Show Us Your Life - Wedding Details

As I said last week...I love everything wedding so I'm joining in Kelly's Korner Show Us Your Life!


Our wedding was at Ella's Garden in Tomball, TX...it was a beautiful facility that housed our ceremony (outdoors) and our reception (indoors). It took place at sunset under a beautiful white gazebo!

(I took this picture from the upstairs dressing room right before our guests were seated)

My best friend, her mom (mom 2nd mom), and I made all the flowers for our wedding! And uh...evidently we took no pictures! LOL They were gorgeous though!


(This was from my prebridal shoot with Homeshade Photography...those shoes hurt real bad by the way!)

Our wedding party was small...3 on each side! My matron of honor was my sister, Sherie', my bff since 1st grade, Candace, and my college roommate and bestest, Marissa stood on my side. Mike, Shawn, and Eric, hubs fire brothers, stood on his side. Our daughters were our flowers girls and our nephew was the ring bearer. My ladies were chocolate brown and carried Fall colored flowers.



The ONLY thing I really really wanted at our wedding was a string trio. I was willing to splurge...say, um...$350 for 30 minutes for them!! (My dad actually ended up paying for this for us ;)



My girls trying to figure out how to bustle my dress after the ceremony!




The music for our ceremony was of course played by the string trio...it included...

Socks & Shoes

Conversation between Hubs and I last Saturday:

Hubs: Did you clean the house today?

Me: Uh, yeah! Didn't you see me and CAN'T you tell?? (frustrated because the day before we busted our butts in the house...steam cleaned carpets, moved every piece of furniture, cleaned baseboards, windowsills, ceiling fans, window treatments...EVERYTHING)

Hubs: Oh, k...just wondering why my socks are still here? (On the fireplace)

Me: Weird, I was wondering why YOU left them there...

Hubs: So, why didn't you pick them up?

Me: Why did you leave them there?

Hubs: (No response)

Needless to say...I left the socks there...so did he...until TODAY...4 days later...

Text to Hubs today while he's at work from me: Lucee (the dog) is carrying your sock around in her mouth.

Hubs: Little shit, at least she picked it up though.

Me: Yep...and I think I'll let her carry around the two pairs of shoes you left in the living room next.

I haven't heard from him since...

Show Us Your Life - Wedding Dresses

Kelly's Korner is hosting Show Us Your Life and today is Wedding Dresses! Yay! I haaaad to play along because I love wedding dresses...and everything wedding related. I'd do it all over again if my husband would let me. ;)



These are a few of my prebridal pictures. I had the BEST photographer! She doesn't normally do prebridals because she doesn't do weddings but she agreed to do mine! Yay! Check her out here.



I loved my dress. It was champagne and ivory...we had a Fall wedding and I thought the colors fit. I had always wanted a wedding dress with a splash of color....way before it was popular and by the time it was my turn to get married dresses with color were/are super popular so I lost interest in that.



This is the only one I have of the back of my dress. This is of course my daddy walking me down the aisle!

What's In That Thing?

I looove BIG purses...I'm small...but just love big purses...my husband always says, "What's in that thing?!" so I decided to share...

SYTYCD

I don't watch So You Think You Can Dance but I did happen to stumble upon this video clip of a routine performed on the show yesterday and it literally brought me to tears...just like most things have this past week. What's up with that?!

'SYTYCD' Top 8: Melissa & Ade's Contemporary Performance @ Y! TV

As most of you know my dad has fought cancer and like one of the judges said...anyone with cancer believes they can beat it. Luckily for my family, my dad did beat it but I have known way too many people who weren't so lucky. Watch this video...even if you're not a dance person...it will bring you to tears.
