5 years ago today

Five years ago today I was 24 hours away from marrying my best friend and soul mate. It was a glorious day filled with a proper bridesmaids' luncheon, a rehearsal, a rehearsal dinner, and after "partying" in the parking lot of the "classy" motel where everybody stayed.

Let's start out with the classiest part of the day. All the girls loaded up and headed to Corpus to a bridesmaids' luncheon. It was hosted by my aunt and we had pretty little silver teapot place settings and a fun lunch with the girls. Here I am holding my 6 pence for my shoe.

Here we are looking so young at our rehearsal dinner.

Best man and his now wife and maid of honor. LOVE THESE PEOPLE!

The church pre-wedding. This is the church I grew up in. My parents were married here as well. Now that we are back down South you may recognize that this is the church we are once again attending!

Now here is where it gets a little "classy". Mathis is a small town and there are not so many options on places to stay. We decided that it would be more convenient to be close rather than having luxury. It turned out to be so much fun. Where else can you all hang out in the parking lot and take over a motel. Go ahead, giggle a little.

There was baby hugging going on, and that is my MIL to the right of me...she was wanting babies already!

Judson got a haircut in the parking lot-more class...but he looked purty for the wedding-thanks Carla!

Excited for the big day ahead.

Yes, they had to drink Lone Star.

Oops we are out of order...but here we are before the luncheon.

My maid of honor Sarah and the bride-to-be-ME!

This was our handsome little ring bearer.

My MOH standing in for me at rehearsal...we didn't plan to dress alike...and nope, we are not sisters :)

I'll never forget this wonderful day....but the best was yet to come!

Stay tuned for wedding day fun tomorrow! I can't believe 5 years has flown by. I love my husband more every day. I'm so blessed to be loved by him and his family.
