Fabulous Valentine's Challenge : Day 4


Eric and I got married on June 19, 2010 in Dallas, Texas. The ceremony was held at Perkins Chapel on the Southern Methodist University campus, where Eric went to school. The reception was at the Warwick Melrose Hotel, also in Dallas. All pictures were taken by the fabulous Margaret Wolf of Moving Images Productions. I had a blast working with her on our engagements, bridals, and wedding day. I will have to share both (yes, two bridal sessions, one at the ranch, and one at the Melrose) on another day. Ok, I went over board. I knew it would. I hope you enjoy our special day! I obviously did! This is the story of our wedding day and I couldn't leave anything out!

 The Warwick Melrose Hotel, Dallas, TX

 Loved my bridesmaids dresses from Priscilla of Boston in Cornflower

 Writing a letter for Eric to open before the ceremony. That red bull got taken away later by my father when my prewedding anxiousness got the best of me!

 Eric's turn!

 All the boys hanging out before getting ready.

 Loved my flowers by Fete des Fleurs

 In the limo on the way to the church - pretty sure we are dancing to Miley Party in the USA!

 Gorgeous June day in Dallas

 The guys arrive

 All dressed!

 My parents, grandmother, brother and sister in law, and nephew Mason

 With my beautiful bridesmaids!

 My handsome groom! I love the solo pics she took of him because he does NOT like pictures!

 Eric with his parents and grandmother

 Such good looking guys!

 "in waiting" in the bride's quarters of Perkins

 My sweet mother giving me my great grandmother, Baba's, ring as my something old. This was a very special moment.

 Love my pop!

 My brother, Matt, and his son, Mason, my super cute ring bearer

 Waiting....

 Mason walked with his mom. That pillow is my mother's wedding dress!

 I love this picture because I am looking back at my mom.

 The church and everyone!

 You may now kiss the bride!

 Yay!

 Wedding party

 Mason!



 On the way back to the hotel

 Reception ballroom

 Delicious cake by Delicious Cakes

 I was ready to get in there!

 First dance

 Father Daughter dance

 We had PicFlips at the reception which was the most fun thing ever. They take a 7 second video of you and turn it into a flip book. Ingenius! Everyone loved it.


 Some of my good girlfriends!

 Yes, he smashed cake in my face.

 So fun!

 The sign says it all!

 "I got my hands up. They're playing my song! The butterflies fly away!"

 I just love this picture, Brittany.

 Mason getting down!

 My dad and I doing our signature moved, the washboard. It goes way back.

 As you can see, it turned into a dance party. Which is exactly what I wanted.

 Dance with my bro

 Sparklers!

 Is it really over??

The end to the most wonderful night ever!

If you made it this far, wow! Thanks! I know it was a lot. It was the best day and I could not have asked for anything different.  We have the best parents and family and friends and it was a perfect day that I will remember forever! I married the love of my life and for that I am forever thankful. The beautiful wedding was just the icing on the (yummy and delicious) cake!
