Wedding Day

So before I get started I wanted to say this. I am writing this blog post so that I can remember my wedding day, and look back on this post and remember the important things on that day. I am not going to get into every little detail of the day because then this would be the longest post ever. I’m just going to hit on the big things that I feel you would enjoy hearing about while reading this, and that I would want to remember about the day. So all that to say, I hope you enjoy reading about our wedding day!

Our wedding day was without a doubt the best day of my life. Everything was just perfect and went just the way we wanted it to. Honestly It couldn’t have been more perfect. It’s been more than two months now since our wedding and it’s still so crazy to think we are married!

The day started pretty early because the ceremony was at 2 and we had to get all of our pictures taken before. So I got up and showered, my dad made me a coffee while my mom blow dried and curled my hair. My sister did my makeup, and she did such a great job. It was so fun getting ready with all my bridesmaids. We just had a blast doing our hair and makeup, blasting music, and drinking coffee. A great time!

I had so many people tell me that if I didn’t focus on the day and every little detail that I would forget everything and it would just be a blur. Thankfully I do remember a lot of the day, though there are some moments that were just a blur!

Getting ready was so much fun, and I felt so pampered the whole morning! It was amazing how calm I felt all morning. I was just so excited and ready to get married. I hadn’t really thought about how crazy this day was going to be, I was just excited to get all dressed up and get married! I don’t think it fully hit me that I was getting married until we went to do our first look photos and I saw Kyle waiting for me. I just saw him sitting down in the distance with his back to me, and that’s when all the emotions came flooding in!

It took me a moment to collect myself, and poor Kyle had to stand there with his eyes closed until I could breathe and stop crying! Seeing his reaction when he finally opened his eyes was amazing! He was so excited and couldn’t stop smiling and he calmed me down so well. Man, that moment was amazing.

It was so awesome having a long time family friend, Pastor Dane take our photos. He took my parents senior photos, their wedding photos, my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. It was awesome!

It was also so special because he prayed with us before we got started with all the photos for the day which was such a beautiful moment.

After the first look we went down to a park to get some more pictures of us and our wedding party. It was so fun and so beautiful! One thing I remember about the day was feeling like I didn’t have to do anything. It was such a weird feeling because the day was really all about me and anything I wanted people did for me. I mean don’t get me wrong I loved all of it! But there is something weird about the feeling and everyone doing everything for you making sure you are comfortable and have what you need.

Taking all the photos with our bridal party was such a blast because we had all our best friends in our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people standing with Kyle and I on that day.

This day was honestly the best day of my life, and I try to think about it often so I don’t forget every little detail because it all meant so much to me. I am so thankful for all the people that made this day possible, and all the people that stood by me and helped me stay sane through the day! There were so many emotions on this day and basically until the moment we walked back up the aisle I was on the verge of tears the whole time. I am an emotional person so everything is an emotional experience for me. I cried a lot that day, but they were good tear!

My dad walked me down the aisle, and honestly I wish I could tell you what he was saying to me to keep me from crying but I can’t remember! I do remember at our rehearsal the night before I was starting to get emotional and my dad was saying silly things to keep me from crying. I remember he said that if I cried he would cry, and he can’t cry because that was his big moment. But I still was holding back the biggest tears in that moment because like I said I’m an emotional person! And this is why they make waterproof makeup. Hah!

The ceremony was performed by our friend Will, and he did such a beautiful job! I was so amazed by how smooth everything went, and Kyle and I even both repeated everything perfectly with no mess ups! Incredible. I was shocked that we both said everything perfect! That is something I was totally nervous about. I was so afraid I was going to mess up my vows and say something wrong, choke on my words, and have to start over. But I didn’t! Praise God!

Our wedding was just the most beautiful day of my life, and I feel so blessed by everyone who helped and made it happen. What an amazing day that I will never forget. Something that was really special was that my great grandma had passed down her wedding cake topper that she wanted all of her great granddaughters to use. My great grandparents just celebrated 70 years of marriage, and how special is it that I got to use her cake topper at my wedding. We put it on the top of the cupcake tower that my dad built for us, and it looked amazing. I was so impressed with it. And the cake was absolutely beautiful. It was simple and perfect. I loved everything about it.

I just feel so blessed by everything about our wedding day. It was the best day of my life, and I hope I never forget it. We are so happy with how it turned out, and being a little over two months into marriage we are loving it! It has been the best two months ever, and we have never been happier than we are now. While marriage is hard work, it is so worth it. I wouldn’t change how any of it has happened.

Now enjoy a couple of my favorite pictures from the day 🙂
