Inspiration board comparison

So you remember my inspiration board right? You don't!? Neither do I unless I actually look at it, so as a refresher, here it is.

So how did my wedding really turn out?


I think we did a good job of sticking with my original inspiration. Sure it's not exactly the same, but who wants a cookie cutter wedding anyway?

Day of details

These are the last of my pro pictures, how sad! :-(





Isn't she a beauty?






Bouquets


Our beautifully decorated ceremony














And our amazing and fun reception!






I love how the lights made the cake and head tables glow!




Don't worry, I'm not done with you all yet! I still have a few posts up my sleeve. :-)

Note: All pictures were taken by our photographer, Jessica Lemmons, and her assistant. Check out her amazing work here!

We had uninvited guests!!

Sorry it's taken so long to post. That's what happens when I don't have Internet.

Our recaps are done except for just a few posts. This post is about the uninvited guests we discovered luckily at the beginning of the day.

Our "lovely" uninvited guests were...ants. (Psycho music) When my aunt and uncle went to open up the reception hall and get some of the food ready, they discovered ants all over in our bags of chips. Luckily they were only in the chips and not anything else and my aunt and uncle were able to run to the store and buy more. Phew! But just to be safe, they also bought ant traps to put in the kitchen and under a couple of tables near the kitchen door.

Here are one of our pro pics

See the little red circle in the corner behind us? Ant trap

So glad this didn't turn into the catastrophe is could have been, but we just laughed it off.

Two down, one to go

My brother's wedding was this last weekend and it was gorgeous! It was an outside wedding and the weather was perfect, if just a tad warm, but we were all in shade most of the day. Here are just a few pictures.




Oh yeah, and all of the groomsmen wore swords :-)











Katie had spent the day and the house next door getting ready so when it was her turn to walk down the aisle, her uncle drove her down from the other house with her matron of honor.








Tim trying to see his bride.










Her poor dad kind of broke down when he handed her off to Tim


The ceremony was short, sweet, and to the point.


They had a quick sermon, said their vows, and then signed their marriage certificate




And then they were pronounced husband and wife


And got to kiss


Here are the two proud papas


For dinner they roasted a pig on a spit




Their first dance was a gorgeous make out session ;-)












The cake was rather untraditional, but very tastey! It looked kind of like a birthday








Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the bouquet toss.

After all of the festivities and lots of dancing, they were off on their honeymoon to Spain...for 6 weeks!


Next up is my sister's wedding in two months! Yikes!!
