my favorite wedding memory

I have to admit that the one thing I was most nervous about when it came to the wedding reception was the father/daughter dance. My dad and I have never been the mushy feely type with each other. We get along and I know I can talk to him when I need to, but I am definitely closer to my mom.
Mom and dad would not tell me what song dad and I were going to dance to. I know dad wanted to be able to choose the song, so I allowed him that. We both knew that we did not want any of the traditional father daughter songs b/c those songs are just not us songs. So when it came time for the father daughter dance I braced myself for what ever song was going to come through those speakers.
Thats when dad said that he had a surprise for me. I saw one of our long time family friends getting his guitar out and going up on stage. I immediately started crying. Never in a million years did I expect dad to have some one perform for me! Then Dave started singing, not only was he performing for us, he was performing a song that he and my dad wrote just for me. How PERFECT! There were lyrics in that song that told stories from the day I was born up until now. I never felt closer to my dad than I did at that exact moment. I LOVE YOU DAD!!

ok, I am back!

once again, I have to admit that I have got to be the worst blogger ever!

The wedding has come and gone but not with out some incredible memories. My mom helped to make my wedding week one that will never be forgotten, starting with a bridal shower on Sunday.



The rest of the week was filled with getting more engagement photos, rehearsal dinner and casino night with the bridal party!




The day of our wedding I truly felt like a princess. My mom worked her but off to make it a memorable and precious day for us. I got to spend the day at the castle where everyone got their hair and makeup done while everyone else spent the day downstairs setting up. We dont have pictures from the wedding day yet, but they will be here soon!

I do not remember much after getting my bridal portraits done. Aaron says that we were at the reception for three hours, but I feel like it was only 30 minutes. I think everyone had a good time though, I know we did.

For our wedding night and the night after we stayed in a Camelot themed room, this room was amazing!





But, not as amazing as our room at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica! This is one trip that we are never going to forget, and we hope to go back some day. Here are a few pictures to enjoy:
