We're Married!!!

Well the planning and preparations are finally over and we are officially Mr. and Mrs.! I could not get over how well everything went. It just goes to show that you CAN have a beautiful perfect wedding on a tiny budget. Just to give you a rundown, we had about 55 guests which included the family and close friends. James' dad and youth minister officiated and my mom had friends do the music and coordinate. Everything came together so perfectly and I don't think I would change a thing.

We are really looking forward to getting our pictures. Grace from Grace Photography does beautiful work! Here's a little sample she gave us until she finishes the other pictures.

THis is about 30 minutes before the ceremony. All us ladies were crammed in the tiny bridal room and were, of course, acting a little silly. I at least managed to get that last Diet Coke in before the wedding!

We had our reception at Corky's BBQ. We had a lot of family traveling so I wanted to make sure we fed them well!

As a bride I can certainly testify how hard it is to remember to keep your wedding Christ-centered in the midst of all the stress. However, it is so important to remember what you are promising to God and to each other. The wedding should be a symbol of that.

Afterward, we spent Christmas in Gatlinburg, TN.

I guess it should feel like the excitement is over but I'm really looking forward to moving in together and actually getting to use all our shower gifts!!!
