It was a gorgeous Friday, August 27, 2010. Rick and I both remember waking up feeling a lot of nervous excitement! There are so many memories from that miraculous day:
- seeing each other for the first time at one of my favorite spots in the city
- walking through the city with our bridal party for photos
- hearing the music in the church as so many people began to file into the church
- listening to the wedding music start and realizing it was our turn (after being in and at so many weddings, it was hard to imagine what you feel when it's your own)
- the walk down the aisle was so intense. that moment was ridiculous. i still remember turning to my dad and saying out loud "holy crap, this is intense". then i realized i said it out loud. moments later the place erupted in cheering and clapping. i turned to my dad and said, "i have never seen this happen, what do we do." he said, "just walk to the dot (referring to the taped dot on the floor)." i was so grateful when that moment was over and we were at rick's side.
- the worship with brian and steve, hearing all those voices in the beautiful church
- the personal messages from Doug and Phil
- our parents praying over us
- the party to celebrate was just what we wanted, time with people we love
- dave and emily singing harvest moon for our first dance (and there actually was a harvest moon that weekend....unexpectedly!)
- sister's toast
- dad's blessing and prayer
- leaving as husband and wife
That day was just the beginning and it keeps getting better.
