks so much for your encouragment! I think some people just lost sight of what this contest was supposed to be all about here at the end...leaving nasty comments on lots of peoples comment boards. But, luckily, there are many, many, many brides in this contest (and even their families!) with lots of character who have offered so many kind words. I truly appreciate it! Your wedding looked absolutely gorgeous!! By the way, love your favorite flower girl....I had to show my husband as soon as I saw her!!! We have a pug named Rocky who he wanted to be in our wedding, but he is funny and sounds like a baby crying when he gets excited around a lot of people...so I said that was a no go!!! HAHA!! Best of luck to you!!! :)
Apr 14, 2008
Hi it's me again... I was talking about Jessica's comment below. It was meant for you girlie!!
Apr 14, 2008
LOL, you are funny Jessica... ok, yes, this is getting soooo out of hand. It is making me laugh actually, it's so funny. It's like pure hysteria, kind of in a sad way though. :-( OK, I have no idea who Ceclila Babin is, just like Marshall Case, I guess there are some fans of this website who are getting really into it. But I want to tell everyone.. it's OK!! Breathe!! You're all beautiful and it's not so serious! Alright, you know you've got my undying support as you well deserve it.... here's another 5 from my hubby.
Apr 14, 2008
I'm thinking we should have a girls weekend where we all get together haha. Apparently Jackie and Yvette have this strange thing called work... lol. They're in for a surprise when they log on tonight haha!
Apr 14, 2008
LOL, I just read your comment on Maribel's site. I was wondering why it was on everyone else's too- I just asked them that haha. How bizarre! Thanks for the kind words, I really, truly appreciate them. You are such a kind person, and obviously have a lot of class to act as you do! Good for you! I'll be voting for you these last two days- I really hope you make it into the magazine!!

If you are going to copy and paste on everyones entries, at least change the name of the bride you are addressing.
Apr 14, 2008
Jessica, we chose soon after our entry not comment during this contest as a result of the negative comments made on our pictures by "Sarah Keller;" but, after reading yours, I thought you deserved a response from me, the real Cenny. I asked all my supporters not to respond to the nasty comments made on my pages or to comment on anyone else's wedding, but just to vote for me, and I see they have done just that. People have left so many rude and negative comments, some signing in as me and my husband and as if they were friends of ours. Because this was definitely unacceptable, to sign as if we were leaving the comments, we asked The Knot to remove them. Other than that, we could care less what someone says about us during this contest because we know they really don't know us, and we are not offended so easily. I read one entry where a bride cried because of such comments, sad but it shows you gotta have a backbone to deal with this kind of backbiting. With that said, I don't know who "D. Washington" is or any of the others that are commenting on my pages, yours, or the others during this contest. "Washington" may be one of my supporters but I'm sorry I do not know who she/he is and regret that it's assumed that I do. This entire contest has been very discouraging to me and my husband and we will never enter another one, at least not one where anybody can leave any kind comments saying just about anything they want. As a matter of fact, we could care less whether we win or not, at this discouraging point of the contest! I really do appreciate the kind comments you and others have given, but chose not to respond to those either. Just remember there are really mean, hateful, and just plain rude people hiding behind the Internet which, in fact, allows them to show their true colors. I strongly believe, "you reap what you sow" (Galatians 6:7) so they'll get it back one way or another. Cenny
Apr 14, 2008
Haha I had to wikipedia dutch angle to find out what that mean! It means tilted pictures- I love your tilted pictures Daryllen! :) Here's your daily five!
by Kristen Turick
Apr 14, 2008
I still love your photos! Here's your daily dose of 5 heartin' love. :)
Apr 14, 2008
Yeah, I don't get Mr. Marshall Case. I love the Dutch Angle (what is that?)! And yet.. another 5 for my girl!!
by Jacquelyn Do
Apr 13, 2008
oh i should mention that to fully understand what i mean uv gotta check out lisa hwang's comment entry from mr. case.... and i'm totally filling up your comment box! hahaha!

Apr 11, 2008
BOO! i'm the boogie-man! jk =P. i wrote a little note to the 'boogie-man' (i made that name up for whoever's voting ppl down) after getting my fourth heart, hoping he and/or she would be nice enough to not take it away. well, the boogie man was nice enough to let me have it for 2 days bc tonight i'm back to my lonely 3 hearts. poop.
by Marshall Case
Apr 11, 2008
This was an aboslutely gorgous wedding, you can tell from the pictures. Beautiful couple, beautiful venue, rotten dog! But I LOVE rotten dogs (like mine). Personally, I'm not a fan of the overused Dutch Angle, but I've given up fighting the current. Nice!
by Kristen Turick
Apr 11, 2008
Daryllen, thanks so much for YOUR kind words! I really do love your photos, they truly capture the vibe of the day with grace and beauty. My fave of course is of your baby, Bailey. For some reason it just makes me feel so happy! I'll be voting for ya til the end!

I am a portrait photographer and I must say " this wedding has an incredible feel to it". Each image has its own voice and emotion. If I were there at the wedding I do not know if these images would have been any more vivid and any more real. Fantastic job!! Well done and truly each moment is a work of art. I wish the Bride & Groom much happiness. Their story is beautiful!!
Apr 3, 2008
Your dress and wheel ensemble reminded me of Jennifer Lopez in Monster-in-Law; that same low key but super elegant vibe. Just amazing. Good luck and congratulations on being a finalist.
