J and I have made many friends since we got married on July 2, 2006!!! So I wanted to share our day with everyone since some of you guys weren't able to attend. Our wedding day was the best day of my life! There was lots of love, fun, and excitement that day and there still is today. Marriage is a wonderful commitment and I am loving every minute of it.Now on with the story...
We got married at the Bicentennial Gardens in Greensboro, NC on a HOT summer's day. Family and friends enjoyed a weekend full of fun and love. We had an unusual rehearsal party...at the bowling alley! That's right, my entire family bowls and J learned how this year so we decided lets have a bowling party so that everyone can get to know one another in a fun, non-stuffy atmosphere.
The best part was when our wedding party decided to dress up as hillbillies, rednecks, Miami Vice,and hippies! It was the greatest. They were definitely the comedians that night! People really thought that's how they dressed. It was hilarious (in the words of a good friend)! Everyone even stayed in character for the rest of the evening. Their costumes really kicked off the party and gave everyone a HUGE laugh.
After all of the fun at the bowling alley some of my girlfriends stayed the night with me to help me get ready for the big day. I was so excited I got up at 6AM for a 4PM wedding! It was awesome though because it gave me time to reflect, read my scriptures, and write about the day in my journal. That was a very peaceful moment for me and I'm glad I got to have that before the rush of the day began.
After all of the primping I was ready to go. So we headed to the site and got married! I have never been more confident about something in my life and that felt great! My mom always told me to be patient and "he" would come along and she was right. J is the greatest!!! He's my best guy and I love him very much. Our day was wonderful and we are having a great time being newlyweds. Being married to him is so much fun and we cherish everyday that we have together. 
I get to be the first comment on the first post of your first blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor.
You two know you're awesome. I'm glad your wedding day was so special. Hopefully July 2, 2007 will be just as special when you head to the temple to be sealed for eternity. I can't wait to be there for that.
Looking forward to reading about more adventures of the Holmes family. Shelley and I love you guys.
Look at my powers of persuasion! I'm going to have the whole world blogging by the end of the year! And I do say "hilarious" a lot. That's so hilarious of you to pick up on that. Thanks for sharing the pics - you guys are everyone's favorite couple. We're glad to be in your lives (and vice versa).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great opening post! I can't wait for more. LOVE the pics. I'm so glad Andrew and I were able to share that day with you and happy we have continued to become friends since then.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too cute! Where is the park you got married in? I want to go there! David and I got married outside too and loved it. I love your photos and the cute jerseys you guys were wearing.
ReplyDeleteI can't belive your friends dressed up like that. Too funny!
I love your wedding blog post.
ReplyDeleteI agree, marriage is great! Glad you two are finding so much joy. We were glad to share that day with you... it was a beautiful wedding.
