8 years

WoW.. can't believe it has been 8 years.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day. 

 

landscaping hands do clean up !

 we're trying to leave unnoticed.

 

 

My specific instructions to the flower lady, I don't care for XYZ ( calla lillies and a white rose bouquet), I would prefer something creative and not straight out of a book.

 It had so many unique flowers, I was elated!

 

Me & My Siblings.

 

 



  My one flower request.. lily of the valley.  too small for my bouquet.. so perfect on hubs. they are only in season for a couple of weeks. The year we got married they happened to just start blooming. our wonderful flower lady( who did the flowers at our church & did them for our wedding) had them in her yard, they are not something we can get at florists around here . She made him a second buttonaire for the evening made out of a single rose. Lily of the Valley would not last through all the hugging, kissing, embracing that would go on throughout the night.

The reception was movie themed, my husband loves popcorn & his dream was to have popcorn at the wedding.

 

 

So everyone walked in on the red carpet.. and some celebrities even showed up.

 

Even had to worry about the Papparazzi.

 

 

 

 

We had almost 280 people in a space made for 240.. So the 40+ kids at our wedding got to hang out with some cool clowns, balloon artists, and sweet ladies for the evening. They had games, crafts, and movies to entertain them while the adults were able to enjoy dinner peacefully, the kiddos joined us for dancing and dessert later.

 

Our Cake.. For Us & Us alone. The crystal figurine was borrowed from my sister & her cake.

flowers were left from the bridesmaids & groomsmen bouquets.

 

 

 

 

Our guests desserted on Cupcakes, Cheesecake, Tarts, Brownies, Magic Bars, Eclairs, Fresh Fruit, and POPCORN .

 

 

 

Chocolate Shot glasses.

 



 

 

Flowers on the tables . Orchids & Pink Lillies.

 

 Thanks for going down our trip down memory lane today.

 

 

 

Might I add, it rained the entire day !! I spent the week before my wedding planting flowers in the gardens outside our church so we could have lots of color for the outdoor pictures.. It torrential downpoured all day. My hair had to be 'reconstructed' from the original plan, because the humidity was just not having the original plan.. I got no pictures taken outside..  

If that was a precursor to my future, Let go & Let God.
