Saying "I Do" & Us

As 5:30 neared, Laura, Rebecca, and I moved to the bride's room while the rest of the bridesmaids waited in the balcony and our parents greeted our guests as they began to arrive. After hours of not speaking on our wedding day and moving around the church grounds for photos while trying to avoid catching a glimpse of each other before the ceremony, I was beyond excited about the fact that Blair and I were finally in the same building and would be seeing each other soon.

And we're off!

I was so excited to reach the front of the church and see Blair. It was important to me to focus on Blair and each word that was read and spoken during our ceremony and try to really soak everything in as best I could.

The ceremony was perfect and just as Blair and I imagined it. We had a few moments to ourselves afterward and then headed back onto the lawn to greet our family and bridal party. After a few groups and some family photos, Angie got some pictures of Blair and I and then we were headed to Ansley to join our guests for the reception!
