Wedding Bliss

The deed is done. The fees have been paid, the license has been filed and just like that we are married.

Woo Hoo!

Saturday was a great day! It was a little touch and go for both of us earlier in the day - we were both so nervous that we felt like we were going to get sick. Luckly neither of us did.

We started the day with photos at 3 pm at the house "getting ready." We then headed to Mt. Vernon and the the Washington Monument (here in Baltimore) for some wedding party photos.

It was threatening to rain (sort of - the weather report said 50% chance for the entire day.) Thank goodness it didn't rain - although it was REALLY hot walking around in my dress outside.

We took a lot of good pics. At one point i got rust on my dress and my girls came to my rescue. Thank you ladies! (And Tide to Go pen!!)

We made it to Chase Court around 5 and took a few family photos and then I escaped to the bride's room to hide out until the ceremony.

I was still kinda nervous about the ceremony but i knew it would work out and it did! Our friend MB did the ceremony and it was GREAT! He really took the whole thing seriously and did an amazing job! I don't really know how to thank him enough.

The ceremony was a "land speed record" as the hubby ;-) would say. I think from start to finish took about 20 minutes. It was a fast 20 minutes. The entire thing just flew by and before i knew it we were done. I'm pretty sure I only took a breath about once a minute. (dress was a little tight.)

We took some more family pics during the cocktail hour and we were able to actually eat some of our appetizers.

We sort of fumbled through our first dance but it was WAAY better than if we had not taken any lessons at all.

Next we had dinner - yummy! I hope everyone had enough to eat. I didn't get to try any of the cheese. Darn.

Then we did toasts. My sisters was quite nice and the best man's was really personal and embarassed the hubby (aka Mr. Hokie). We opened up the dance floor, ate some cake, and before i knew it it was time to wrap up the party. WOW! It went by soooo fast.

I had a great time and i know Mr. Hokie did too.

Thank you to everyone who came! We are really glad that you were able to be a part of the big day!
