**Fair warning: The new blog is still a work in progress, but I figured a post about my own wedding anniversary would make a good "guinea pig" post.
Three years ago today I was a bride. And I loved every minute of it. In fact, my Casablanca wedding gown still hangs in the coat closet I stuck it in on the day after the wedding. Hasn't been cleaned or preserved. Just hangs there. Maybe as long as it's hanging in there it will still fit...right?
Anyway, I also love being a wife. This is probably because I have a pretty fabulous husband. I mean he cooks AND puts up with me and all my craziness so you know he's awesome!
So here's to my adorable, patient, caring, Seinfeld watching, MSU football loving, pug walking, Avett Brothers singing husband. Thank you for loving me and putting up with me everyday! xoxo
Now, for the rest of you- here are some of my favorite photos from our wedding day thanks to the amazingly talented Kristin & Aaron Byrum of Kristin Byrum Photography! And thanks to the great team at Byron's South End & Best Impressions Caterers for providing the perfect venue/environment for our wedding reception and, of course, yummy food! People still talk about how much they loved the food at our wedding. Seriously.
Enjoy! {and leave some nice comment love, k?}
Cheers!

The green shoes that started it all....
Pretending he wasn't nervous. How cute is he?!
My sister putting her veil in my hair!
One of my very favorite pictures. Ever.
LOVED my bouquet! {Thank you, Lorie!} The handkerchief wrapped around it was carried by Steve's grandmother on her wedding day and the brooch belonged to my grandmother!
The result of opening the doors to 250+ people and my then 15 month old niece saying "no no, mama!"
Yep, we were those people with the ginormous bridal party. Love 'em all!
Adore our Kate Spade toasting flutes!
Vinny {from Split Second Sound} doing what he does best...keeping the dance floor packed.
Which it was. All. Night. Long.

I didn't discover this picture until several months after our wedding (about the 127th time I'd looked at all of the pictures) and it is by far one of my favorites. Candid photography at its finest!
Steve's favorite detail from our wedding weekend - the custom cups he had to have!
At the end of the night all of our guests spontaneously circled up & sereneded us with "Piano Man"
Easily the best part of the night. Such an amazing feeling!
Congratulations and a happy remembrance. The new rebrand looks delightful as well. :)

I finally read this... today. The day AFTER our anniversary. Sorry I missed your not so subtle clues for me to read it yesterday.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. It's amazing to reflect on that day and remember all the people involved. Thanks to all of you.
And to my wife, Erica, I love you. Looking forward to more Sweet November Events in our future.
Love Steve
