Wedding: Ceremony

Oh, hey there!  I know I've been MIA for a bit... trying to play catchup at work, school, and life in general post-wedding.  But then last night I got a wonderful little *ding* from my e-mail account via Steve Cross Photography, and I just couldn't wait to share the official pics of our big day with you!

My beautiful bouquet was made by my sister!!!

Our wedding was a small affair in the town in Franklin, Tennessee where we live.  We chose to have our ceremony at a local public park, the Park at Harlinsdale Farm.  I was very worried about the heat of the day, but it turned out to be a perfect, sunny afternoon for the ceremony.

Dress: Eliza J via Nordstrom
Earrings: Charming Charlie
Bracelet: Tiffany & Co. from my sister (similar)
Hair & Makeup: Artistry Salon & Spa's Lindsey King
Flowers: my sister!
Shoes: Franco Sarto via DSW

We were joined by our closest family and friends for the ceremony, and we had a local officiant, Sherrie Binkley, perform the ceremony.

Sherrie also read short excerpts from a favorite book for each of us...  Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl for Dan, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte for me.

When I make that squishy smile face, it's legit, y'all.

We were pretty chill...  there's even a dog park in the background!

Me & Sissy

Sissy arrived early and put together all of the wedding flowers (including that gorgeous), as well as gift bags for the guests.  I couldn't have done it without her, nor would it have looked so nice and put-together!  I had freakout moment earlier in the day that was quickly squashed after eating some chicken nuggets (hangry brides are irritable) but other than that it all came together perfect as could be.
