The Wedding!

Alright, so it's been awhile since we've updated anything. In the words of my cousin Jamie, though, we decided to "come up for air." (Sorry, Jamie, I really like that expression though). Anyways, So alot has happened since the last time I posted anything. We've been so busy with wedding plans, the actual wedding, the honeymoon, my new job, moving both of us out of our apartments and into a new apartment. So, its been crazy. But, we had a beautiful wedding and two great receptions. The actual wedding day started early in the morning with a wedding breakfast/brunch, prepared my Nola Dill. It was delicious and everyone loved it and had a good time. It was good for introducing immediate family and close friends before the wedding and receptions. Then, we headed over to the temple to take pictures. It was great weather, other than the fact it was 110 degrees outside. But, we all suffered through it and the pics turned out great. (I'm praying you can't see the sweat beads on my face...) Then, the wedding was at 2:00pm in the OKC temple and it was absolutely beautiful. We had our Stillwater reception that night at 6:30pm. Lots of wings, cheese, my mom's delicious sugar cookies, and cake. My mom and Nola did a great job on the food and decorations. My mom had pink and white tulips in white baskets as the center pieces. It was really pretty and we all had fun. The next day, we had the McAlester reception. Carol, Kathy, and Kara Scifres did a fantastic job on everything! They really put themselves out there. The cake was gorgeous and the grooms cake was a fantastic guitar cake. Alot more smiles, pics, and talking and the night was soon over. Altogether, we had a wonderful time! We went to Clearwater, Florida (tampa bay area) for our honeymoon. Our hotel resort was directly on the beach. It was beautiful (sorry i know im saying that alot, but its true) Then we went to Busch Gardens, an amusement park in Florida. It's a zoo and amusement park put together. It was great for us since we both love the zoo and roller coasters. It was so much fun...anyways, we're supposed to go eat dinner with my mom for Sunday dinner. And James made his famous southern fried ocra...so later!
