It was the best wedding I have ever been to. Mainly because of the man involved (I mean, just check out that photo below), but also because of my amazing parents and our incredible friends and family who gave up an entire weekend to celebrate with us. We seriously had so much fun with everyone and feel so humble that people were willing to do that for us! It was like a dream come true for me…everyone I love in one place at the same time! AHH! So great!
The ceremony was incredible—the best I have ever heard. My brother, Drew, married us, which was super special. He did such an amazing job portraying the holiness of marriage and our responsibility to each other in this relationship. I have a copy of it if anyone wants to read it. Seriously. It really was amazing. It was so special to me to have Drew marry us. He is such an awesome brother that I just look up to so much, so to have him in that role of marrying us, challenging us in this step, was incredible.
The reception was a blast too! I just love to dance, and dance is what we did.
We even line danced!! Praise God!
We left on a motorcycle and side-car…well, sort of!
Allan revved the engine to take off, everyone was cheering and then…..chhhhuuuuu….the engine died!
That’s okay, we tried again! Allan revved the engine, everyone cheered and……chhhuuuuu…the engine died again!
Third time is a charm though!
Allan revved the engine, everyone cheered and then…..chhhhhhuuuu….but then we started moving!
how?
Three of Allan’s groomsmen started pushing us! How incredible is that? They pushed us up the hill and then one of them said “drop it into gear” so Allan did and off we went! YAY! It was so much fun!
It was such a fun day! We are so thankful to everyone who helped to make it so special by being there and supporting us! We were humbled by the outpour of love, gifts, time, words, encouraging words, and excitement for us. So THANK YOU! We’re married! for life! Crazy! and so exciting! YAY!
