Well it is official (and I am late). We were married on the COLDEST day October 4th has ever seen, a day with snow and hail, gray skies, and of course, a very happy new couple. We were supposed to be married outside, but were instead married in a very romantic indoor ceremony that could not have been more perfect. We felt surrounded by love and could not have dreamed of a better "party" to celebrate our love for one another. 
Here are some of my FAVORITE moments from the "Best Day Ever"
1. jumping on the bed with your favorite ladies is a MUST on your wedding day! I feel so blessed that the "getting ready" part of the day was honestly stress free! I was nervous and couldn't eat much, but we certainly weren't running around doing anything and I wasn't worried about things not getting done. It helped to have the best wedding planner (Cynthia @ Bosc and Brie!) and great friends who oversaw some things for us at the venue.
2. riding the trolley to the venue was seriously a blast! I was getting nervous (not about marrying my man, but silly me was so stressed about wanting my guests to LOVE my wedding and I was stressing about it being perfect for OTHERS) and this great trolley (Columbus Trolley) had some mood lighting and jammed out some jams for us! It was the best, basically. (mood lighting not pictured...)
3. Walking down the aisle with my dad was basically the best thing that could have happened, and at precisely the right time. I was, again, nervous about all the people who would be looking at me and judging me (I'm not skinny enough, my dress isn't pretty enough, etc etc stupid girl worries) and my dad gave the best advice "when we turn the corner, you don't look at anyone in that room. You find christopher, lock your eyes on him, and never move them". Wow! I listened like the straight A student that I am, and it was the best decision I made!
4. Seeing my groom was such a thrill. I had missed him all day and was so excited to be standing by him. Our ceremony was seriously the most romantic thing ever. We wrote our own vows (please please do this) and it was an incredible thing to hear the man I love tell me how he loves me. The other best part of the ceremony was my dear friend Katie singing such an important song to me. It is the song I sang to my mother while she was on Hospice in our family home, over and over and over again. And a song that continues to help me see that God is Love, and from Him comes all Love. I loved singing it to my groom, and honestly during these few minutes I forgot the hundreds of people watching us. 
5. The dances were SO fun! I loved rocking out with my dad, and snuggling close to my man friend. I loved gettin' down with my girls, and twirling my favorite little boys. The dance floor was certainly where to be.
Basically it was just fantastic. Hope everyone loved our wedding as much as we did!!
