Ceremony

Our ceremony was the most special experience of my life to date. Spencer’s very close friend since childhood married us. He is actor, a comedian and now an officiant of the Universal Life Church. He told our love story in a way that taught our guests the people we are when we are apart, as well as the people we are together. I can’t put into words how special it was to have him there marrying us. We laughed and we cried. Just like we wanted it. It was perfect. It was us. I tear up every time I think about standing up there.
Our ceremony was supposed to be outside, overlooking the lake and the city skyline. But the morning of our wedding, we woke up to freezing temperatures. It was a beautiful sunny day but an outside ceremony was just not an option. I’ll be honest. I was upset. Really upset. We had chosen our venue because of the incredible views and now we’d be stuck in a tent. But the disappointment was momentary, my incredible wedding planner jumped on it and everything was moved inside. It was beautiful. Not what I had imagined, but beautiful. And at the end, I was Mrs. K. What more could I ever ask for?

PS I know my pictures are a little shoddy but I haven’t gotten the professional ones back yet and I couldn’t wait that long to share. Hope you don’t mind.
PPS I am going to take a break from wedding posting, but I will be back next week with the reception and honeymoon!

Primping

Although, I had only family as my bridesmaids I really wanted to find a way to include all of my close friends in the day of our wedding. So, I invited all of them to join us in the bridal suite and primp. It was a girly day filled with tons of food, hair, makeup and some ridiculously inappropriate conversation. Complete with an appearance by my pup and my dad.

Do I not have the most gorgeous friends and family? They are all incredible.
And tomorrow on to the ceremony… heres a little peek of my veil being put on.
