The Big Day


Our wedding day came and our wedding day went. Ten months of planning came down to one blurred wonderful day. Here are some of the photos that Billy's aunt took. We are still waiting on pictures from our photography, Dave, my future brother-in-law!! =) It was a really great day!! Thank you so very much to those who worked so hard to make this event such a success. There was really no hiccups that day.

Billy did mention a month later, so not to stress me out, that he thought he forgot our first dance song. He was "running around" trying to get a hold of it the day of. But when he talked to the sound guy finally, he told Billy that he had already put it on the MP3 player. Billy was so relieved. He thought he should wait a while to tell me so that I didn't worry.

Another funny thing that happened was the door that dad and I were to walk out of was locked right before the ceremony so people could not come through the door any more, but when it came time to open it we couldn't get one of the doors unlocked. Oh well. Dad and I squeezed through one door and it was fine. =) No worries!

Here some shots that were caught on our wedding day:









































Catch Up Time

Here are some of our engagement pictures. I know they are late but I thought I would post some. Our engagement pictures were taken by a friend of Tricia Eshleman's. I saw Tricia and Dave's engagement pictures and thought they were great. I asked Trisha who did she get to take theirs and she gave me the name Ashley Owen. She told me that she was a girl in her bible study and that she wasn't going to school for photography but she was really blessed with talent. Check some of them out:

Best Weekend Ever...(So far)








So I am a little behind about getting these pictures up, but I have finally done it Tiffany.

Three weekends ago, Melody, Tiffany, Linda, Amanda Ellis, and I went to the Outer Banks for our a bachelorette weekend. It was amaaaazzzinnnggg!!!! There are so many stories to tell but some have to stay in the Outer Banks. The first night we camped outside on featherbeds. The next night we stayed in a hotel.

An exciting and fun thing that was started at the very first restaurant we stopped at was the Dare Game. At each restaurant I handed out dares to all the girls. At the first restaurant, someone had to leave a Scat Mail, someone had to leave their phone number for the server and someone else had to text random people and ask what they were doing. The next morning at breakfast someone had to take a picture with the waitress, someone had to do the "bend and snap" in front of some guys, someone had to give "the nod" to another guy, and someone had to go up to a wine barrell and pretend to be drinking out of in front of people. Since breakfast was a big one we skipped lunch. But at dinner, someone had to leave the phone number to the waiter and say that someone else really liked them. Someone also had to take a picture with that same waiter. The other two got out of the dare because we really embarrassed them at the last restaurant. Although this seems silly, we laughed a lot from it.

Another exciting and hilarious part of the trip was when we went to the outdoor drama, "The Lost Colony." The girls finally got back at me and embarrassed me. At the restaurant we made a rule that I did not have to do any of the dares but they got me back. Lets just say there was a guy standing over me twirling knives. Then he wanted me to throw a ball at him. And this all happened before the show even began. The girls made sure he announced I was getting married. But once he found out I was getting married, he quickly asked the others who was single. He even asked Tiffany to be the mother of his 86 orphan children. You will have to ask Tiffany if she agreed to or not. The play was ok but the pregame outside the theater was probably the best.

The last day we decided we would play a really funny joke on Kate, our friend who was getting married the next weekend. Amanda, Melody, and I were all in the wedding and we would be wearing strapless dresses. We decided to get temporary tattoos and pretend they were real. We definitely scared Kate really bad. Until Melody told her they were fake. :)

Over all the weekend was a blast. Thanks girls for all you did!!!!
