Take Three: At the Church

Here are a few from before the ceremony. We had some of the greatest people there to stand with us at our wedding! From preschool to life after college, all of these friends are true blessings to us... :) (Sounds really cheesy, I know, but it's true! :)

Eric with the girls :)

The boys and me :)

Absolutely love this picture of the ring bearer in front! Dean was TOTALLY ready for this picture! :)


The bridesmaids and me :)


The Wieniewitz family with us :)


Eric's mom and stepdad with us :)


Eric's dad and stepmom with us :)

Ok, so you know... at this point in the day, I was beginning to get a wee bit stressed! It was the only point in the day when I was overwhelmed with all that was going on around me. Luckily, it only lasted about 10 minutes, then--after a lot of prayer and a few brownies--I was good to go! :)

Take Two: On the Golf Course

These were taken on the golf course at Gulf Hills where we stayed. It was a beautiful day for pictures... you can't see exactly how hot it was outisde. :) We were quite toasty, but it was worth it! :)


This is when we saw each other for the first time. :)


This one is fun! We were having fun laughing at how hot it was... I still couldn't believe it was my wedding day!


This is not an easy task when you're in a form-fitting dress that is glued to you because of the sweat. :) I was really worried I was going to tip over and fall!


We had to sneak onto the green in between groups of people playing. Some people were happy for us... others wanted us to get off of the course. Meanies.


The classic "inside the veil" pose... :)


... a little help from my man :)


...and finally, my favorite picture! This is the one we are ordering as our portrait! :)

Wedding Pictures: Take One

Ok, folks, here we go... here are some amazing pictures from the happiest day of my life, July 5, 2008. :) Sean Smith was our photographer, and we absolutely loved working with him. You can check out his site: www.seansmithphotography.net. He does some awesome work! My Mama even had him take some portraits of my niece on the beach to give to Trae and Amber for Christmas... they are beautiful!

Anyway, here are some of the pictures taken before the wedding. We stayed at Gulf Hills Hotel in Ocean Springs.


My Mama and me. Isn't she beautiful?


My sweet Daddy and me... he didn't cry until after the ceremony. He did well!


When taking this one, I was thinking, "Holy cow! I get to wear this thing for the rest of my life!" :) What an amazing feeling...


Posing in the bridal suite... my friends were making fun comments in the background this whole time. I was really trying not to laugh!

Ok, take two will be coming soon... just as soon as my computer cooperates. :)

Just a few...

My wedding day was so much fun! ... it was a total blur... but so much fun! I did not touch a camera all day, so I do not have any pictures of my own yet! Our photographer should have proofs to us soon, so until then, here are a few that some friends and family of ours took... just to give you a glimpse into my dream day! :)

Here is the "welcome bucket" that was waiting in each guest room! Can you tell my Mama and I are teachers?!

The Bride-to-be at the salon on wedding morning :) This is my Mama's veil from July 12, 1975, 33 years ago! I also wore a long one of my own during the ceremony. :)

Finally... in the dress :) I love it still!


Our first dance was to "More Today Than Yesterday." It was fun! My hubby is singing to me in this pic. It's one of my favorites... :)


We did a lot of dancing... and apparently I make silly faces when I dance. :)


Our pretty cake :) Each layer was a different flavor... I didn't get to eat it, but the samples I tried in May were delish!


Eric isn't much of a cake person, so he had his fave, banana pudding at the groom's table! We ate two scoops because it was so good!


Eric's favorite picture... haha :)

More pictures to come... I promise! We had beautiful family and bridesmaids and groomsmen there to celebrate with us... I will post pictures of them soon! :)
