MARRIED

Since I was a little girl (well really all of my life), I've dreamed of my wedding day: the colors, the flowers, the dress, the veil, the groom, all of it...

On December 12th, 2009, all those dreams were surpassed by the reality of my wedding. All the planning, all the stressing, all the worrying completely fell to the wayside when I woke up that morning. I was calm, relaxed, excited, ready. It was so perfect. Perfect seems like such a cliche word, but it really was. There were flaws of course, but somehow those things barely register in my mind. The whole day, sharing it with Brad, was a gift from God, and I'm so grateful for that blessing.

The ceremony was very old world traditional, my dress was gorgeous, the bridal party was a blast to celebrate with, the reception was so fun, the photography... AMAZING, the flowers were so elegant, and my cakes were very nearly the highlight of my day (besides being Mrs. Brad Williams!)

There aren't enough words to describe my love for the day and its something I'll always cherish.

8 Freaking Days!

Soo I've made quite a bit of headway on all the planning.

The programs have been ordered. I bought brad's wedding band. I made the additions to the floral order. We have our marriage license. Well we've had that for a few weeks but I think i forgot to mention it. I made nail appts even though I forgot to make one for my mom but she decided to later on. So i still need to do that. I need to help tammy finish everything for the centerpieces.

On wednesday we're going to do all the decorating and I can't believe how fast this is coming up. I pick up my dress on monday I think, but caleb is supposed to be coming some time this week to check out places for pics so I need to find out when for sure he's doing that so I can see if I change my dress pick up date to like tuesday or something since I have a meeting on monday at work. Not a big deal though. I also have to remember to find a cake stand for my cake.

I'm ready. :) I'm trying to just sit back, take it all in, and enjoy it. It's been such an amazing time, although at times stressful and I'm trying not to lose sight of what a special, treasured time this is.
