Our first dance

The day is finally over! I feel like 1,000 pounds have been lifted off my shoulders. I feel so happy, accomplished and satisfied at how our wedding went. I'm sooo happy we decided to go with the Profile Event Center because Heather, the event coordinator, and her team did a great job! Everything turned out soo much better than I anticipated. I also really liked the food. My DJ friend did such a great job! Nearly all my friends and family members came. I only had 6 people NO SHOW on me, which I am still sad and angry at them for not coming. How rude!?! Don't they know I have put my sweat, $ and headaches over this wedding. :(

All in all, many THANKS for those who came to support, give us blessings and to eat/dance/drink the night away! I still can't believe we were all up nearly 1:00 am!

Onto the greats and the ups; the ceremony was so beautiful. I cried. He nearly cried. Our guests cried and even the pastor. The wedding dress fit so perfectly and it was just as stunning as I remembered the day I tried it on. I felt so beautiful and special. It was the most amazing feeling ever! I knew I wanted to be a bride who ate, drink and laughed/smiled all night AND I DID.

My Bridal shower was also the same wkend and the day before the wedding. It was pretty hectic but my gorgeous MOH, Lia, and friends pulled it off so wonderfully! Many thanks for showering me with so much love!

The Wedding Day: 06.24.12

I knew that if things didn't work out perfectly, it would be okay. What mattered most was our love and our commitment together. I'm so thankful to have Matha, Ka and Lia to help me set up. Everything turned out so well. I am still in love with the activities, decorations, cake and flower arrangements that were set up! This was definitely more than I had dreamed of what my wedding would be like.
