More wedding favorites

Here are some more shots from the day. There are so many great ones; it's hard to pick. Our photographers really did a great job of capturing the night. Thank you, Alea and Kim!

 

First dance, "Then" by Brad Paisley

Our cakes were made by Mark at Classic Cheesecakes and Cake

Dan and I talked about feeding the cake to each other sweetly-he lied.

Dan's a big fisherman so we had his cake made to look like a tacklebox.

These were my first babies before Carrie and Kyle's children.

Hill couldn't be any happier.

Dan's such the charmer.  :)

Mr. Tony with Mrs. Cronic. She and her husband came and spent the whole night with us.

The only moment I sat down. I love my parents. Aren't they cute?

I love Julie. She had such a good time. Love that Gea is in the background, too.

Magan's husband, Matt, and Steph's husband, Tom, knew how to break it down.

SHOUT!

Running through the petals...

Riding away. It went so fast...

Wedding Party

Where have I been? I know... it's so hard for me to keep this updated. I get distracted with other things, but see all the memories my friends are making and am going to try to keep this updated-somewhat.


So, you've seen all the honeymoon, but here are some wedding pictures finally.




Here's a sampling of the bridal party pictures from the wedding. Everyone looked so beautiful and I cannot even count how many times I was told that I had the most beautiful, sweetest bridal party. It's true! I'm a lucky girl. 

I know people thought I was crazy for having so many people in the wedding, but it truly would not have been the same without one of these girls. They have been with me through so many different times in my life. 

The top row includes: Danielle (nursing school), Lauren (grade school), Jacqueline (forever), Katie (forever).

The middle foursome is my family: Carrie (Matron of Honor:sister), Lynlee (sister-in-law: married to Kyle), Angie (sister-in-law:married to Bo) and Sarah (niece:Carrie's daughter).

The bottom row includes: Christy (sorority lil sis), Magan (high school/church) , Stephanie (Early Childhood) , Sarah (sorority)

Our flowers were done by Carithers: AH-mazing! I was in love. I know it may be silly to buy flowers because they don't last forever, but as Dan has discovered, I love dried flowers and these flowers will last forever in pictures. I was a little obsessed with the bridesmaid dresses and their bouquets. So happy with Bella Bridesmaid and Jenny Yoo for making my vision a reality.

Now for the boys...

The top row is Dan's family. His dad was his best man and his brothers were groomsmen. 

Mr. Tony (best man), Bo and John

The foursome after that is my family. We even got a picture of Owen before he got sick. 

Kyle (brother-in-law), Griffin (nephew:Carrie and Mark), Owen (nephew:Carrie and Mark), Mark (brother-in-law: married to Carrie)

Then the next group of guys are Dan's friends from many different stages of his life:

Jake (roommate in Athens), Jeremy (worked together in Athens), Hudson roommate in Athens/worked together), Garrett (grew up in Greene Co. together), Jimmy (grew up in Greene Co. together), and Bay (another from Greene Co.).

More wedding pictures to come...

Honeymoon Day 6 and 7

The Last of our Honeymoon...

This was our activity on Friday. You use the paddle board and the fin underneath the board helps you sail. You can use these boards to sail around the island. It was a great work-out and allowed for a little sunbathing at the same time. 

 

These are pictures from the sunset cruise Friday night. We went around the bay towards Necker Island and Bitter End Yacht Club. Necker Island is the ridiculously expensive island that Richard Branson owns. I heard that William and Kate thought about coming to it, but changed their minds. 

These are our friends from North Carolina, Dan and Shannon. They made our days exciting and helped us capture memories by taking pictures for us.

This is us celebrating our last day with our champagne from the first night. We tried to drink it and supposedly it was really good, but we're just not champagne drinkers. 

The last night ended sweetly. Dinner was great and I enjoyed a strawberry daquiri. So sad that our trip is almost over.

This is from our last day. It was another beautiful day, but then it was time for our ride back to Tortola to head back to Atlanta. Here is Dan and I on the plane headed back home. Now to make our new house a home!
