Picture time!
With my girls, ready to go meet Chuck
My amazing bridesmaids--poor Helen (my jr. bridesmaid) was somehow cut out of this photo but I don't have any others of all of us, I'm sure some will surface later! (l to r: Jenn, Jean, Megan, me, Jenn, Missy, Sophie, Miranda, Diana--our flower girl)
Something tells me Chuck doesn't mind this particular photo!
This is my "please don't drop me!" look
With Chuck's parents
Chuck and his dad
With my mom and dad--Dad was waving and blowing kisses to the "papparazzi" that had gathered
Grandma trying to keep me warm--my dress was long enough it served as a cape too!
The Ceremony
We poured sand taken from Seattle and from Jacksonville Beach into a vase as our symbol of unity instead of doing a candle--it turned out beautifully!
Mr. & Mrs. Kennedy!
Party Time!Our first dance--we'd taken lessons, so we were able to (somewhat) successfully fox-trot around the floor :)
Father-Daughter Dance
Megs came & joined us for the last half of the song--so dad got to dance with both daughters :)
Mother-Son dance
Cutting a cheesecake is kind of messy!
My bridesmaids had literally practiced singing "Goin to the Chapel" the day before and sang it to me all day--they came into my room singing that morning to wake me up, and sang throughout the day--here's one last performance, at the reception...
My amazing parents who did SO much work to make our week so special!
The foursome--the 4 of us cousins grew up super close to one another, celebrating all major events and holidays together throughout our childhood--me, Brian, Christopher & Megan
This is Ryan and Alethia, they did SO much work for us this week--so did all our wedding party! Ryan and Alethia gave us the gift of checking us into our hotel & decorating our room SO beautifully, it was amazing to walk into such a relaxing and romantic space after a very long day!
I LOVED our centerpieces--we named each table after a different Psalm (we had read through all 150 Psalms as a countdown to our wedding together), and at each table were excerpts from a different Psalm. As part of the dinner prayer we had one person at each table read their Psalm to their table--it was awesome looking around seeing everyone leaned in, listening to God's word as we prepared for dinner.
Leaving in our 'tunel of love' made up of our friends and family! (hey in MN it's too cold to make everyone go outside and throw stuff!)
Leaving to shouts of encouragement from our friends for our wedding night :)
One of my favorite shots--taken in our hotel room away from all the other cameras
