WE ARE MARRIED!!!

Our first kiss as Mr. & Mrs. Smith

Thank you to ALL of our fabulous friends and family for sharing our special day with us! It really was the most amazing day! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding! The winery was GORGEOUS (thank you Eva for everything!!!), the flowers were insane, everyone was dressed to the nines and looked fantastic (especially our parents and wedding party!!!), the food was yummy (at least the little that I could put down - haha), the wine was endless (Thank You Falkner Reisling), the music was a perfect blend of old & new, the cake (or cupcakes) were insane, the speeches were all tear-jerkers (as expected), my new hubby looked so handsome, I didn't look to shabby if I do say so myself... but most of all, and we were just talking about it... we are so happy and blessed to have the family & friends that we do. Who come from near and far to share such a special occassion with us. Who support and love us unconditionally. And who have all played an important role in who we have become today and will continue to be a significant part in who we become, as individuals, but mainly, as a successful, loving, forever-lasting married couple.

Here are some pics below from everybody's cameras (THANK YOU)... Please send me your pics while we are on our honeymoon! We want to come back to flooded email inboxes filled with pics of the best day ever!

Seriously, one of the most hysterical things was the night of the rehearsal dinner... when our entire group took over at Texas Lils and karaoke'd our lil asses off!

You can't tell here, but Cory was teary eyed when I walked down the aisle. For someone who never cries, I almost lost it seeing him cry! It was perfect!

One of the most memorable and special parts of the night, was when my new husband sang our wedding song to me. It was so unexpected. And really was the sweetest thing ever!

THANK YOU to everyone who helped put this together! Our parents and families, my bridesmaids, especially my MoH, Jenn! And to my new sis, Meghan for putting all of the programs together! Thank you to the Cord & Veil peeps for being a part of the ceremony... Michelle & Dino and Uncle Colin & Aunt Sue! Thanks again to all of you for coming out to Falkner Winery and sharing in our wonderful day! We love you all!!!

Lastly, thank you to my wonderful, loving new husband... I really do promise to fill our home with peace, love, laughter, and chocolate covered pretzels... In-N-Out, which sounds AMAZING right now... thank you for giving me my dream wedding and being the love of my life. You are my best friend and my one true love. I can't wait for our honeymoon... and eventually for our reality show that blows Jon & Kate out of the water!
Nobody loves you like I do...
