For months now we've been planning and talking about all the things that we did and did not want to do for our wedding. We definitely wanted to keep the wedding itself simple and intimate, but then to have a huge reception afterwards. Well, even with making the ceremony simple things just kept not coming together the way we wanted them to. I was stressed beyond belief about everything and there is no reason that a wedding should be so stressful. It's about the love that we have for each other, not about the pretty things that we have to get married with. (parties are awesome, and that's coming up...so stay tuned)
So we made the decision to go to the court and get married. We took our fantastic friends as witnesses and since we're not rolling in money, we went to Wal-Mart the morning of to pick out some rings and clothes to wear. Yep. We had an AMAZING Wal-Mart wedding...on Friday the 13th. It was perfect. We drove down to the courthouse and the officiant let us say our vows to one another. It was absolutely perfect in every way. I even managed not to cry, though I came close. We then went to a local park and took a few pictures and then went to breakfast. Next weekend we are going on our honeymoon.
Saturday we got together with some friends and got all kinds of gross and bloody and went to the Zombie Prom. It was also an AMAZING time! :)
I feel so lucky to have the most amazing man in the world for a husband. I love him so much. I am so glad that we are now married and can spend the rest of our lives together. The reception is in the planning stages, so stay tuned for more information. :)
Future plans:
New house
Christmas break with the kids.
Once again, life is beautiful.
