My wedding was more than I could have asked for! My hair was perfect (and it's also a story in itself), the cake was amazing, everything went as planned (except the cute little Preston, the ring bearer), and after a solid month of rain my outdoor wedding was sunny without a breeze!
If you have a Facebook, you can see some of the pictures from one of the photographers here:

For those who don't have a Facebook, here are some of my favorite pictures:
Us, Best Man, Maid of Honor, his parents:
Same pose, but my parents:
We had "unity sand" instead of a unity candle:
Flutes with cider, and our Big Splash wedding cake. (We met at a water park in Tulsa called Big Splash.) The top is an inner tube made out of rice crispie treat.
Here's what I mean by everything went as planned except the ring bearer. He's only about 2 1/2 and he kept stopping to pick up the flowers or reaching for his mommy, who was walking off to the side:
Finally, mommy just grabbed his hand and walked him down herself. Thank goodness, since the song I wrote for us walking down didn't last that long. Funny, though, since we still got there in time for the chorus to start, haha.
If you can't tell, I love fedoras. So does Josh, so it wasn't hard to get him to wear one for the wedding! One of the biggest reasons I love the 1950s is because most every man wears a fedora. Those hats are so hot!
This photographer didn't stay for the reception, but the other one did. We had someone videotaping the whole thing, so I'll at least post sometime soon a shot of three of the groomsmen going crazy during one of the songs at the reception. It was hilarious! My favorite part was at the end when Greg, the Best Man, said "WILL THIS SONG NEVER END?!"
Oh, yeah, here's the groom's cake. It's supposed to be Air Force, but it looks like Army.

I love fedoras too.
