Our wedding was a week ago, so today is our 1 week anniversary!! Our day was amazing!!! I am patiently waiting for our photographer to post our teasers! But I do have some pictures from the wedding that friends took. My amazing bridesmaid gave me a digital frame and the memory card she had in her camera the whole wedding day. She even gave it to a guest so that we would have ceremony pictures on it. I really love that girl!Our rehearsal dinner was awesome the food was wonderful and everyone loved their gifts. I even surprised my FI (now husband!!!) with some Breaking Bad Cupcakes- they were a hit with our guests who watch the show.
Here is one of the last pics that we have before become Husband & Wife- it is now one of my favorite pictures!
After our rehearsal dinner we went back to the hotel and played trivia games with several of our wedding party but went to bed before 12. I forgot to give FI and real kiss before bed and I felt so bad about that! The bridesmaids and I stayed together in the executive suite and stayed up for a while talking and watching tv.
We got up at about 8:30- took showers and went down for breakfast. Then my bridesmaid gave me a gift of 4 coins on a blue ribbon. There was a penny from 1981 (our birth year) a nickel from 2004 (our dating anniversary) a dime from 2010 (our engagement anniversary) and a quarter from 2012 (our wedding anniversary). She also left room for a half dollar and dollar coin for when we have children. I wasn;t able to figure a way to attach the ribbon so she gave me a penny from 1914 that i put in my bouquet.
At 10 the hair and makeup people showed up and it went super-fast from there. Our hair and makeup turned out fabulous! I couldn’t have asked for better or friendlier ladies, they talked and joked with us which kept me from freaking out about time. Our nephews came in and out of our room that morning too so it was nice to see them. As they were finishing up my mom and one of my BMs went out and got everyone Panera Bread (yum). So we were actually able to eat! We got some fun shots together in our bridal party tshirts and with the flower girl. I don't know why everyone is not in this picture!
Then the ladies got dressed, my cousin delivered my flowers and the photographer arrived to take detail pics, then went to take pictures of the men and I started to get dressed. I got dressed, and he came back to get pictures of us with my family. Then we headed to the venue. Boy was it hard to get in the car with my huge dress I am just thankful my parents had an SUV.
There ceremony was very sweet and short and the wishing stone ceremony went over really well and when we poured the stones nothing broke!! I teared up a little bit when I saw FI and my dad and mom cried but not FI.
After the ceremony we went to take pics on the golf course and got told we had to stay off the green. Oops. Then my sister blew up at me for something I said that she misunderstood and told me she was leaving and taking everyone in her family with her ( a groom’sman and the ring bearers) wasn’t going to do her speech blah blah. Someone calmed her down but it took away from some picture time so we didn’t get as many pictures as I wanted!!!
The reception was amazing! Our first dance was great and our bridal party joined us half way through. the speeches were short and heartfelt. The DJ was amazing he got everyone dancing the whole time!! Our ring bearers and flower girl were the hit of the day they danced the whole time! We had pinecones on our tables and the flower girl kept giving them out to people and then when the candy buffet was set up she would go around exchanging her pinecones for peoples candy!
Everyone loved all of our little details, the venue was beautiful, the food was delicious and our DJ was awesome. We had many guests tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Here are some more pictures! Thanks for looking:)
