Our wedding day was something so spectacular. It was more than I could have ever imagined it to be. It was magical and there were so many moments that we shared with our families that are completely irreplaceable. But there were quite a few moments that no one else experienced that we would like to share with you :) And it gives you all a chance to see quite a few of our favorite wedding pictures. Its a two for one kind of day.
1. Our first dance: This was the most precious moment that we have ever shared. I think that was the first time all night that we actually stopped and got the chance to just take in the moment of what was actually happening. We talked and laughed and just enjoyed being married.
2. Our choreographed first dance: This was pretty awesome. Our original idea was to do something choreographed with the entire bridal party. But the fact that our bridal party was scattered all over the country made that nearly impossible. So Nic and I went to work, threw it together in an evening, and honestly didn't practice it again until we did it at the reception, but I think it turned out all right :) We had a blast, and it was a great way to show our personalities. Nic was such a good sport and he didn't dance too bad either.
3. Family prayer: This was such a precious moment. There was such love and joy and just immense emotion. The words that they spoke over us were just beautiful and meant the world to us. Its moments and love that we will never forget. We love you guys.
4. Our Jr. Groomsman Peed his Pants... in the middle of the ceremony: We had a very eventful first 10 minutes of our ceremony. The high point? Seth, the cute little guy in the picture below, proceeded to the middle of the aisle yelling to his mother that he had to pee. She sent him back up to his spot, and he did a dance for a while, then stopped and smiled. Thank God his pants were black lol.
5. Pre ceremony prayer: Before the ceremony started, we had a time of prayer with our individual bridal parties. For me, it was such a sweet time, because Pastor Joie prayed over me during such a big time in my life, just as she did when I graduated from high school and so many other major times in my life. It meant the world to have her there and for her to be a part of this moment as well.
For Nic, this was a time where his friends really just poured into his life and helped him to find the peace that he needed. It was truly a time of just seeking God and allowing him to be the part of this day that we both so desired him to be.
6. Toasts: Oh man. Our toasts were pretty spectacular. The stories that were told, the memories that were talked about, the words that meant the world to us. They were more than we could have ever asked for. Having Beth and Lyds by my side that day meant the world to me, and hearing their hearts meant just as much. Their words and their emotions will forever be in my mind. Andrew your words were so sincere and so genuine. You are such a true and genuine friend and you guys mean the world to us. And Jonathan. You are my best friend. And your words impact me each and every time you speak. Thank you for always following the call of God on your life and showing me what it means to live a life worthy of admiration. You're incredible, big brother.
7. Dancing with Patrick: This was one of my personal favorite moments. During our money dance, my new brother in law, Patrick, payed his dollar and came up to me and asked for a dance. His words were so sweet and so genuine, and he truly welcomed me to his family. That moment will stay with me for the rest of my life.
8. Our Flower Girl's One-Liner: So we had the cutest flower girl in the entire world. And she looked like a little princess on our wedding day. Leah has been one of my mom's daycare kids since she was about 6 months old. We have watched her grow up, and she is so much fun. Leah is terribly shy though. She doesn't talk much. The wedding day was no different. From the moment we picked her up, she didn't utter more than a head nod to me. Until one very special moment at the church. We were all running around, excited and nervous, getting ready and I was in the hall way steaming out my dress with my new sister in law, Desiree. My maid of honor came walking out with my flower girl in hand and informed me that Leah had to pee and I was the only one that was allowed to take her. I laughed to myself grabbed leah by the hand and took her into the bathroom and she just stood there and stared at me. I responded with, "You okay?" And she looked at me and said, "My mom puts paper on the seat." And continued to stare at me. I laughed so hard I almost cried and put paper on the seat for her, and walked out to let her do her thing. And that was the only sentence that my Flower Girl said to me all weekend. It was priceless. Enjoy these pictures of her cuteness. :)
9. Vincent's random pop ups: Oh Vincent. The cutest Ring Bearer known to man. He was so stinking cute with his Nic matching hair cut and snazzy tuxedo. The morning of the wedding, Vinny kept showing up on the side of the building where the girls were getting ready. And mysteriously, he always ended up next me. Holding my hand. Looking at me. He seemed to be my shadow. I said to him at one point, "Vinny where did you come from?" He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "No one was watching me!" Oh man that kid. If he wasnt so cute, we would have had issues. But seriously, who could be mad at this face :)
10. Nic always ending up with my bouquet: The entire evening, Nic always seemed to end up with my bouquet in his hand. Walking from the church to the car. Making our entrance at the reception. During pictures. Somehow, that thing ended up in his hand. What can I say, it was heavy. :)
And that was our Top 10 Wedding Moments. I hope that you have enjoyed this snapshot of our big day. Now I am off to the grocery store to buy the rest of the stuff that we need for our dinner date with the Arends!! Hope you've enjoyed the current Morris Moment!
