We had such a fun time having wonderful food, dancing and hanging out with our friends and family!<br /><br />We walked in, and immediately did our first dance.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 336px; height: 504px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/vhq0d2.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then we had a yummy dinner from Salem Kitchen. While we ate, our photographers were busy taking shots of all the little details!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/2efnl04.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 383px; height: 576px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/2ez673o.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 440px; height: 292px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/zyc4t1.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Once dinner was over, we made our way around our two crazy long tables to see all our guests. We even took some pictures with some people, like my aunt Esther and cousin Kristin. My aunt wore my dress when she got married too!!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 396px; height: 296px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/29xhtzk.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />One of my favorite parts of the night was doing the "Grand March" with my dad. It was our special father/daughter dance that everyone got to participate in it.<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 470px; height: 312px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/16ap8j7.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Us ladies (minus Sabrina :-( ) did some karaoke<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 461px; height: 345px;" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/v5z5hx.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We cut our cake<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 447px; height: 334px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/14b16b7.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our best man and matron of honor gave toasts :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 462px; height: 345px;" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/ek5eep.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />and we danced the night away with our wonderful friends and family!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 469px; height: 350px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/33nx7nr.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I'll be posting more about all the details soon!!!<br /><br />:-)Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-44623584335236935092009-10-21T07:46:00.000-07:002009-10-21T07:48:03.795-07:00I Was Blogged :-)A lovely knottie has started a wedding blog and she put me on there for having worn my mom's dress!

I am!<br /><br />So Saturday morning I woke up around 7-7:30AM.... I laid in bed and kept waiting for 8AM, when I could call the rental company and let them know about the 45 chairs they shorted me, and how they were going to be delivering them pronto.<br /><br />8AM- I called rental co. I was nice. No need to be snippy, after all, I already got snippy on their emergency line- and lets face it- snippy can get you nowhere fast sometimes.<br /><br />8:15AM- back to bed.<br /><br />9 AM- BM Karen comes in with a wedding gift :-) She thought we'd be up (Me, BM Nicole and BM Liz shared a room). She was all giddy and happy with her coffee and gift. She ploped down on our bed, and gave it to me. I open up the most perfectly personalized cookbook ever! She'd collected lots of pictures of Jeremy and I through the years with our family and friends and put them along with our favorite family recipes! It's awesome, and now sits proudly on a shelf in our kitchen!<br /><br />10 AM- Elizabeth arrives to do hair and makeup.... gah, we love her! :-)<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 423px; height: 281px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/29crkux.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />12:30 PM- Our Lunch arrives at our hotel room :-)<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 422px; height: 315px;" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/jfi5vo.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />2:30 PM- We headed off to Sertoma- and of course I needed gas!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 425px; height: 282px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/rk8qck.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />3-3:45 PM- Was, well, a bit insane. Because of the chair issue I wanted to run make sure everything was alright with that, and I wanted to move some lamps at the last moment. I needed to help Jennifer get the desserts and flowers from the cooler and then get ribbon tied around all the bouquets. We all teamed up together to get the ribbon on the flowers, got dressed and off we went to take pictures!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 428px; height: 284px;" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2uoi3yc.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />3:45-4:30 PM- Because my sister's car had been broken into at the hotel the night before, they had managed to borrow a friends minivan, which worked out perfect to haul us all down to the horse barn to take pictures!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 428px; height: 284px;" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/29zsowj.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 419px; height: 278px;" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/t02nih.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 274px; height: 412px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/14w7teb.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />meanwhile- the boys were taking pictures too :-)<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 369px; height: 245px;" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2cqbps0.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then.... it was time!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/33y5bnd.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/opodid.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We're married!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 388px; height: 283px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/vresth.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2im9bo7.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />.........

