our big day!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of our wedding day, but you can see very many more on my flickr. It was such a perfect, laid back day, & everything we wanted it to be. It was just simple, fun, and happy :] Here are some fun facts:

• Our photographers were the BEST. We couldn't have picked anyone cooler.
• After our rehearsal dinner picnic, the bridesmaids & I made our own bouquets with some real & some silk flowers.
• Ashley, my maid of honor, did a reading from The History of Love. My favorite book ever. 
• My mom's best friend from high school, Norma, married us.
• My dad made a box to include in our ceremony. Burton & I wrote love letters to each other to put in it, plus a bottle of beer & wine, to be opened on our 10th anniversary. We also threw in the reception speeches & Burton's boutonniere.
• 4Rivers catered their fantastic BBQ. When I first had their pulled pork sandwich a few years ago I exclaimed, "They'll cater my wedding!" & they did :]
• Our friends in Pickens Ivey provided the lovely twangy music at our reception :]
• Our first dance was "This Guy's In Love With You" by Herb Alpert.
• I danced to "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young with my dad.
• Burton danced to "In My Life" by The Beatles with his mama.
• Ashley & I made all of the desserts at the wedding, including the cake, mini pumpkin & pecan pies, and caramel dipped apples.
• Burton made all of the beer :]
• Isaac, the best man, made us cornhole boards for the reception.
• There was also a photobooth.
• Then we went on the most amazing honeymoon ever, in Costa Rica. Details on that are coming soon, I promise :]
