Newlyweds

Oops! So I said you'd hear about the wedding in about a week..and here we are almost an entire month later! First and foremost, I am so glad the wedding is over! Much easier on the stress levels this way, lol. Forgive me, but I'm totally going to just copy something I typed up for WeddingBook, make a few adjustments and go from there. :)

So, October 18th, it was fantastic, but blew past so fast! It rained all morning as I had breakfast with my dad (a family tradition), and then the church was locked when I got there at 11, so Jake had to show up, (as my family pulled me away so we wouldn't see one another) to unlock the church. Thankfully, sometime between being shoved into a bathroom with my wonderful mothers and bridesmaids working on my hair and makeup the weather cleared up to a beautiful warm and sunny day.

Waiting to go down the aisle....holy crap, the whole time I thought I was going to walk in and just being a bawling baby, being carried down the aisle by my dad and step dad. Thank goodness it didn't happen like that. I walked in, saw Jake, and I couldn't stop smiling. I teared up during "I Will Be Here" which a friend of ours sang before we exchanged vows....which was slightly comical altogether. My wonderful husband had our own personal vows "ninja-d" inside his tux and totally pulled them out all smooth-like for our exchange.

Afterwards, it was a bunch of hugging and thanking people I didn't know, or possibly would know if I'd been able to look at them more than two seconds, lol. More than anything I wanted to be with my new husband. We finished all the formal shots while everyone else went to go enjoy the food for the reception. We got time for a few bites ourselves, then the toasts, tosses, cakes, and my favorite, the dances. I've never felt so alone in our little world. Of course everyone's favorite part we missed until afterwards, but my wonderful 4 yr old niece, Kylie, saw me dancing with my dad after Jake and commented loudly, as all children do () "I can't believe she's dancing with other men already!" Gotta love kids!

We then had our fake-exit which involved getting in our wonderfully stickered-up car.... scrapbook stickers...you know with the little foam backing...DO NOT go on windows! They're a pain in the butt to get off, lol. Anyway, back to the fake-exit, we pulled out of the church, and pulled back in the other entrance lol. Took more pictures and then headed off with the photographer to downtown, just the two ...er, three of us. That was a blast, unfortunately I don't have her pictures in yet...so you can enjoy these!
