I have a confession to make.
I cannot remember the order of my events at my wedding. Sure, I could probably go look at my emails to Liz and see what order we put everything in, but really it's just one big blur of happy things, with some awkward moments mixed in.
My dad kicked off our speeches. It was short and sweet and welcomed everyone, pretty much.
They made me drink Champagne.
Iman's dad's speech was so touching. We all cried. When he got choked up, I just lost it. I just love that man.
I love this picture of my mom and I! She helped me put on my converse.
Here's a funny story about when we went to cut the cake. Our DJ announced it and I got up from the table to go over and midway there I froze.
See, my garter had not been cooperating all day. It fit, but once I started moving and my leg got sweaty (which I never realized happened), it would just keep falling.
We tried a ton of different things, and finally used carpet tape to tape it to my thigh. This worked for the longest time. At least a couple of hours. Until we went to cut the cake and it started falling.
So I froze. Liz quickly came over and discreetly fixed the problem for me.
I knew then and there that she's the best wedding coordinator a girl could have.
We really wanted to do cupcakes, but still have something to cut. So my mom's friend made us a little cake, too. It's currently in our freezer.
We played nice with the cake eating...although, I'm a midget next to Iman so I am sure it looked funny.
I can't get enough of this picture. It's got our shoes and us kissing and ahhh.
This is the best stolen moment picture from our wedding.
I know I've just been sharing wedding pictures, but I am really excited to begin posting my DIY projects and tips! They're coming soon!!!

ReplyDeleteI really like that art (red heart) behind you guys! I'm so glad your wedding coordinator saved the day! They really know what they're doing. Whew!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute cute! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat stolen moment picture. I. Die. I could literally hang that up in my house

ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteahh, I am thinking of doing that!!
ReplyDeleteWe did the same thing! We had a cake top and all cupcakes. I didn't know people wore garters all day. I think I just put it on right before he was supposed to take it off.
ReplyDeleteAww this is adorable. I hear most brides don't remember the exact timeline, but you are forgiven as it is only the most important day of your life <3
ReplyDeleteNo one in my group really knew if we wore it all day or not, so I made sure to wear it all day. lol.
ReplyDeleteCupcakes are just so much better tahn a big cake!
hahaha, it is crazy how much goes into it!
ReplyDeleteYour wedding really looks like a dream. It's storybook alright, but there's so much personality and spunk. I was so emotional reading this, but also grinning like a cheshire cat! I wish you so much success, you beauty!
ReplyDeleteso cute!!! how TALL is Iman?? my hubby is 6'1" and i am stretching it to say that i'm 5'7"... but i love that my head tucks under his chin! =)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful wedding. I love that you did cupcakes. I don't remember my timeline either but it's been ten years. I remember the important or meaningful moments and I'm sure you will too.

ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing day! I love the string art, cupcakes and your shoes. It is so important to make the day special and about you.
ReplyDeleteAwww...looks like such a great day. I like feeling like I was there by looking at your pics. I love that you guys wore sneakers, too. Smart and fun!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALL OF YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS! I just can't say that enough. Y'all are so cute together and had the most precious wedding. I'll definitely be coming to you for advice when I finally get to plan the big day. That's awesome that you're wedding coordinator was so helpful. I was hesitant about hiring someone, but maybe it's worth it?

beautiful!! I love that the color scheme of red and white was in every little detail (even you sneakers!). So cute!! It looks like it was a happy and beautiful day. Congrats!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the huge heart behind you guys. You had so many nice touches to your wedding. Makes me want to do mine over!
ReplyDeleteTotally how I remember mine lol! A big blur of happiness :)
ReplyDeleteI, for one, really love seeing all of your wedding pictures! You look so happy and I love the idea of wearing converse. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the order of mine either. You look stunning!
ReplyDeleteAwww these are so sweet! Love your dress!
ReplyDeleteI don't think hours after the wedding I could remember the order of events either. It was a hectic day, but AWESOME! And, it appears that you had an amazing time. What is most important to remember is that you were happy...details, details, not needed. The feeling of bliss is all that matters. Congratulations!

These are beautiful! I love the cupcake idea instead of a cake! I got married prior to Pinterest and feel like my wedding would've been so different if I had Pinterest to refer to!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! :) You are so sweet
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! The red was my absolute favorite part of the color scheme!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! We had a lot of fun making the heart together :) Just have a big party celebrating your love!!
ReplyDeleteahh I tried to remember everything at first, but I've just accepted that I can only remember the joy I felt.
ReplyDeletethank you so much!! The converse were so cool - some of our groomsmen got personalized ones, too
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you so much Jemma!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! My mom made my dress :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!! That is exactly what I was thinking - just remembering the feelings we had during the wedding is what matters
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Pinterest definitely is a big help in planning your wedding. Especially when you don't like as much "main stream" magazine-like stuff

ReplyDeleteI love the heart behind you, is that string art? I don't remember the order of events from my wedding either. :)
