Show Us Your Life--Wedding Party, Flowers, & Ceremony

Kelly's Corner "Tell Us Your Life Friday" had a great theme today that I just couldn't pass up sharing with you! Our wedding day was by far the happiest day of our lives. It was so peaceful and Holy. Pieces of us want to remember that feeling in our heart forever. It was such a perfect day; exactly how we wanted it!
We got married June 21, 2008. Although the entire day was completely unforgettable, I will share special moments from our day that made it truly incredible!When I woke up my mom and dad gave me the sweetest letter, lists of firsts and lasts, and my dad's Bible.
My brother found a four leaf clover that day, his first one, and gave it to me sobbing..as he did throughout the day. I carried the clover in my bouquet. I got to hold my soon to be husband's hand before we actually saw each other walk down the isle. It was shaking yet comforting at the same time.

My flowers were the MOST glamorous flowers that I have EVER seen! I loved them so much!I actually felt like a queen carrying them..and of course the dress and tiara topped the queen feeling off just right! I carried pink esperance roses and white freshian with white ostrich feathers. The bridesmaids carried white freshia with smaller ostrich feathers. It was truly glamorous!Just before my father walked me down the isle, we had the Michael W. Smith song, Cinderella played. This song reflected perfectly mine and my fathers relationship. As a baby he would always dance with me. Once the song started playing he asked me to dance. We were a crying mess, but it was truly an unforgettable moment!

My favorite moment was when the sanctuary doors opened and I saw my Groom waiting for me at the end of the isle with tears in his face and I had all the people that I loved so much all in one room! I walked down the isle to the most awesome bagpipe song ever and it still gives us chills. A moment before I walked in the sancuary we cued the window covers to come up and the lights to come on! It was the perfect effect! Just thinking about it makes my heart race.

I surprised John with a song that I sang and had recorded for him just before my dad gave me away. When my groom said his vows to me I could have melted in the floor. It was so special. And once it was my turn, I had forgotten for a split second I had to do it too and I cried cried cried through every word. The vows were so special to us and we honored every word.

We walked out as Man and Wife to "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" by Starship. Blue rhinestoned shoes and all! It was a happy happy moment!
Our wedding party was too much fun! We have got some awesome friends!My grandaddy was there, and that was a blessing in itself! He took pictures the whole time on his camera. It was adorable.My best friends/bridesmaides were all abolutly stunning and so awesome the entire day.The groomsman never looked so good in the pink! They were such men, and some were surprisingly excited about the pink vests!

The moment spent with my husband after the ceremony were breathtaking, romantic, and unforgettable.

The father of a lifelong friend of mine offered us his classic Thunderbird convertable to go away in! He was super excited about it, and so were we! We knew it would be nice and wanted it to be a complete surprise to see right as we were leaving. It was a fun little surprise for the both of us and truly classic getaway as Husband and Wife! Now, it wouldn't even be a post today if it weren't for our amazin photographer. Her name is Jodi Richfield in Jodi Richfield Photo. She was absolutly perfect. She captured the mood and essence of our day. We are so thankful for her and her amazing gift that she has and shared with us!
