Martin/Flanagan Wedding Photos

The candid photos in this set of photos from our wedding were taken by countless friends and family, including, but not limited to: Rose Martin, Michael Martin, Charlotte Flanagan, Jason Dietenberger, and Josh and Alicia Herman. 10 disposable cameras were available for people to capture images for the bride and groom as well.

We will post the professional portraits and photos when they arrive as well. These are just the candid photos.

We'd love to save your photos and videos along with our professional photos.

You can send an email to such22bring@photos.flickr.com with a photo or video attached to include it in our collection.

You can use the subject line to give your photo or video a title and the body to add a description.

Our Minimoon


Folks have been asking about our honeymoon.
Truth is, we didn't really have a honeymoon, yet.
We're waiting until the frigid winter hits, and then we're heading to the Bahamas.

Still, we wanted a little getaway, so we had a minimoon! 3 days and 2 nights in Stillwater, MN.

It was pretty much a last minute decision. A colleague recommended a getaway there the Wednesday before our wedding, and we headed there the Monday after the wedding.

We packed one backpack, strapped it to the back of the motorcycle and headed off to Stillwater on a sunny July afternoon. The weather was brilliant. So was the smoochin.

Highlights:
Riding the motorcycle over the lift bridge
Our cRaZy decked out "vault suite" at the Water Street Inn
Nacho Mama's nachos and big drinks
Sampling Schell's Freight House Pilsner, brewed exclusively for the Freight House Restaurant.

I wore green the whole time to celebrate my newly gained Irish heritage.

Check out our pics from our minimoon.

Our Vows


A few people have asked us if we could email our vows to them, or post them online.

Here they are!

Marie’s Vows

From this day on, I choose you, Greg, to be my husband.

I choose to live with you and laugh with you;

to stand by your side and sleep in your arms;

to be joy to your heart and food for your soul;

to bring out the best in you always;

and to be the best for you that I can be.

I promise to laugh with you in good times and struggle with you in bad;

to comfort you when you are downhearted;

to share with you all my riches and honors;

to rock out when you drum and dance in your sawdust;

to play with you as much as I can until we grow old;

and to love you sweetly and gladly as long as we both shall live.


Greg’s Vows

From this day forward, I choose you, Marie, to be my wife.

I choose to learn with you and explore with you;

to hold your hand and warm your toes;

to add youth to your soul and salt to your meals;

to support you always;

and to be a positive influence on our life together.

I promise to laugh with you in good times and struggle with you in bad;

to comfort you when you are downhearted;

to share all my crazy ideas with you and twirl my drumsticks for you;

to admire your passion;

to stay curious and look for the silver linings;

and to love you completely as long as we both shall live.
