First, the Relationship: Together 3.5 years, Engaged for 14 months, Married just over 2 months.
Love at First Sight?: We met playing volleyball. He was convinced that I was going to be his next girlfriend. I spent the next six months trying to prove him wrong. He won that argument.
The Engagement: Occurred March of 2009 in Independence Park, Philadelphia. It's where I lost my full independence ;) but gained a partner.
The Wedding: May 29, 2010 in the backyard of his grandmother's house. Beautiful location. Reception at an old historic hotel in Shepherdstown WV.
Week before Wedding: Hell On Earth. It deserves its own capital letters and everything. I do not ever, EVER, want to live through a week like that again. And we are fairly simple people, none of this hooplah over minutiae, no drama. Bridezilla, I am not. I cannot imagine planning a wedding where details are king and everything must be perfect. I have complete and upmost empathy for any brides-to-be and will now bend over backwards to be of service to them. Luckily, I have an amazing group of girlfriends that pulled through. And Adam, for being like most men who does not care about colors, seating, and lighting, was pretty decently helpful. Good work love! (He reads this blog, must say nice things. And in this case, they are true!).
Best part of the day: The Vows. Nobody bothering us, just me and him.
Enjoy a few pics of the day!
Ok, as an invited guest at the "Event of the Year," I must say that from all outward appearances, it looked like everything went off without a hitch!! If you were nervous, it only showed slightly when your Dad was walking you down the aisle. For a brief moment, you looked like you were going to cry, but you should - you're the bride and it's allowed! Truly, it was amazing from start fo finish and you do make a beautiful couple!

ReplyDelete"Outdoor weddings do not mesh well with water" ha-ha! I'm sure they don't! I'm glad your day turned out to be a non-watery one. Congratulations on your marriage and your new life!
