Our Wedding

March 21 finally arrived after many months of planning, stressing, creating, decision making, designing, sewing, and paying attention to every detail to make our day special. And I could not have asked for a better day.

The day started with a bridesmaid lunch to honor my closest friends given by my aunts.

I do not know what I would have done without their friendship over the years. I am lucky to have found such a great group of friends.
Matt and the groomsmen were rather relaxed. They enjoyed a few games of basketball before the wedding!

One of my bridesmaids, Claire, started this bracelet for a friend, Elizabeth, who got married. Claire added a charm with the date of Elizabeth's wedding. Elizabeth wore it in her wedding and added a charm for me. I wore it and added another charm for the next friend who got married. The bracelet will make its way to each of our friends and the last friend will get to keep the bracelet to pass on to her daughter.

I absolutely loved how my flowers turned out!










I love this picture of Matt before the wedding...he doesn't look nervous at all!

Matt's face seeing me for the first time.

It is official...we are married!

All the cousins at the gazebo. The gazebo was dedicated to our church in memory of my great aunt.

Leaving the church, this is my favorite picture of the day!

Our first dance as husband and wife!

Time to cut the cake!

The groom's cake turned out great.

Sprinkled with rose petals from the Mayor!
