wedding week - 2

i remember seeing the bridal party slowly disappear into the chapel. and then it was just my dad and i. i remember looking into the back of the chapel and seeing my aunt. thats when the tears started. i remember walking down the aisle, trying to see the hubs through all my tears. i honestly dont remember anyone in the congregation at that time.

i remember singing. and hearing the message. and just loving every word of it. how it seemed to just fit us perfectly. and again, the time flew by. so quickly. before i knew it we had our first kiss. as hubs and wife.

i remember walking down the aisle. finally seeing who was all there supporting us in this happy day. i remember escorting them all out and then heading to the reception.

i remember that the hubs was nice enough to stop on our way there to get me a dew. silly reception hall only carrying coke products.

i remember bits and pieces of the reception. i dont really remember from beginning to end, just pieces of time. i remember in order for us to kiss a couple had to come up and we would copy. seemed like a good idea. but man, if i woulda known what those family & friends from wisconsin were gonna do, i mighta re-thought that one. but it was a lot fun, made for A LOT of laughs and good memories.

Dave's old wrestling coach, and our pastor, showing me Dave's wrestling skills.

i remember playing the shoe game. and auctioning off that "beloved" panther picture. and dancing. there was a lot of dancing. especially with our beautiful flower girl.

i remember the cupcakes. man oh man were those cupcakes delicious. i dont even know what my favorite flavor was...but they were all so so so good.



theres a lot of other stuff i remember about the wedding and the reception. who knows maybe next year ill reminisce some more. about the dancing. and candybar. and speeches. and show you some of the great photobooth pictures. but i wont bore you with too many wedding posts right now. 

to sum it up for this year: i look back and am just so happy. we were surrounded by friends and family who loved us so much. some traveled 6 hours to be able to share in our day. some just down the block. but either way we felt loved, supported and so much more and we had such an amazing day. so thank you for all who celebrated with us.

heres to completing wedding week re-caps. and to celebrating our one year anniversary. with my favorite 5 numbers. (anyone remember those?!?)

wedding week - 1

i remember waking up that morning and feeling ready. excited. happy. and i remember getting ready with my girls. just getting ready and having fun. and having time fly by. so so so quickly.

i remember being nervous to see the hubs for the first time that day. i just wanted to be able to finally see him. to talk to him. to have him finally see the dress. and i of course started crying pretty much immediately. but after he saw me for the first time, those nerves were gone and i knew the fun was just starting.

i remember taking pictures out at the golf course. the weather was good. i remember it being sunny, i dont think it was too hot. but if it was oh well we all survived. the photographer got a lot of great photos and the bridal party held out for the "hours & hours" of pictures i  requested of them. (thanks!)

i remember sneaking a peek into the reception hall after the pictures were done. and finally being able to see what i had been envisioning in my head for the past how many months. everything looked perfect.

one year ago today...

one year ago today i married my hubs. the one who loves me more than i can fully understand. the one who makes me laugh. the one who is more patient than i ever thought was possible. the one who sticks with me even when im crazy. the one who supports my love for stupid tv shows. the one who is so much more than i can even begin to write about here.

i cant believe its already been a year. where has the time gone? seriously?!? its been fun to remember the wedding and all the festivities surrounding it these past few weeks. if you are lucky i might even put a post or two up about it. :)

so even though we are 280+ miles apart today...and im jealous that hes celebrating our favorite nephews 2nd birthday without me...and im busy working...i still love him so much and its still a pretty awesome anniversary.

18 months ago...

about 18 months ago we asked friends and family to do something for us. to save the date. for what turned out to be one of the best and happiest days of my life.

it already seems like ages ago when we were packed into an old apartment assembling these, one of the first wedding projects we tackled. seriously, its crazy how fast time flies.
