Our Wedding Day


We got married on November 7th, 2009. We had such an awesome day! Our family and friends were able to make it, no weather issues that inferred with any one's visit. In fact the weather felt like a nice summer day, mid 70s, beautiful! I wasn't sure if we would get any outdoor shoots but actually most of our pics were outdoors. Aaron and I choose November because we started dating then but I knew I was risking unpredictable weather choosing that month but it worked out in our favor.

Aaron was an amazing groom! So thoughtful and caring during the planning process and the day of he really made me feel special. He sent me roses in the morning along with some beautiful diamond earrings as a gift. He looked very handsome, kept his groomsmen under control, was timely, was a tolerable picture poser, and of course made me feel loved.

The ceremony went smoothly. It was a great feeling to finally exchange our vows and be officially married. I could feel God's presence with us during the ceremony, I felt very blessed to marrying Aaron and have our family and friends as witnesses. I was also filled with excitement, just ready to start our journey as a married couple.
The reception was just like I envisioned it for the most part. Dinner was excellent, decor was romantic, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were too but by the end I was wiped out and ready for bed. I wanted to dance and enjoy the reception longer but I just couldn't bring myself to do anymore, my dress was rubbing my sides to the point of being intolerable and I was ready to call it a night.

Aaron and I went up to our hotel room and did what we do best... eating! We really dug into this complimentary plate of cheese, crackers, fruit, chocolates and they have brought up our cake too. I think we just sat and ate for a good half hour. I was actually a really good eater all day long!

The next morning we had some breakfast with our family and friends and opened gifts. Then we stopped by home to grab our bags and off to a lake house for the next few days. My aunt has a friend who has an amazing lake cabin and she kindly set us up with it for a few days. It was a few days of much needed relaxing.

I have our wedding pictures hung up in the living room, kind of cheesy because I have so many of them up but I love reliving our day thru conversation and all the good memories that came with it. It is a great reminder of that day and so far we are really enjoying married life.
