wedding post three

   

   

the one piece of advice that i tried to carry with me the whole day was "remember what the day's really about -- you two getting married. it's not about the food, dress or anything else. it's about your love for each other & nothing more." you know, now that i think about it, that's probably why i was so calm & collected. i wasn't worried about anything. the only thing on my mind was seeing M waiting for me at the end of the aisle. ME of all people. i couldn't wait to be his & he be mine. if i focused on that i knew no matter what went wrong nothing could ruin my day. i just got done talking to my mama about how the wedding feels like a lifetime ago yet it's wild to think that M & i have been married almost a year. how is that? either way, i'm glad i have these pictures as a way to remember that day by. 

thank you all for your sweet comments. i hope you enjoyed looking at them as much as i do :)

only 3 more days!!!

wedding part two

   

   

i look at these & realize how young we were/are. we're babies in these pictures & happy babies for sure. marrying M was the single greatest moment of my life. 

i love that man. 

the rest of our wedding will be posted tomorrow :)

wedding part one

  

 

   

    

july 15th marks our first anniversary. yep we're still really new to marriage. many have begged asked for a wedding post but somewhere in the past i told myself i wasn't doing one until our first anniversary. impressed that i managed to keep that little promise i made with myself? me too! i'm biased when i say our wedding was perfect. i can't remember a single thing going wrong that whole day. actually, the entire planning process was a breeze. maybe it had something to do with my laid-back personality & lack of bridezilla in me t/hat contributed to such a blessed day. or maybe it was because i had pinterest to guide me the whole way. the weather the week before breached 100 degrees --yuck. we worried that's how the wedding day would end up -- miserable. but fortunately it cooled off nicely & even the rain held up. we got married at four oaks manor, a charming home just a few minutes from where we each grew up. i honestly drove by the place a hundred times & never once noticed it until we were looking for venues. all it took was one look at it & we immediately fell in love with its natural state & intimacy. we knew it was the place for us. 

wedding planning is a funny thing. you plan for what will probably be the biggest party of your life for it to all end in a few hours. in my next life i'm having a wedding that last days. who wants to come?

return tomorrow for another wedding post!
