Our Happily Ever After...

Salutations! It's been a while...

So, the wedding has been over for just over 2 months now and life could not be better! We just received our professional photos from our photographer and it is stirring up many memories from our amazing wedding day! From the flowers to the DJ, from the First Look to the last dance, the wedding went magnificently off without any major hiccups. Of course there were some minor set backs (no sparklers, DJ forgetting a special dance, messed up cakes, unused cocktail stirrers...), but it would not be a true, fun wedding without them! Also, you need something to laugh at when you look back!

I will recap a few details and then the day in this post. I may get winded and have to split this into more than one post.

The entire day was a whirlwind to say the least! Everyone told us that the day would go by fast so we took many married couples' advice and took it all in. We made sure to stop throughout the day and look around us and talk to each other about everything. I remember doing this and because we did, I remember even more than I would have had we just gone about our day. One thing I remember vividly is when we first entered the ballroom during the cocktail hour. It was just T and me and we walked around looking at the centerpieces, the favors, cakes, lighting, our sweetheart table, etc. I also remember our First Look VERY well, but I will explain that later.

After many discussions about videographers and whether or not to hire one, we agreed on hiring someone to tape just the ceremony. I could not be happier we chose to do this! Just before I get out of the limo with my parents, I began to have a panic attack. From then on, I do not remember many details about the ceremony. Guests told me a hopped after being pronounced husband and wife... nope, don't remember! But now, thanks to Shaun & Tim and the miracle of DVDs, I can see myself in all of my cheesy, humiliating glory!
