Our Wedding: A Special Moment

On the day of the wedding,

while all of us girls were getting ready,

my sister handed me a gift from my now husband...

I had no idea what to expect but what what I saw first was the school picture from my sophomore year in high school.

 I had given the piture to him and written my phone number on the back along with the message,

"We are SO going to chill this weekend!"

And we did.

He called me that weekend and we went on our first date.

That was eight years ago!

I had no idea that he still had that picture,

and as if that weren't enough,

he also wrote a letter that brought every one of us to tears...

AND, I got an iPhone!

Then, I had to have my make-up re-done.

It was definately a moment that I will NEVER forget,

confirming everything I already knew about

how lucky I was to be marrying this man!

Our Wedding: Preparations

During the planning process, I recieved great advice to try to have everything done at least a week before the wedding- that way the week of is left for pampering and spending time with friends and family that have come into town.
I loved the idea of that!

And although I did my absolute best to have all of the little details done, there were just a few things that had to wait.

Fortunately, my friends and family were more than willing to help the day before the wedding and it all came together perfectly.

And a HUGE thanks to all of my eager helpers!
It was a fun day!
