6-11-11 - Our Wedding!


Hi all, I'm finally getting back to the blogging world, after being in la-la land for a few weeks! My computer crashed at work, so it's been hard! I just wanted to post a few pics from our wedding weekend festivities!


Here's the crew who was in town on Thursday night.
We love Jalapenos! :)


On to the Ceremony Rehearsal on Friday night, I liked this pic, because it shows our awesome Priest, Father Jerry - who is hilarious! and, he made us kiss 4 times at our rehearsal, maybe to help calm a few nerves :) I wish you guys could have seen Brent's tie - it's the first time in 3 years that I could get him to wear purple!!!


We had an awesome Rehearsal Dinner at Wil Jenny's! Man, their food is SO good! It was fun seeing a lot of our friends & family. We were having so much fun, we had to remind ourselves that the wedding was the next day!

Here we are on Saturday morning at the Hotel - getting our hair & makeup done! Thanks so much to Karen & Brenda for coming up from Great Bend to do all our hair!!!!

We were in a hurry towards the end, but we all made it to the church! It did, however, involve Lindsay driving a Durango 85-90 mph up I-35!



Finally walking down the aisle with my dad!

The ceremony was great! I did have a few tears - I tried to be tough! but I just couldn't do it!




Our "Bubble" Exit


We had so much fun on our Trolley ride! We took pictures at the JC Nichols Fountain where Brent proposed (& we saw 3 OTHER wedding parties show up at the same time!!!!), & the Nelson Atkins Museum. The weather was absolutely perfect!


My beautiful Bridesmaids


Brent's Groomsmen, Ushers, & Reader
(I think we had plenty of guys in the wedding party!)



The Thurmans


The Taylors


Our First Dance to Frank Sinatra - The Way you Look Tonight



Cutting our Cake



Instead of doing the bouquet to all the single ladies (which I always hated when I was single &got shoved out there), I gave the bouquet to the longest married couple, which were my grandparents, Bud & Betty, 67 years in August!


On Sunday, we had some Taylors & Healeys over for a Post-Wedding Lunch at our house. Do you think we all look a little drained?!?? Then came the frantic packing for the honeymoon & up at 3am on Monday morning to get to the airport.


 

On our 6am flight to Phoenix, we rode with my GB friend Gina & her new hubby Kirk. They got married in Great Bend on the same day! We were all ready for some sunny relaxation in Mexico :)

We had the best weekend ever! So much fun & what an amazing experience! Everything went off without a hitch! But, we are VERY glad to be a "boring" married couple now :)

Thanks to everyone who helped & celebrated with us! We love our amazing family & friends!

And, there will be no more Wedding Countdown on the blog, but, YES, I will still be blogging about our lives as Mr. & Mrs. Taylor :)

Photo Blog

Our awesome photographer was Rachel Moore, man did she work her butt off on our wedding day! She was with me from 9am until 10:30pm!!! Amongst the probably 1000's of photo's, I'm sure we got some good ones :)

She has posted a few pictures on Facebook & on her blog. There's a few more on the blog for those of you dying to see a few more!
