No, they can't take that away from me...

In reality, I'm speechless about my wedding. It's all kind of blurry...if that makes sense. I remember the intense shock I had when my dad went in to see if we were ready to begin and I was alone sitting in the car. I talked with God, and I thanked him for everything I could think of at that point. I was overwhelmed when my dad came out and told me everything is ready to begin when I was. It was beautiful inside, there was a room full of people who loved Christopher and me, and a room full of people who were there to celebrate our life together. I didn't think I'd cry, but of course I did. I looked and saw a tear running down dad's face and I lost it again. I don't know if there is a person who can understand that connection I have with my dad, I've never known a more selfless man and I'm so blessed to have had him walk me down the isle.

I cried, a ton. Tears of happiness, and joy. Christopher looked SO handsome and proud standing up there. I apparently was trying to sprint down to him, dad had to keep reminding me to walk slowly!

I felt so loved when Chris was saying his vows, I knew he meant them, and I knew he cared. I feel like the luckiest gal in the world, I even saw a few tears welling up in his eyes when I said my vows. For a guy who doesn't express his feelings often, he opened his gates to me on our wedding day and I'm so thankful, more than anything I needed to see that.

Dancing with my dad was an amazing moment, he assured me that I will be a great wife, he assured me that I am an amazing person. My daddy is the best, nothing can compare to him! I also know I can have him beat Chris up...hahah.

The whole show was done by 5 pm, whoo hoo for dry weddings! It all went smoothly, minus the rain, but even that let up for a little bit!

Our wedding night was fabulous! We went to the beach, ordered a pizza and got some diet pepsi and were in bed by 9! We're pretty wild, I know. I woke up sick as a dog the next day, could hardly breath and totally congested. We ended up coming home early b/c I was so under the weather =(. But I have no doubt in my mind that our wedding night was amazing, I've never received so many compliments from Christopher, it felt like the day we first met, crazy in love.

I am so so so thankful to everyone who made this day happen. I can't even begin to say thank you enough. And Thank God it's over =) Here are a couple of pictures, the first two are some tidbits Stephanie sent me and the rest I think are from family cameras! I'll post a link to my picasa when I get Stephanie's-SHE WAS AMAZING!!!




That one is my fave. I love it to pieces! I am so blessed that all of us kids love each other so much!!
