Party... for those that couldn't make it or would like to relive it

I am obsessed with Michael Buble and ended up having a little Michael Buble theme for our Ring Ceremony/Reception. The beautiful bridal party walked down to Canon in D on the piano which was then faded into Michael Buble "You and I" (it's all piano for the beginning of the song) for when I walked down with my dad. We walked back to "For Once in My Life." We were introduced with "Everything" and walked straight onto the dance floor for our first dance, "The Way You Look Tonight" (there is about a 30 second interlude where the bridal party was introduced and joined us on the dance floor to finish out the bridal dance).

We partied some (thank you Justin and Ryan... fabulous DJing!), mingled and then for the toasts. James sang acapella "I Thought I Loved You Then" by Brad Paisley (even though it was country it was a perfect song. Thanks James!!!)followed by Rebs giving me the bestest maid of honor speech/gift! A fabulous memory of happy days when we became friends and fulfilling my wish to dance to Live's "I wanna Dance with You" aka The Walking Beach Song. The memory got better with all of our friends gathering around us and blowing bubbles. It honestly couldn't have gotten better had it been planned!

My dad changed themes on me with a jazzed up waltz to "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" for our daddy/daughter dance. I let him pick the song and he couldn't have picked a better song or a better version of the song had he had years to search. It fit perfectly with our side theme of the fairy tale wedding. Rebs got us these beautiful glasses with delicate castles as stems and matching cake cutter! *Rebs, you were a life savor! We couldn't find either that we liked and were willing to commit too!* Our cake topper was a ceramic featureless couple with the guy carrying the girl. Again, perfect!

Later in the evening, Adam, Zak and James did a few patterns from TKD. It was soo awesome to watch and even more impressive with them all spiffed up in their suits and vests. It was AWESOME!!! The whole night was perfect ending with us escaping through a trail of bubbles! Off to Mexico in the morning for a week of relaxation... FINALLY!!! :)

Forever and Always

October 22, 2009 was the best day ever! Adam and I were sealed forever and always! Adam drove down to DC with his family the night before and stayed with a family friend. My sisters, brother-in-law, best friend Rebs, my parents and I all drove down that day, checked into the hotel, changed, and got to the temple with maybe an hour to spare. When we pulled in I saw Adam and James walking up the road all spiffed up in their suits and shades. Talk about some studs! We were married with some of our closest friends and family there (those that were able to make it). Barbara Colton and my mom helped me get ready and then they escaped so they could witness our entrance as husband and wife. Adams expression when he first saw me in my dress was perfect!! I gave Adam a set of cuff links with his initials engraved and he gave me a green set of scriptures with my new name engraved on them.

We were off for hugs, kisses and pictures. It was a beautiful sunny autumn day and I could have stayed out there all day just enjoying it all!! After all that fun we all headed to Red Lobster for some food (finally!!) and laughs. Not too long after we got there everyone kicked us out (so much for the food). So good-byes were said and off Adam and I went to start our married life... too bad we passed our exit and got lost on the way... haha.

We had our reception on the 24th and had the greatest time! 3 of my favorite parts: James singing for his best man speech (even though it was country I still enjoyed it!! Thanks James) Adam and I dancing to "I wanna dance with you" (Rebs, you're the best!) and all our friends blowing bubbles all around us!! Adam, Zak and James doing some TKD patters in their suits! Oh, and waltzing with my dad!!!

The next morning off we went to Mexico for a week for our Honeymoon! FABULOUS!!!!
