Now to the main event, our ceremony.
The whole thing was magical. It was the happiest 30 minutes of my life. I love how our wonderful photographer, Donna Young, captured every moment of our ceremony. I hope you can get a sense of how truly joyful, and emotional, the whole experience was for all of us.
Kenzee, our cute Junior Bridesmaid & our ring barer, little Ike...
My handsome fiance waiting for me. This is the first time I had ever seen him in his military class A's which was fun because were both seeing each other for the first time in our wedding attire.
Can I just say? Of course I can it's my blog, What a hottie!
Each guy in our wedding party carried a lit candle down the aisle that they places in a beautiful wood stand at the front of the room that we now have at our dining room table to light when we eat dinner together...
We invited only 50 of our closest family and friends to keep the experience very intimate....
GQ's cute siblings, Alley, Derek & Meagan
Our Family
Each bridesmaid also put a rose in a vase at the front of the room that is now also a centerpiece on our kitchen table...
Our dear friends Kathy & Kevin came from Louisiana for their anniversary and our wedding, we loved having them there.
Jen & Dan are Lucas' and I's couple BFF's. We instantly took to each other when starting Grad school together at Louisiana Tech. They are now getting married in a year. They came all the way from Virginia for our big day...
Brandie, Al & Kathie. Brandie & Kathie are two girls I grew up with and have long since been two of the most unconditional friends to me. Kathie flew in from Baltimore for the big day, which meant so much to us. Al is my mom's sweet husband.
Jessica is another Louisiana friend who's been through a lot of up's and down's but has always remained a sweet friend to me. Randy is GQ's step dad, a Dallas Cowboys fan, but we love him none-the-less.
Laura, Thomas (GQ's dad) and Lynzie. Three people we love!
My cute sister and bro-in-law.
Lucas see's me for the first time...
Bruce has been like a second dad to m.e I was glad he came all the way from Louisiana to escort me down the aisle.
GQ's face cracks me up here...I'd like to think he's thinking, "Oh Baby!" :)
This was probably our favorite moment of the whole day...
We both wrote vows to each other. My hands were trembling pretty good, which is bad when you're trying to read Braille. But do notice the pink Braille paper...
I laugh at some of my facial expressions. But they must be added so you can feel you were there for it all...
People we love...
I'm sure my family with love the following sequence of pictures of them all crying...
Ok, this next picture is not my most flattering, but when GQ read his vows I broke down, in a good way. It doesn't get any more real than this...
This was a sweet moment for me. I was so nervous, shaking and reading my Braille vows super slowly so GQ reached over and held my wrist to stop it from shaking, it was a sweet moment for me...
Again, another ATTRACTIVE photo. I was quite emotional...obviously.
My cute cousin Tiff, one of my best friends in the world!
My handsome husband....
Lucas' vows...(I will post our vows soon)
First kiss as Husband and Wife
After our vows we had a separate ring ceremony. The rings were tucked away nicely in a Pittsburgh Steelers pillow, as it should be.
Exchanging rings.
BE WARNED! There are LOTS of kissing pictures. No apologies.
WE"RE MARRIED!!!
It was such a beautiful ceremony. By far, our favorite part of the day.
Intimate and sweet!
