Looking back on our wedding

So I'm married (woo!). Our wedding day was truly perfect and went off without a hitch. The day started off with Jim and I taking the dogs for a walk and sipping on some coffee at home while we waited to start the day. The bridesmaids and I went to the venue at noon to start decorating and getting our hair done. When I arrived I was shocked to see that all the chairs for the ceremony and reception had already been set up, and our DOC (day of coordinator) was already putting together the centerpieces, she had everything under control! 

The one thing I wasn't looking forward to was measuring and cutting burlap runners for all the tables, and that was already done when I got there! So I went back to the bridal suite (which was basically a 2 bedroom house, huge) and ate some breakfast tacos while chatting with my ladies. 

The whole afternoon was stress free, and I spent most of my time gretting family and then adoring my beautiful flowers when they arrived. Jim and I did a 'first look' since we were planning on taking all family pictures before the ceremony started. 

I wasn't nervous at all until our DOC started getting the bridal party ready for the ceremony to start. I looked at my dad and said, "If you feel the need to say anything sweet or nice to me before this thing gets going, shut it because if you say anything I will lose it." His reply was, "Well I don't even like you anyway so why would I say anything nice?" :)

I was super nervous when the ceremony started but we all got through it and I managed to keep it together until the bridal party walked back down the aisle after the ceremony was over and Shelley said something sweet and then I started crying. So unthoughtful of her ;)

The reception was a blur and flew by. I spent the entire night either in the photo booth or on the dance floor. I don't have any professional pictures back yet, but when I do I'm sure they'll show up on the blog!
