My Wedding Party & Flowers

This week at Kelly's Korner, we're showing our wedding party and flowers. I loved joining in last week with my wedding dress, so I decided to participate again this week!

Here's a little background info I should share before I get to the pictures. My hubby and I were best friends for 9 years throughout highschool and college. We went to the same church, were both homeschooled, and went to the same university. I knew all along that he was the guy I was going to eventually marry! He on the other hand was verrry slow about making up his mind. LOL!

Jacob was best friend's with my sister's fiance', so guess who ended up being best man in their wedding?! Mmhm, you guessed it! Jacob was best man and I was maid of honor. Well, finally Jacob made up his mind and we started dating in February of last year. We dated for 2 weeks, then got engaged, and got married less than 4 months later! Pretty crazy, I know.

Ok, now on to the wedding stuff.

I carried a bouquet of hot pink roses. Simple but beautiful!

All of my immediate family. Such a good-lookin' bunch!

Jacob and me with his family

My wonderful Daddy! I'm definitely Daddy's Girl.

I just love my mom so much!

Me and my awesome sister (she was pregnant with my nephew, but looked great!)

Me and my 3 wonderful brothers.

This picture cracks me up every time I look at it! Junior bridesmaid: Elizabeth (Jacob's sister), Bridesmaid: Katie (Jacob's sister), Me, Matron of Honor: Myra (my sis), Maid of Honor: Cassie (my best friend in college)

Insane wedding party! Everyone was one of our family members except Cassie.

Jacob and me with the flowergirls (my cousins) and the ringbearer (Jacob's cousin)

These are our grandparents: My Memaw and Jacob's Nanny & Papa. Papa has been a pastor for 50 years and he took part along with my Dad in our ceremony.

Funny story: All of the girls got ready at the church across the street because there wasn't enough room at our church. Well, of course it started raining like 15 minutes before the wedding. So this picture is of us trying to dash into the church without getting rain drops on our dresses. We went from the van to under the tent then my cousin held an umbrella between the tent and the church for us to go under. The white blob at the door is me. Pretty funny picture!

Sweet children walking down the aisle. They did so well!

Jacob is a professional violinist and he surprised me during the ceremony by playing the song "Adoration" for me.
