About 2 weeks ago, Lee and I got married. We had a wonderful ceremony in Chambersburg, Pa with our family and friends. We had many friends and family participate in the wedding. Lee's dad was his Best Man. My Maid of Honor was my closest friend from my time in Memphis, Brittany. The readers were close friends of mine from college. One was Megan, whom I affectionately refer to as my Jesus Buddy and the other was my suitemate from my senior year of college, BJ. We had two little boys at the Guest Book. Both were named David. One David is our "nephew" and the other David is our Godson.
My Maid of Honor, Brittany, and my suitie from college, BJ, helped me get dressed.One more kiss for Dad and I was down the aisle to marry Lee.Dad walked me down the aisle like he had done this before. I'm so proud of him. He didn't cry at all before walking me down the aisle and that's a good thing because he kept me from crying.
I meet Lee at the altar and also met the woman who married us, Pastor Tara, there. Tara is a very special person to Lee and me. This wedding wouldn't have happened without her. See, Tara is married to a man named Jeremy. Jeremy and Lee were roommates is college. Tara is that pastor at the church I went to during college. It's because of the friendship that I made with Tara and Jeremy continuing his friendship with Lee that Lee and I met. There isn't any other way that we would have met.
Looking back on our wedding day, the thing that Lee and I remember the most is feeling like the only people in the room were Tara, Lee, and me. It was so intimate and personable. It was wonderful to have someone who knows both of us so well unite us in marriage.
This is the first picture of us as husband and wife. It's also our first kiss as husband and wife. I love this picture! From here, Lee and I presented our parents with roses in hopes of showing them how much we love them and care about them.
From here, we took a lot of pictures. I'm going to show them in order here and try to put captions on them.
Our wedding rings
Our families seeing us kiss. My father-in-law didn't want to look.
Brittany and I having a good time taking a bunch of pictures for the wedding.
This is a very special picture to me. I have 3 important Davids in my life. The David in the suit is my older brother, David. The little boy doing his best Jay Leno impression is my "nephew" David. The other little boy is my Godson, David. I'm almost positive that I will never get all 3 of them together again so I just had to have a picture with all of my Davids.
Cutting the cake.
This is 4 generations of my mom's side of the family. It's really cool that I had 4 generations of my family at my wedding.
The picture above and the picture to the right were taken outside Riddle Hall. This is where it all started for Lee and me. We have some wonderful memories in that building!
We went to my college after the reception to take pictures. I loved taking this picture. I've never seen another bride in a tree for her wedding pictures.
The color for the wedding was purple. I got my shoes dyed to match Brittany's dress and Lee wore these awesome socks. Who would have known that I would marry a man that loves purple just like me?
We had a wonderful wedding day! Lee and I are settling into married life now.
Soon, we'll be heading out on our honeymoon.
So far, there hasn't been a day that's gone by without me getting all excited to the point of jumping up and down giggling about actually marrying my best friend in the world. I'm so happy to be married to Lee. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him and watch the turns that our lives will take together.
