Better late then never :)











Thank's to my amazing cousin Meredith Stone, We have our reception pictures! I have posted them on Facebook and wanted to post a few here so everyone could see.

Paul and I's reception was wonderful. We were so abundantly blessed to be able to have most of our families in town for the event.

I am so thankful that I was able to dance with 3 out of the 4 most amazing men in my life that evening. Unfortunately, my oldest brother Adam was unable to make.
Paul and I's first dance was to the song Me and You by Kenny Chesney. Paul picked the song and it was more then perfect! I loved being able to dance with him. That will be a forever memory!
Next I got to dance with my dad. I danced with him while Paul danced with his mom. I am so lucky to have a wonderful relationship with my dad. When Paul and I got engaged, the word "comfort" does not describe how I felt knowing that my dad supported Paul and I's relationship. I knew that dancing with my dad would make me emotional. It was not tears of sadness, but of knowing that for so long my dad had wanted that day to come in my life... and it had finally arrived. I love my dad so much and am thankful he was able to be there to spend that day with me.
Finally, John and I had out spin around the dance floor. I swear, people who did not know that John and I have a "special" sibling relationship probably thought he was not taking the dance seriously... but to me... it was perfect. We are not serious when we are together... so why be serious then! We twirled around while he sang to me. I loved every second of it. I have the best brothers!

I would like to give a special thanks to my mom. Mom, you put fourth so much time and energy into making sure that our reception was nothing short of amazing. I want to thank you for making the evening beautiful. It looked nothing like prom ;) It was elegant and that's what I wanted from the start. I know I struggled with the reception plans from the beginning and I'm sorry about that. At the end of the night, Paul and I were driving back to the hotel and we both agreed that we were so pleased with the evening and we were thrilled we decided on going ahead with the reception. You are the most amazing Mom a girl could ask for. Thank you for loving me and supporting me and being there for me. I swear, you could are nothing short of amazing and I am so thankful for the creativity you put into our reception! THANK YOU!

For everyone who attended our wedding/reception... Thank you :) For those of you who could not attend but showed your love and support in so many other way... Thank you! We appreciate everyone's well wishes, cards and gifts. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful friends/family!