I've finally somewhat gotten caught up on work, so here it goes....<br /><br />Let me start by saying, Thursday before the wedding was busy busy busy. I got up early and drove the doggies up to Conover for boarding. Then ran a few last errands on my way home. I spent the rest of the day organizing, packing the suburban, and putting bouquets together. Then that evening when Jeremy came home from work, we finished packing the truck..... and car. Yes, we had to drive separate to our own wedding weekend... we simply had too much stuff!<br /><br />So anyway- Friday, right, Friday, we were talking about Friday......<br /><br />We got up early, showered and packed those last few items. We took off in two different directions. I was headed to Greensboro to pick up the cakes and cupcakes. We ordered them from <a href="http://maxieb.com/">Maxie B's</a>, the bakery I worked at for 2.5 years while in college at UNCG. I arrived there shortly after 10AM, and had a nice visit with the ladies, picked up our goodies and off I went.<br /><br />I made my next stop at <a href="http://www.blogger.com/salemkitchen.com">Salem Kitchen</a>, our catering company, to drop off our final payment. My last stop was Jersey Mikes, Jeremy requested I pick it up for lunch.<br /><br />Finally..... I was on my way to Sertoma.<br /><br />I had *planned* to spend 12-4 cleaning and decorating the chapel, hotel and rec hall. With the help of bridesmaid, Melanie and DOC, Jennifer, we unloaded the truck and car, and began working!<br /><br />Jeremy's parents arrived, and his mom was really sick :-( So she steered clear of all of us! Meanwhile, him and his dad started hanging the white bed sheets around the porch.<br /><br />I kept wondering where the <a href="http://www.hauserrentalservice.com/">rentals</a> were (tables, chairs, plates, glasses.... all the jazz I rented for the reception) I had scheduled them for delivery between 1-2 PM..... it was past 2 at this point. I call them, "Oh well, we weren't told you needed them at a certain time, just that you needed them today, they just packed the truck and will be pulling out shortly"<br /><br />fast forward 2 more hours.... still no rentals..... I call again. "They just left with the truck"<br /><br />5:30 PM the rentals show up.... LATE.... but thank God.<br /><br />We start the rehearsal late (the preacher was late, so it all worked out anyway).<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/6suavq.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br />We eat dinner and distribute gifts.<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i33.tinypic.com/fx3zoz.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 396px; height: 295px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/282hxtx.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2u77oyb.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br />We then had everyone pitch in and help us set up the reception.... which should have been done that afternoon.... but with no tables, you can't really do much!<br /><br />Melanie- filling the photo screen with pictures of our parents weddings.<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i35.tinypic.com/30tm6q8.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br />taking a break from decorating for a photo!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 397px; height: 297px;" src="http://i34.tinypic.com/2nsykg9.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 389px; height: 290px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/2s6sjk9.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br />We get the tables up, and the chairs up..... and that's when I look around and realize we don't have enough chairs!!!! I ordered 115.... they only delivered 70!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />At that point I swipe someones cell phone to leave the bitchy-ist voice mail ever on the rental companies "emergency voice mail" (of which I NEVER got a return call). I knew they opened at 8 the next day, so I made a mental note to call them again in the morning.<br /><br />We proceeded to dress the tables and continue decorating. We finished about 9:15 that night.... I thought it was much much later.... but realized it wasn't too late when I got in the car to drive to our hotel.<br /><br />Once we arrived at the hotel, I checked in, and went up to our room with my two roommates, Liz and Nicole. They'd given me a king room- not a king suite. So back to the front desk we went, and they fixed it (later I found out that Jeremy was also only given a regular King room and didn't know it was wrong)<br /><br />Then the bridesmaids (minus my sister) made a trip to walmart, and harris teeter for supplies and champagne!<br /><br />We spent the evening eating cheese puffs, trail mix and drinking champagne.Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-91956166494294535552009-10-13T05:44:00.000-07:002009-10-13T05:46:28.530-07:00We're Married!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uEQuifEzxg4/StR2l90-kDI/AAAAAAAAANM/wz_BJurZTPE/s1600-h/Horton-8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uEQuifEzxg4/StR2l90-kDI/AAAAAAAAANM/wz_BJurZTPE/s200/Horton-8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392065048493330482" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We're married!!! :-)</span><br /><br />I'll be slowly reviewing the weekend, but for now, there's lots of work to catch up on, and a very messy house to be cleaned!Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-69711763616433510442009-10-01T12:38:00.000-07:002009-10-01T12:48:14.523-07:00Our flowers arrived!!!!!Just before 9AM our flowers arrived!!!<br /><br />They are beautiful!!!! however, I wish the people at fifty flowers had told me that the white tulips I was ordering were going to be itty bitty..... not the size of "normal" tulips.... so they look a bit dinky compared to the orange ones..... oh well!<br /><br /><div id="flash-html-code" class="flashcode"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://tinypic.com/i/input.swf" style="" id="flash-html-code" bgcolor="transparent" quality="high" name="flash-html-code" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="ipt=%3Ca+href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ftinypic.com%22+target%3D%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg+src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F2m4bzp5.jpg%22+border%3D%220%22+alt%3D%22Image+and+video+hosting+by+TinyPic%22%3E%3C%2Fa%3E&trk=copy_details_html" height="19" width="262"></embed></div><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 283px; height: 377px;" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/23lzk7r.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 278px; height: 370px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/2m4bzp5.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 274px; height: 364px;" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/9lkc5c.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 275px; height: 365px;" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2zf4dpv.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><div id="flash-html-code" class="flashcode"><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://tinypic.com/i/input.swf" style="" id="flash-html-code" bgcolor="transparent" quality="high" name="flash-html-code" wmode="transparent" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="ipt=%3Ca+href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ftinypic.com%22+target%3D%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg+src%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fi33.tinypic.com%2F2m4bzp5.jpg%22+border%3D%220%22+alt%3D%22Image+and+video+hosting+by+TinyPic%22%3E%3C%2Fa%3E&trk=copy_details_html" height="19" width="262"></embed></div>Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-25324019483045077502009-09-30T09:37:00.000-07:002009-09-30T09:38:13.123-07:00weathervia noaa.gov<br /><br /><b>Saturday: </b>A chance of showers before 2pm.

