I'm Back + Sneak Peak of Wedding Photos

Hey hey!  Look who's back after a 3-week break!  The last 3 weeks were truly the most amazing weeks of my life. My wedding day was an absolutely dream come true and I can honestly say that I would not change a single thing... ok, except maybe the cost because DAAAAANG weddings are expensive!  :P  That said, I still think it was worth it! 

We totally lucked out and did not have a single drop of rain on our wedding day.  We got so lucky as that was the only day that week when it didn't rain and it all-out POURED the day after the wedding. So God was definitely smiling down on us on our wedding day.  It was pretty cold, though. I was definitely shivering when we took our outdoor photos as it was in the 40-50s. I was envious of Phil's warm suit!  But I did absolutely love my dress so it was worth all the shivering. 

I will be sharing some more detailed posts about the wedding day once I have the professional photos back. The day was such a blur and went by so incredibly fast.  I can't wait to get the photos back so I can re-live the day and see all the different details!

However, I know some of you are anxious to see some photos, so here are some of my favorites that some of my blog friends took!  Most of the credit for these go to Becky! Having Becky at your wedding is like having another shooter because she takes and shares soooo many photos!  So if you are friends with her on social media, you probably felt like you were there!  Becky, thank you so much for all of the photos! 

This was one of the "sneak peek" photos shared by our photographer!

Phil and I with my parents!

Walking down the aisle with my dad to marry my one true love

Surprisingly, I did not cry on my wedding day but I came close when I hugged my dad!

Not the most flattering photo but this is my "oh my gosh we are getting married" face!

This is another sneak peek from the photographer that she took on our walk from the church to the reception! The "oh my gosh we are married" look on my face was a common expression that day!

Me and the many bloggers that traveled far distances (Iowa, New York, Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, British Columbia, California, Illinois, North Carolina, and St. Louis!!) to be there on our special day!

There aren't adequate words to describe how magical our wedding day was.  From the guests to the speeches (which were so amazing!) to the food (especially our amazing dessert table which included macarons) to the conversations - it was an amazing day from start to finish. I even got called "Bride-chilla" by the hair and make-up ladies because I was so relaxed on the morning of my wedding.  I will say that the afternoon/evening before the wedding was NOT relaxing and I was kind of stressed and sort of lost my mind/couldn't keep track of what I needed to do very well, but I'll tell you more about that in another post.  I can laugh about it now but it was not my favorite day! But I am glad I got that out of the way before the wedding so I could truly enjoy my wedding day and not worry about a single thing!  I did not spend a single minute stressing or worrying about anything on the wedding day - all thanks to my amazing day-of coordinator who took care of every single detail.

Since I won't have wedding photos until later this summer, my first series of posts will focus on the honeymoon (which was AMAZING - best trip EVER!).  I'll start to share those posts in the next week or so.

But for now, I'm basking in being a newlywed. And I'm so glad I decided to take yesterday and today off to get our house back in order.  My to do list is OUT OF CONTROL but it feels good to get our life back in order!

What's new with you?
