Top 10 Highlights
1. My flower girl ... Ms. Hannah is my cousin Katie's daughter. She is 3 years old and SO smart. She did an awesome job and was just plain adorable. (I have been to a lot of weddings and she was one of the cutest flower girls I have seen). I mean honestly look how cute she is. -- more pictures coming soon! - My favorite story - after we cut the cake -- before the rest of it was cut, she took me by the hand and told me we needed to go get some cake... she was pretty convincing. I hope she got a piece of that yummy cake!
2. Carson - My nephew and ring bearer - My favorite Carson Quotes of the weekend... and he always has some good ones... he is 7 by the way
"I have a girlfriend, she is in high school and her name is Roma. She is going to babysit me." - at Rehearsal dinner
"You just look so beautiful" - When seeing me in my dress for the first time. Heart melting!
"When can I get married?" - After the wedding while taking pictures.
"Bo, Your my uncle now, wanna dance?" - At the reception
3. Oldest Couple Dance - Photo & Video coming soon - We did the dance where all the married couples start off dancing. Then we started eliminating couples based on how long they had been married. Bo & I were the first off the dance floor. We set this up so that .. all things going right, my Grandma & Old Man (term of endearment) who have been married for 55 years would be the last ones on the dance floor. IT WORKED! They were the last ones dancing and then we went into Blue Suede Shoes!!! As soon as Blue Suede shoes came on my grandfather knew it was a set up! He and my grandmother broke out some dance moves none of us knew they had. I hope that 55 years from now Bo & I can be the last ones on the dance floor for our grandkid's wedding. I am so lucky to have two sets of grandparents that made it past 50 years... what a blessing and great example.
Here is a photo of all the couples dancing - You can see G'ma & G'pa in the back dancing (to the left)
4. The Hot Dog Stand.... I think this photo says enough!
5. The guys boutonnieres.. Mrs. Joanna Hody - my lifelong friend, bridesmaid, wonderful wonderful person spend HOURS making these! I asked (innocently enough) if these were possible.. and she said yes.. little did we know how much work they would take.. But THEY TURNED OUT GREAT!
6. The Mother's Dance.. If I couldn't dance with my daddy, My mom is the next (and just as best) choice. I got her good by playing a jazzy version of You are My Sunshine.. My mom would sing it to me as a child... She was a little confused at first but as soon as she heard the first line she cried. :) Mission accomplished! Love you Momma! Thanks for EVERYTHING you have done to make my wedding time so special!
7. Our wedding cake - It was YUMMY!! Seriously SO GOOD! Erin Newsome, a friend, did our cake. This was her 2nd wedding cake (she has done plenty of other types of cakes) and she did such a great job! Being a new wedding vendor myself, I know how much it means to be new and get new contracts! THANK YOU ERIN!
8. The Flowers - Ok so as most know...I had not a big budget at all for this wedding... It is what it is..I was convinced we would just do the flowers ourselves... can't be that hard right? But I went to Lyn at Fresh Affairs and he said he could make it work.. and within my 'financial constraints' and BOY WAS HE RIGHT! Seriously, I could not be more pleased with the flowers.. .from the flowers on the cake above, to my bouquet, tables, alters.. WOW! And they were so great to work with. Linda at his office is on top of it! They certainly got it right!
9. This photo... and my father-in-law (2nd on the left).. I laughed out loud as soon as I saw it............ classic.
10. My wonderful Photographer! Nicole Faby Photography.. You did an amazing job capturing the most important day of my life so far! <3 you big!
