Our Wedding!

Our wedding seems like a logical place to start a blog about our life. I am very happy in my marriage, but I have to say that my wedding was definitely the best day of my life. Just looking at the pictures brings back the best memories! I had a lot of fun picking out the photos to use for this post.

Our wedding took place at 5:30pm at Nathan's grandparents' lake in Alexandria, KY. It was a beautiful sunny day on June 26th, 2010. Everyone always tells me it was a really hot day, and I even see sweat on my face in the photos, but I don't remember the heat! I guess it was just the last thing on my mind. My grandpa walked me down the aisle. My uncle let us borrow his corvette to drive to the ceremony, and I remember as we pulled up I all of a sudden felt like I was going to throw up. I kept repeating "I don't feel good, I really don't feel good" until it was time to walk down the aisle! Then the adrenaline kicked in. My heart was racing for quite a while through the ceremony. Seeing Nathan's face made me feel a little more comfortable. I just couldn't wait to kiss him! :)

Taking photos afterwards was so fun! At first it was a little awkward, but then we got more comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely loved our photographer, Wendy Burk.



We had our reception at Shimmers in Covington, KY. I remember my grandma went with me to see it the first time and thought it was terrible! It did look a little rough on the inside (not bad, but not what you would expect for a wedding reception) but I knew it would look totally different once all our stuff was in there. We made all the centerpieces ourselves!  Quite a bit of our decor was actually DIY. We shared our first dance as a married couple to "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. We had so much fun dancing the night away.

I am so lucky to have such a supportive family. They helped me turn my wedding day into everything I wanted it to be. Nathan got everything he wanted too, because his only goal was to end the day married! I am also very thankful to be a part of Nathan's family. This day was the beginning to a very bright future. There are so many exciting things ahead, and I can't wait to see where life takes us. ♥

If anyone is interested, here are a few links to the services we used:

Party Pleasers DJ & Lighting They seriously transformed the venue for our reception with the lighting, and the DJ was very interactive and kept the party going all night!

Shimmers Ballroom It turned out to be a great venue once it was transformed, and cost considerably less than every other venue we looked at.
