To start things off, can I just mention that it was my goal to roll this blog out about....oh, 12 months ago?! But who knows that we don't always stick to our amazing plans in those busy minds of ours? So, here I am a year later, but I figure better late than never!
Once upon a time, a year ago on September 24, 2012, I became the happiest girl in the world! Adam and I had our absolute fairy tale wedding in Gallatin, TN with all of our family and friends, and well, it definitely turned out to be so much more than perfect! We had a year and one month of planning, meanwhile finishing up our Senior year at The University of Tennesee, Knoxville (Go Vols!)
It all came together beyond my wildest dreams. Anyone that was around me that year knows I had to have every little detail planned out, but you know what...this girl is only going to have ONE wedding, and I wanted it everything I had always imagined! And it was. Thank God for my 8 bridesmaids and both of our families that put up with me through a year of planning, engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette party, bridesmaids luncheon, rehearsal dinner, and the one Big Day!
What I also need to share is that both us of growing up in small town, TN, going to the same high school, and thinking going away to UT - Knoxville (3 hours away) was a big deal...we were in for a big awakening! We found out in August, yes one month before our wedding, that Adam's job location was going to place us in SAN DIEGO, CA! Such a huge shock, but turned out to be the best, most incredible journey, and I'll share that part later.
Enjoy some of our wedding memories!

Do you know how hard that was for me to pick JUST those photos? So many amazing wedding photos of our incredible day, but those are it for now.