After a very, very difficult last 4 days of nonstop work, I'm back in my office, only to have tons more work to accomplish. But, I am keeping my spirits high, because I am getting married this weekend! :-)<br /><br />I pulled all the wedding stuff down from our office into our dining area last night. I then sat at our table and worked on "glittering" some pumpkins. They are a pain in the ass to do, but they look so pretty. I think I am going to put them out on the picnic tables on the porch :-)<br /><br /><br />Vases of pumpkins for the tables!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 212px; height: 283px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/2cxb2hz.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Most of the wedding stuff!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 317px; height: 237px;" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/2cctg0w.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Glittered pumpkins! :-)<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 319px; height: 240px;" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/2m7urv5.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a>Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-8936396290480441242009-09-23T09:03:00.000-07:002009-09-23T09:20:53.303-07:00Getting Close!I've made my final to do list on a day by day basis.....

State Won and we got tons of cool stuff at our "Tailgate Shower"!<br /><br />I also had a visit with Olga.... the dress looks amazing! She is outstanding, I can't wait to wear it! (want to see pics? email me! pinkladiej@gmail.com)<br /><br />.... Wedding madness has begun to take over our dining room now... it seems to be like a disease spreading throughout our house!<br /><br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.tinypic.com/104mb2e.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I worked on our programs, and goodie bags for the hotel rooms on Friday afternoon....

So for all you out there who are wondering "If I am nervous yet?" Yes. and No.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">No.</span><br />I'm not nervous to marry Jeremy. I know I could never find someone who loves me the way he does. I'll never want to wake up next to anyone else. I'll never see eye to eye on so many different things with any one else. I am not nervous about the weather. If it rains, that will suck- but at least their is a chapel to get married inside of! If it's cold- so what? People do have tvs and people do watch the weather and prepare for what to wear every other day, why is this day different? If it's chilly, bring a jacket! No. I'm not nervous.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yes.</span><br />I am nervous.... about the Thursday and Friday, before the wedding. I'm nervous about time. Will their be enough to adequately do all the things that are planned to be done. I'm nervous all 425 flowers that arrive on Thursday will be crushed, and look awful. I am nervous that I won't find mini pumpkins in time. I am basically nervous about all the little things that must be done in the few days prior to the wedding! Yes. I am nervous.Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-795870434846983152009-09-18T06:43:00.001-07:002009-09-18T06:49:22.909-07:00Looking Forward....To the weekend!!!!!!!!<br /><br />We're headed to Durham this evening to spend the night with Jeremy's Parents.

So, he decided on Friday night he couldn't wait any longer! He led me through the kitchen into our living room with my eyes closed, so that he could hand me my gift. I opened my eyes to find a box covered in "wrapping paper" he had made. He took bunches of pictures of us and copied them all on to a giant sheet of paper to wrap my gift with! I gingerly opened the gift, so I could save the paper, I opened the unmarked box to find an unmarked leather case. Inside the case was a BEAUTIFUL strand of pearls. I am in love with them!!! He wanted so badly for me to wear them on Saturday to the football game, but I couldn't stomach risking loosing them!!! I will most likely wear them on the big day!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 254px; height: 339px;" src="http://i26.tinypic.com/2mdksw5.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />After he gave them to me, I thought, what the hell, I will go ahead and give him his gift too! I brought down a patterned baggie with my b-pic album inside. He opened it up, and flipped through those pages 100 times!!! When he got to the end, and saw the picture of Stewie.... he about died!!! I have never seen him laugh so hard!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 210px; height: 314px;" src="http://i25.tinypic.com/vdfyhs.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />***If you don't remember, we (I!) won stewie during our e-pic shoot at the fair.... he will be randomly making appearances throughout our photo shoots!***Jessica Hortonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888739378642300909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-434302417062432531.post-47828505092238730062009-09-14T07:13:00.000-07:002009-09-14T07:20:45.460-07:00Weekend RecapI got a bit done on Friday... but not much the rest of the weekend!<br /><br />I left work, picked up our pumpkin! and dropped off our table runners to be monogrammed!<br /><a href="http://tinypic.com/" target="_blank"><img style="width: 321px; height: 240px;" src="http://i31.tinypic.com/29zod95.jpg" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Bought our chardonnay from Trader Joes!<br />Found these awesome little buckets to put 4 bottles of champagne on our head tables!
