The Wedding!


Okay so, todays subject is...drum roll please! My sisters wedding! So, my sister arrived in Florida last weekend and ever since she got here we were planning her wedding. Which was a week long process, can you say exhausting! Well anyway, it was a blast despite all the hard work. So, she got married last Saturday and it was absolutely beautiful!
I was actually worried about how it would turn out, thinking it might be cheesy or something, but actually, it looked fantastic!
She had a country themed wedding, all the grooms men wore jeans, and the bridesmaids wore boots with our dresses. It was lovely! Everyone looked so wonderful. I was blessed by my sister by being asked to be the maid of honor, and of course I said yes! I was so ecstatic! All in all it was an amazing time!

At the wedding we danced like dorks, it was hilarious. It was mainly the bridesmaids and the bride dancing, the guys just couldn't keep up with us, lol.

Let me describe the venue to the best of my ability. First off I will just say it was gorgeous! She had an outdoor wedding, on a big piece of property owned by our friend. In his back yard he has a large pond, right on the pond is a little pavilion/gazebo with a dock over the water, which was all lit up. We set a tent up on the other side of the pond (Opposite of the gazebo/pavilion) that was were the reception took place. the bonus to all of this was that our friend that owns this property has at least fifteen horses along with, 3 donkeys, a couple peacocks, a bunch of exotic birds and a bunch of other beautiful pets which made the wedding even more special.

Everything was perfect, except for one little thing, the weather... It was so hot and humid! Oh my gosh! I have never sweat so much in my entire life! I wont go into much detail on that subject, because it is rather annoying lol.
I gave a toast, which I was slightly nervous about... okay I was really nervous, haha, but I did it anyway!
Here it is:

"I won’t lie, today is a bittersweet day for me more sweet than bitter of course. Bitter in the sense of my best friend and sister is being taken away from me. It’s crazy, It feels like just yesterday we were playing polly dolls and sword fighting, and of course you planned your dream wedding out. At that age your intentions were far from marriage, but now, here we are, you are married and grown, you have become this beautiful and mature women of God. When I see you, I find a kooky, confident, loyal, God loving person who fervently and diligently seeks out the Lord. For that I can’t help but look up to you, my big sister and my best friend.


Now, for the sweet part of it all, yes, my sister is no longer just mine and my families, but I know with confidence that the man she married today is the perfect man of God for her. A man that will take care of her, love her with all of his heart, a man that protects her, a man that seeks and relies on God in faith.  I wouldn’t choose anyone else for her! 


I am so happy and excited for these two people that are here before me, because I know that the plans God has for both of them are going to be insane!"

Okay, I guess that is enough writing, so I will post a few of the pictures that I have so far, we haven't gotten the professional ones yet, these are just a few from some friends.
