Our Wedding

We got married this past weekend! Woo-hoo! The wedding was awesome. It was magical!

I was so busy in the days leading up to the wedding. Running here, there, and everywhere. By the time Friday rolled around I was pretty much done with everything, just waiting for the day.

On the day of the wedding the time went by fast. I never imagined it was going to take me as long as it did to get ready. Traffic was horrible getting to the Gaylord. I was about 20 minutes late as I was supposed to arrive at 3:00. By the time the wedding time rolled around I still wasn't ready. The plan was for me to make my grand entrance at 6:10 but I didn't appear until 6:30 maybe 6:35. I know my mom was quite irritated I was running so late. But oh well! It was actually a good thing I was late because traffic was so bad, it gave more people a chance to get there.

We attracted quite the crowd as lots of people passing by that particular section of the resort had gathered to look in on our wedding. I must say I was completely calm the entire time. No nerves at all! I said my vows with a confident smile on my face. That has been the theme with my relationship with Brad...calmness! I was totally calm on our first date too! Being with him from the very beginning has felt as natural as blinking my eyes! It was kind of funny though that Brad and I both said we had people around us that weren't so calm yet we were calm. My mom wasn't calm. And certainly had lots of angst in her voice leading up to wedding time. And for Brad it was his brother that was more on edge than him.

The food was excellent! Exactly as good as I hoped it would be. Our cake turned out well! We had a 3 layer cake. One layer chocolate with bavarian cream filling. One layer red velvet with cream cheese filling and the top layer was my special request layer, I requested white cake with champagne infused in the cake and the filling....Awesome!!

People truly seemed to enjoy our wedding. Lots of dancing. Many people that I didn't anticipate cutting loose on the dance floor did.

It was a great wedding! We were both very happy with how our wedding turned out. The Gaylord certainly made us feel like celebrities too. We checked in through the celeb entrance. We had security at the wedding. And we stayed in the most awesome honeymoon suite a person can imagine! The type of suite that commonly accomodates A-listers like Madonna and J-Lo.
