The Challenge= Our wedding Vows

This weeks challenge:
To Remember. Remember the day we entered our sacred vows. Post pictures and blog about it.


Today is Thursday so I am a little late on the challenge but I am now getting to the blogging part.

I have spent the week thinking back on our wedding day and all the fun memories from that day and the few days before.
The women in my family and my church family helped me plan the special day and decorate the church. Being part of the decorating gave me a great feeling like everything was tied together, the over stressing person I can be started thinking that if one thing did not follow the plan it would all be messed up. My sweet Justin kept giving me hugs and telling me it was all going great! That has always been something great he does for me when I am stressing, his calm reassurance that it will all turn out great.

Since we both agreed when planning the day that since we do not believe in luck we would not worry about preventing the groom from seeing the bride before walking down the aisle.

We were able to take pictures before my mascara ran down my face and while he was still some what shaky.

Justin's little sister who was about 4 at the time made such a pretty flower girl, as she headed down the aisle I heard laughing and did not know until later that half way down she drooped all the flowers looking ahead she seen her other brother Josh (the best man) and since he was laughing she stuck out her tongue and started walking faster.

We decided together to write our own vows, that made our wedding unique and even more special.
I remember each of us smiling nervously laughing as we missed a few of the things we had wanted to say. Since the only one who knew each of our vows besides us was the pastor, who by the way was my dad it was not a big deal that we missed a few words.
When planning the big day I made a Cd of all the songs we wanted, among the ones I remember are Butterfly Kisses (my dad walked me down the aisle) My Best Friend (as we left the sanctuary) and Forever and Ever Amen (one of the few dances I had for just the bride and groom).
As we walked out of the church sanctuary we greeted each of our guests and sent them to the reception.

As we left the church with our family and friends cleaning we were able to get our stuff ready for our Honeymoon getaway from my wonderful in-laws.
We met my family at the only nice restaurant still open at 8 and began our relaxing period. As we headed for out on our honeymoon we talked the whole 3 hour drive about the day, what we liked the best, how glad we were that it did not snow to much, and we laughed when we realized both of us missed some of our vows.
Though we Both remembered "Forever, I Do".
