FREE PHOTOGRAPHY!

Hi All!
I know it's been a long time since I've posted over here.... but that's because I write HERE now!

I also have started a little photography business on the side... I offered 10 free shoots when I got started. Well, a couple of the shoots fell through, so I am giving you guys another shot at them! Head over HERE to see more on it!

Reception Review!

The reception was awesome!!! We had such a fun time having wonderful food, dancing and hanging out with our friends and family!

We walked in, and immediately did our first dance.



Then we had a yummy dinner from Salem Kitchen. While we ate, our photographers were busy taking shots of all the little details!







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!!



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.



Us ladies (minus Sabrina :-( ) did some karaoke



We cut our cake



Our best man and matron of honor gave toasts :-)



and we danced the night away with our wonderful friends and family!




I'll be posting more about all the details soon!!!

I Was Blogged :-)

A lovely knottie has started a wedding blog and she put me on there for having worn my mom's dress! Check her out HERE!!!

Thank You Cards!

I absolutely despise that I haven't written a single thank-you note yet. Buuuuuuuuttttt.... I have good reason :-)

I was waiting for our pro pics to be blogged so that I could make postcards using one of our pro pics!!! Well, they were blogged on Friday, and I ordered the cards today! They should arrive next week.

So don't go judging me yet, because you haven't received your note yet.... it's coming, I promise!

Wedding Day Review!

Here we go..... are you ready? I am!

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.

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.

8:15AM- back to bed.

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!

10 AM- Elizabeth arrives to do hair and makeup.... gah, we love her! :-)


12:30 PM- Our Lunch arrives at our hotel room :-)


2:30 PM- We headed off to Sertoma- and of course I needed gas!


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!


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!




meanwhile- the boys were taking pictures too :-)


Then.... it was time!





We're married!






......... Next up, the reception!!! :-)

Changing My Name

Today I am making the trip to the Cabarrus County courthouse to retrieve my marriage certificate so that I can change my name! I will officially be a Horton by the end of the day! :-)

New Blog!!!

Don't worry, I'll continue to review the wedding weekend here! :-)
