Past My Bed Time

It's past my bed time, but my best friend Ramsey created a blog and now I have to copy her and make one myself....only problem is that she knows what she's doing and I have no clue. So this is my first blog, and it's too late for me to make any real sense. At this point I'm just happy I found the right web site. Maybe I can get more accomplished tomorrow after a decent (cross your fingers) nights sleep.

This is

one of my favorite pictures from our wedding. It was taken after the ceremony, while our reception was taking place. The photographer called us outside to take a final few pictures before she headed out. We were married at a beautiful historical hotel in Nashville called the Union Station. It was an old train depot in it's former life, and someone did a wonderful job renovating it. In fact, they recently renovated the hotel again. Anyway...We were married in the lobby in front of a massive fireplace. The reception was held in a small "ballroom" with the most beautiful arched stained glass windows. We had a very small ceremony, mostly family with very few friends. We were married at 12:30 PM on Saturday, October 30th. My thought was that if we were married near a holiday my husband might not forget our anniversary :) It was only a few hours after the ceremony that this picture was taken, but we were both exhausted. Happy, but tired. I had no idea how emotionally draining the day would be. The day flew by and now I understand why everyone said that we should have the ceremony and reception video taped, because I remember very little about the big day. Fortunately my dad's cousin and my brother caught most of the day on a hand held recorder. We had a company called Hatch Show Print make our invitations. Hatch is the oldest letter press company in the U.S. I couldn't have asked for more incredible invitations. A Village of Flowers did the flower arrangements. Melissa was awesome at taking the center piece idea I had in my head and actually putting it on the table. Jason and I are both freaks about cheesecake and we found a baker who made us a unique wedding/cheesecake. I also found a wedding themed snowglobe (I still collect) to decorate the cake table. I hope our guests had as much fun as we did. We so appreciated those out of town family and friends who were able to travel in to share the weekend with us.
