After the ceremony we snuck away to sign the marriage certificate to make it official! Then to have our photographer take some photos of us together soaking up the moment :)
My Maid of Honor (Rebekka) and my sister and law/bridesmaid (Stephanie) drove Kevin and I in a golf cart decorated in balloons of or wedding colors for our grand entrance. Haha, it was so funny!
I love them!
Right after we got off the cart, we were told to start the buffet line so that everyone else could get grubbin'. Ya'll know that Kevin and I love to eat, so we were happy to do so! My parents hired a local catering business to do the food. The theme was "Italian Honeymoon". It was delicious!
Here we are attempting to eat...
There was so much going on that I only got a couple bites. But that's okay, because I had a wicked time! Once most of our guests had gotten through the buffet line, it was time to do all the traditional stuff.
Our first dance.
We danced to "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Not your typical slow and romantic first dance, but we tend to march the beat of our own drum and it's always been "our song" :)
Next was the cake cutting, although there wasn't much "cutting" involved. Instead of having a wedding cake, we had a cupcake tower :) Kathy and her friend were kind enough to make all 250 of them and they looked and tasted wonderful (Thanks Kathy!).
Our toppers were so cute & hand painted! :)
We ordered them off of www.etsy.com (Best site in the world)
Here is a pic of the cake smashing :) I got Kev really good.. hehe
Then it was time to dance the night away!
Groom lift!
Bride lift! They carried me for the entire song, haha. So much fun!
(P.S. It kind of looks like I am flipping everyone the bird, but I promise I am not) :)
Although I wanted to stay, Kevin convinced me to leave around 1:30AM ;) I can't describe the feeling I had when we were being driven down my parents driveway. Excited to open a new chapter and share my life with Kevin, but a little sad to close the other leave my childhood behind. I cheered up about the time that we rolled up to the hotel and Kevin carried me over the threshold like a champ :)
It was the most incredible night and I will never forget it. Thank you to everyone who came and made it so special for Kevin and I. We could not be happier!
Blessings,
Mrs. Hart
