Yes, we are that cool that we were married on 9-10-11-12! And the day was
PERFECT!!!! From the Saturday (9/3/11) we arrived in New York to the Thursday two days before the wedding it rained constantly, alternating between pouring and drizzling, but it was basically constant. Then, Thursday night it cleared, Friday the sky was only half full of clouds that didn't rain, and Saturday was a cloudless beautiful.
Friday was the rehearsal at the golf course gazebo and as you can see it was pretty much the perfect setting. A gazebo amongst greenery with a lake in the background, what more could a girl ask for without actually being able to scout out sites?
Here we all are, you can't really see the lake, but no worries, it will show up later. The whole time we stood up there I was thinking, this is going to be a really nice wedding for someone, everyone looks so nice. It just didn't feel real to me. It was a little amusing I have to admit because it really was for me, it was real, and it was most definitely happening.
Here we are listening to speeches (I was really grateful I didn't have to give one, I'm terrible at speeches). One from my father and one from Bryan's. The adorable little guy you see down there is Bryan's (and now my) nephew, Chase. He is a little ball of energy, he makes all of us run around in circles and when one of us gets tired he makes someone else run with him.
The girls entering the limo the next morning. It was my first time riding a limo, I was very excited. I had to be the last in and last out though.

Isn't the cake beautiful!
Good ole cake smashing. :) He got it up my nose if you couldn't tell, gross. Yes, it certainly was.
Our first dance. "I have and I Always Will" by Dave Barnes
Father/Daughter dance. "Butterfly Kisses." Yes, we did both bawl our eyes out. The wedding wasn't really real to me until my father walked into the bridal room. Then it was suddenly real to me.
Love, love, love, love this picture!
Me and my girls all previous roommates. Erin, me, Kelli, Emily
I couldn't raise my arms as high as everyone else.
A yellow fuzzy worm that Kelli found and put on her bouquet. We're passing it from my bouquet to hers.
My first nephew, Edison Byron. Isn't he adorable? I thought so too. I had to be really careful though because he had been spitting up all day. Don't you just love babies?
Best day ever!!!!!!
