We did it!!!

Well, the wedding is finally over, so we can relax now!!!  It was beautiful!  Everything worked out, and to my surprise even though i don't like to admit it, if anything wasn't how i wanted it exactly, i didn't even notice!  :)  The only bad thing that happened was i finally got to release some pent up nerves and anxiety, which in turn made me sick to my stomach. So unfortunately, i spent well over the first hour of the reception feeling nauseous and hot.  But once it wore off after i got a breather for a bit, i was happy.  So i'm sorry to those of you who missed getting to chat with me for a while!  I hate having anxiety attacks.  Grrrrrr

I was SO nervous during the ceremony because i get really shy being in front of a lot of people, let alone up on a stage.  :)  And i didn't bawl like a baby like i thought!!!  I had to fight it back, but i thought for sure i would have to redo my make up afterwards.  :)  I watched the bridesmaids and groomsman start walking and i was still thinking it was so surreal... then Emree started walking with her flower basket and my heart was pounding!  So we started walking and i was just beside myself that this was really happening!  We planned it for so long, it still just didn't feel "real" in the moment.  So i start walking down the aisle, and i look at brock and saw his face just happy as could be and his eyes were red and teary, and felt myself getting choked up.  So i had to look at people as i was coming down the aisle so that i wouldn't start bawling.

He was so cute up on the stage while we were saying our vows. He was swinging his arm back and forth out of nervousness and didn't realize he was doing it, so i was trying to hold it still... everyone got a good giggle at us; seeing us be so fidgety.  I loved the words in our vows, and that was by far the hardest part for me to keep it together. And when we did our first kiss i got even more nervous because it was dead silent! :)  i was expecting some clapping and cheering, but everyone was waiting until the end i guess.  so we got done and walked out into the foyer to greet everyone...and needless to say, took a DEEP BREATH! :)

Our day was beautiful and so special to us.  We are so truly thankful to all of our family and friends who helped us along the way!  It means so much to us to have so many people surrounding us who are so giving and supportive.  We don't know what we'd do without you guys!  And you all gave us so many memories to cherish. Not only that day, but throughout that week with our party, and rehearsal and sunday brunch.  You guys are amazing, and we are truly blessed to have all of you in our lives. Someday we will repay all of you in some way for your giving and unconditional love for us.  We were truly touched at how many people we love came to support us and give us words of encouragement.  It meant the world to both of us.  :) 

We love you guys!
