Married!

Well it's official...I'm MARRIED!!!! Yesterday was awesome, all the stress and anxiety and craziness of the past 15 months was totally worth it. I will be doing more in depth recaps after the honeymoon and once I have all the professional pictures back which should be in the next two week or so. Our photographers already said we're going on their website because we're such a good looking couple! haha.

I would love to say I was cool, calm and collected yesterday but that would be a lie. I was stressed and anxious up until the ceremony but ONLY because of the weather which was overcast all day. All the sites kept giving different times for when the rain would start. The girls arrived dressed at the venue at 4 so we got pictures outside as did the boys once they arrived at 4:30.

My main concern was starting the ceremony outside and then having it start raining in the middle of everything. So when it started raining about 30 minutes before the ceremony I actually relaxed because I then knew we would definitely be inside and I was fine with it. It's stressful not knowing where your wedding ceremony is going to be held or what things look like. My inner control freak was having a hard time.

I have to say though I'm actually GLAD it rained and that the ceremony was inside because it was BEAUTIFUL. My coordinators and everyone involved did an amazing job with the setup and it was better than I imagined. The room was full of flowers and candles and dimmed lights and with the rain outside it was very romantic and pretty. Much prettier than I think it would have been in the garden. And I ended up with the "church" like wedding that I actually always imagined when I was growing up.

The ceremony was beautiful, Kristian got very teary when I was walking down the aisle and throughout the ceremony. I actually kept giggling because the whole thing was just so surreal and cool. I loved every moment!

Afterwards the rain had died down a bit so we were able to take some really cool pictures outside which I think will turn out awesome.

The reception was fun, the food was great, everyone loved our signature drinks and the sparkler send off was a huge hit!!

Now I'm home and we're trying to pack and get everything ready before we leave tomorrow for St. Lucia. I can't wait to do full recaps and show a TON of pictures! Until the Pro pictures come in these will have to due courtesy of my bridesmaid Kelli. Enjoy!

I LOVED my hair. The hairpiece I bought was awesome and gave me so much more length and volume and nobody knew it was fake until I told them.

Before the announcemets, Kristian actually bustled my dress for me!! He has many talents.

Our AMAZING cake!

I hope everyone has a great week and I'll catch up with everyone when I get back.
