Just had to share

This is my brother and his fiance's wedding invitation. It is so totally cute!!



Hopefully you can read it okay. :-)

Goodbye!

Well, not really, but after having a blast it is time to leave the reception.

Our car was decorated and lovely by our wedding party and friends




Nick still has some of the window clings on his car. :-)



Everyone was given bubbles and we said our goodbyes.





I had taken my shoes off while dancing, so Nick carried them for me while I hiked my dress up.

Goodbye everyone!


And we were off to our house for a wonderful night ALONE!


Our wedding was so fun and amazing and awesome and wonderful and a lot of other great adjectives! I relive it everyday so I won't forget, but I don't think I ever could anyway. I love looking at all of our pictures and am having trouble deciding what ones I want in the album and hung on our walls. *sigh*

Don't worry, my posts aren't done yet, I still have a few other things to blog about such as budget and a surprise from earlier that day.

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

Let's dance the night away!

I won't put you through ALL of our dancing pictures because there really are a ton of them! We had a blast just hanging out on the dance floor and boogieing and singing along to our favorites. I even got a group up with me during 'The Time Warp' (form Rocky Horror Picture Show) and had to teach them the dance!









"Those summer nights!" (I think that's the song here)


*sigh* Loved dancing with Nick


They are so cute!

Some of these are a little blurry, sorry.





She danced until she dropped!


Couldn't help but sneak a kiss on the dance floor



All right, that's all I will put you through. There are many, many dancing pictures because we had a lot of fun partying!

The night was winding down and it was getting to be time for us to leave and go...to bed. My next post, will be about our lovely car decorations. I can't believe my recaps are almost over!! Does anybody actually read these or am I just doing it so I can keep reliving my wedding? Or both?

I won't be posting again until after this weekend so have a safe and happy Independence Day! Happy birthday America!! (Can anybody else not believe it's already the end of June!?)

I love surprises!

This wasn't a surprise for Nick and I, but for our guests. After our special dances were over the DJ announced the lip sync contests. SURPRISE!! We had a pretty good turn out for the guys and girls separate contests and Nick and I judged and picked a winner for each. First up was the guys singing...

The guys really got into their song.








Nick and I had a hard time choosing a winner, but we finally did choose his brother as the best lip syncer. Although, this guy did pretty good too.









Haha, not much lip syncing though.

Then it was on to the girls. They lip synced to this song.

I mean, come on. What girl doesn't know every word to this song? Am I right?


Haha, my brother's girlfriend wasn't a big fan of the song.





My bridesmaid, Megan (now in purple), totally got into and Nick and I unanimously named her the winner of the girls' contest.


After the contests were over, it was time to dance the night away...in the next post. :-)

And I have tomorrow off, so happy Friday to me!!

I could have danced all night!

I loved, Loved, LOVED dancing with Nick. It started off a little rough, since we hadn't practiced, we kind of stood there for a second trying to get our feet coordinated. Once we got the hang of it, I didn't want the song to end. It is such a beautiful song, I could listen to it all day and I have before!

It was such a special time for the two of us, like no one else was in the room. Nick sang the whole song to me and I loved every second of it.










I really didn't want our dance to end, but the song faded and Nick kissed me one more time before handing me off to my dad for our dance.

He was a happy daddy that day. Not sure if he cried or not, but he certainly smiled a lot and looked handsome in his tux.






Dad & I exited the dance floor and Nick and his mother walked out and began their dance.

Nick's mother did cry which made him cry. He is her youngest son, so I imagine it was hard giving him to someone else.

Oh Grandpa. He lasted about 30 seconds into the song (if that) and started crying, which got me crying, which got EVERYONE ELSE crying.






At one point I looked over at my sister and her head is buried in my mom's shoulder because she is crying so hard. Haha, what a family we are.

After we all dried our eyes, it was time for our surprise. :-)

Happy Father's Day

I love my daddy and I was so happy to have him walk me down the aisle three months ago at my wedding. I know a lot of brides don't have that privilege for one reason or another so I am very thankful.





I love you Daddy. Happy Father's Day
