Lets me just start off by saying that everything was perfect EXCEPT the fact that my venues air conditioner was not functioning properly on the hottest darn day of the year!! Which explains why my cake was melting, pictures of folks with sweaty faces and the fact that an abundance of guest left right after the ceremony!! Yes it was THAT hot...but anyhoo...

We chose not to see each other the morning of...and there was almost an accidental sighting due to my nosey aunt opening the door to sneak a peek at her favorite niece as I was getting dressed at the site ..Phew!!=/...

My coordinator made sure we started on time 5pm!! She was not playing and you know we are known for running on CPT but the ceremony was outside in 90+ weather with no shade so I was elated that we started ON TIME!! =)

I loved seeing my husbands face as my son walked me down the aisle...He was so excited that he said "I Do" and kissed me before we even said prayer!! LOL!!

We created a circle with us and the kids and did our family vows, lead by encouraging words from our Pastor about blended families...said our "I Do's" and enter the suana better known as our reception... =/

For our first dance my hubby suprised me...we chose This is My Promise to You by the Temptations (if you haven't heard it youtube it..its an amazing song!!) But in the middle of our first dance he just stopped dancing and starting lip syncing the song and really put on a show!! Now this is something we do at home all the time to each other but to have it on display for everyone to see was amazing!! People began to record it and send it through facebook..it was incredible!! My day and night was amazing even with the a/c mishap!! I've attached some more pics as well Ladies!!
Now I will be logging off to dedicate time to baby making!! =) Yeeaah Buuuddyyy!! Tongue out

My son walking me down the aisle..as you can tell by his face ITS HOT!! =)


There's my baby..being so serious!!



The grromsmen and all of my favorite men!! That little cute one belongs to me too!! =)



Me and my girls..my pretty pretty princess, sis and bestfriend



Our proud Mothers!! Both single mothers and did an excellent job raising kids on their own!! Love these women!!



Our entire party!!! Did I mention it was hot outside?!Tongue out



Kicking it in the sauna a.k.a reception!! Hey gotta make the best of it!! =) Umm...excuse that little one..sometimes he forgets that he's only 6 or it could be all of those PG 13 videos on Disney..idk



Me and my baby ended the night on the dance floor!! Party!! Party!!
