Hey guys!! Oh my I have missed you all SO much! I cannot log on to JM from home so I had to wait it out until I got back to work! I feel SOOOO out of the loop, please give me any updates on you all that you can!
Im warning you ahead of time that this will most likely be very long!
Anywho, our wedding was AMAZING absolutely the best day of our entire lives. And as I was told a million times that it would, it FLEW by way too fast! I have said to Jason so many times that I want to go back to that day!
It was just the most amazing day of my life, I cant even explain it! Oh and those of you who know how many dang people were invited to the wedding, I was sooooo pleased when only like 75 showed up to the wedding part, it made it so much nicer and intimate.
The rehearsal/rehearsal dinner was so much fun! The rehearsal lasted for like an hour and a half!
Which is really long! We just had so much fun I think thats why it took so long, and we had my step dad who was going to be playing live music on the acoustic guitar so we wanted to get all the timing worked out perfectly. Then we all met at dinner at a nice, but laid back italian restaurant where we ate out on the deck because the weather was amazing! Heres a couple pictures I only got a few of that night
My sister has a ton more but she hasnt uploaded them yet.
Me and my groom!
Me and my best friend Ashley, who was a bridesmaid
Then after dinner, I dropped Jason off at his parents house and Ashley came and spent the night with me so I wouldnt be all alone in our house! I guess I was soooo exhausted from all the things I had done that day and stressing...etc because I fell asleep almost as soon as we got home!
That was a good thing though because I would need all the sleep I could get for the next day! I woke up at 6:30 the next day and I was sooo nauseous! I dont know why though, I wasnt nervous or anything maybe just the excitement that that day I had waited so long for was finally here! It was the most amazing feeling all you married ladies probably know what im talking about! So we went to our hair appointment at 8am and I started getting so excited! lol I was soooooo calm though, somehow! I think I realized theres no need to stress or anything anymore, it was all out of my hands at this point and I just wanted to sit back and take in every moment. Then me, my sis, and two bridesmaids where done by 10:00 and we had to get back to my house for my makeup appointment...so the other two girls who werent done yet had to stay and get their hair done and meet up with us later. I got my makeup airbrushed on which was the BEST decision, I was debating doing it myself or getting it done for the longest time but airbrush makeup looks amazing and it lasted ALL day and stayed exactly how it was when she put it on until 3am that night! (well technically next morning!) Then I had to do 2 of my bridesmaids makeup! lol They like how I do eyeshadow apparantly. I didnt know if I'd have time to do it or if i'd be too stressed, but like I said I was so calm and actually had time so I said what the heck!
Then we packed up and left my house at 12:00 for the ceremony (the church is at least 45 minutes away in no traffic so thats why we had to leave so early, wedding was at 2pm) It was so fun driving there, everyone saw me with my veil and they were honking and smiling
it was so funny and we stopped for a soda and the people were so nice, it just made the day that much more special. So we got to the church at about 12:55 and after unloading the car and taking a look at the church all decorated (which my grandma did an amazing job setting up and taking down everything for me, it looked just how I pictures it!!) it was time to start getting the bridesmaids dressed then me!!! I sent a bridesmaid to give Jason his card I got for him, and she brought one back for me from him, that was the first time I cried that day!! The card was soooooo sweet. Then I got dressed which required alot of help!
My mom was crying, Jasons mom was crying, my friends & sister were crying...etc. Then some pictures and it was ALMOST time. I remember exactly it was 1:55 and i was freaking out!! I kept trying to peek out the door but no one would let me! Then the music started for the grandparents and parents to walk out and I started bawling, the girls were peeking out the door at what was going on, and when they told me that it was jason walking his mom down the aisle now, and he was really crying I started crying bad!
I couldnt stop!!! Just to hear that music playing that we planned for our wedding and to have all the things we planned on actually happening NOW was the most amazing feeling. That song was Keith Urban "Only you can love me this way" and we picked it because it was so perfect for us and now it means even more to us, I cant even hear it without crying! (Okay, im at work right now and i listen to the radio on my computer and "only you can love me this way" just came on and im crying!
) Then it was Keith Urban "I wanna be your everything" for the bridesmaids...I cant even explain how I felt when that song ended and i knew it was my turn!!!!! So the curtains closed, and my song (canon in D on acoustic guitar which was BEAUTIFUL) started I literally cannot explain how I felt so I wont even try. The curtains opened and i saw my groom and we just locked eyes the entire time I walked down the aisle. He looked SOOOO handsome, I said that to him a million times that day! It was so cute he was like "your dress is BEAUTIFUL babe" and he stressed the beautiful, he is so picky with wedding dresses so i started to think he wouldnt like it but he loved it. Jason cried the entire time I walked down the aisle and all throughout the ceremony it was sooo touching. Even now people are like "I couldnt even LOOK at Jason without tearing up!" even like his really manly guy friends!
We did the hand ceremony which I dont know if you all know what that is but it was SO beautiful, thats when I started crying. It was PERFECT. Not one thing went wrong that day I have to add, I cant believe it my friend Ashley kept saying how that never happens!
Nothing went wrong, and everyone had such a great time! She said it was the wedding of the century!
Riiiiiiight....
I couldnt believe it when we were pronounced husband and wife! I've waited my whole life to get married...to know who the man will be that ill spend the rest of my life with, and here I am..it is Jason and he is the most wonderful man and I am so lucky that it is him that I got to marry that day. As my mom says "I can know I will always be taken care of with Jason by my side, in every way possible" and that doesnt mean like financially or anything but he'll do everything in his power to make sure I am happy everyday of my life, as I will for him too.
We took a few pics at the church, then got on our party/limo bus to go to a pretty park to take more pics before the reception. That was SO fun!
Then we got to the reception, and we chose a "fun" song to be announced to it was The Black eyed peas "Ive got a feeling that tonights gonna be a good night" it was sooooooo fun
I laugh just thinking about it, we actually got everyone to dance in when they were announced, and then Jason and I did too! It was so funny! Then the toasts, first dances, and cutting the cake! Our first dance was so amazing. My sister's speech literally had everyone in the place crying! lol It was soooo special and written so perfectly it was beautiful. The best mans speech was HILARIOUS, so it was a good mixture of crying and laughing!! Our photobooth and candy bar were a HIT!!!!!! People were talking about them all night! Were getting a cd with the photobooth pics soon, so ill share those when i get them!
I dont know if you all remember but I was pretty sad that jason didnt want to get a hotel, but it actually was a good decision, we didnt get home till about 1 and then didnt go to bed till about 3 then had to be up at 7 so it wouldve been such a waste of money! Jason did surprise me with a bubble bath and candles and it was soooo romantic anyways!!
We left at 11 for our honeymoon which was AMAZING...but ill make that a different post when I get those pics on the computer!
Oh, and were ntnp...
Onto the pics!!! If your on facebook, youve probably already seen these! Sorry!
