You may now kiss the bride!

On August 23, 2008, Joseph and I were married! I can't believe that after 9 months of planning, the day I have dreamed of since I was a little girl, has already come and gone. Time flies when you are having fun, and Joseph and I definitely had a wonderful time. We had a blast throughout our entire engagement; however, nothing compares to the fun, excitement, and love that we shared on our wedding day! I can honestly say that it was the happiest day of my life and there is nothing I would change about that day--it was perfect!!!

Here are a few pictures from our wedding day. Enjoy!

(I will post more when I get them...)


This is one of my wedding portraits, which was taken at my grandparent's house. Steve Roos is an amazing photographer!!!

This is right after the ceremony. We took all of our pictures before the wedding (yes, I saw Joseph before we said 'I do') and I highly recommend this. We both enjoyed the ceremony so much more, our nerves were under control, and plus, we didn't have to take pictures for an hour after the wedding--we got to go straight to the reception. We went to our friend's house on the golf course, and we all drove up in golf carts (Joseph and I arrived in a Carolina golf cart). It was fabulous!!!

We rode around and the photographer took some pictures of everyone before we made our way to the Club House for the reception. It was so much fun!!!

Our wedding cake!!! I decided to use some old family brooches on my cake and I think it turned out beautifully!

Trying to get the garter...

We had the best band ever...The Swinging Medallions! I had a ball singing and dancing with the band! I seriously thought I was a rock star that night, but what bride should think differently?!?

Our wedding day was exactly what I always dreamed it would be!!!
