It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a.... Mrs?!?

Well well well. Let's all just forget about the fact that this was my new year's resolution (to blog), but I haven't even touched the site since January. =P Since we're half-way through 2013, we'll just conveniently forget about the last 1/3 of my 2012 in review. So, let's just jump right to it...

(I just got distracted by a weatherman on TV trying to be funny and say that it was "muy cala-hente"... I've never felt more needed as a Spanish teacher!)

Anyway...

(Also, Shaun White is on the Today show and actually looks good! No more bushy orange afro!)


Ok. Turning the TV off...


We got married!! Nathan and I said "I do!" on June 7th in the candlelit chapel at Nathan's home church. We were surrounded by our dear friends and family, including my uncle and Nathan's best friend's dad, who co-officiated the ceremony. The girls and I walked down the aisle to "Come Thou Fount" played on the piano and acoustic guitar. I'm told that it was beautiful, but I didn't even hear a thing. I didn't see or hear anything except Nathan. I don't think I even looked at my mommy!!


After the ceremony and a lightning fast round of formal pictures, we headed over to a golf club for the reception. Our amazing photographer, Nathan and I took off in golf carts to take advantage of the GORGEOUS sunlight that we had at 7:00. When I say amazing photographer, I mean... amazing. We're still waiting on all the pictures, but the ones that I've seen could easily be in any wedding magazine (because of him, not because of us!). After a few group shots, we headed in for the big announcement into the banquet room. And of course, Nathan wouldn't be Nathan without doing a split in the middle of the dance floor.








We ate (and OH! Was it good!), we drank, and we were merry (and married!). My beautiful little sister teamed up with our good friend (and her vocal teacher) to serenade us at the reception. There were few dry eyes after their rendition of "I see the light" from Tangled. After the touching, albeit comical toasts, we burned up that dance floor! One of the highlights of the night was seeing my new mother-in-law on the dance floor during "Sexy and I know it". Our super photographer also set up this fun photo-booth, providing some really fun pictures :) Here we are with my sister and her fiance...



As the night wound down, our lovely guests sent us off with a tunnel of sparklers, creating some awesome pictures.



Over the last several weeks, Nathan and I can't stop talking about the wedding! We have decided that if we were to go back in time and do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing! The attire, venue, decor, flowers, hair, photographer, DJ, and cake were all perfect. I would highly recommend any of the vendors we used to anyone getting married in the Dayton area (and it was all on a tight budget, too!!).

Here are some more pics:

(See? Awesome light!)





Our super awesome wedding party



Well, there's the official report! So tell me, if you were at our wedding, what was your favorite part!? Or, what was your favorite part of your own wedding? Have you been to any weddings where something was extremely awesome? Or maybe a little disturbing?? Share your thoughts (but let's not name names for horrifying weddings haha)

Peace out <3
