one year ago today...

...the husband and I tied the knot! Our ceremony started at 5:30pm and we chose not to see each other beforehand. We exchanged rings and said the traditional vows, and our Reverend was awesome. We went through pre-marital counseling with him and he led a beautiful service. I won't bore you with 3,067 photos from the entire day, but here are a handful:

the handsome husband waiting for me

me with our sweet pooch, and the wedding dress I sold

hand-embroidered hankies for our moms purchased on Etsy

Can I talk about how lovely the flowers were?! They were spectacular. I am, of course, quite biased.

the bouts were black and white anemones

my bouquet had peonies, hydrangea, and ranoculus

the bridesmaid bouquets had the same, except for anemones instead of the ranoculus

the church altar had a centerpiece of peonies, spray roses, and hydrangea plus tall vases of curly branches with glued-on blooms (no one could tell they were glued on, and it sure was cheaper than blooming tree branches - my florist was fantastic)

the reception centerpieces had peonies, spray roses, hydrangea and some green hangy-stuff that I forget the name of

and we danced to "Everything" by Michael Buble

How quickly a year goes by! Here's to many more...
