Picture or Painting...?

So, besides being super-talented at making cakes (see picture of our wedding cake in previous post), my new Mother-In-Law is also a fabulous painter.

Below is a picture of Steve and I that was randomly taken by Kristen at my little graduation party when I graduated from Judson a couple of months after Steve and I started dating. Turns out it has become "the picture" of us!

Steve's mom loved the picture so much that she decided to paint a portrait of it as an engagement gift for Steve and I! Isn't she amazing!

Amanda and I created a video to show at the reception that ended with "the picture" fading into the picture of the portrait- Steve's mom just loved that and was so touched that we did that. Great idea Amanda! (I'd love to post the video out here but it's too big for blogger to post and I have no clue if there is any other way...)

The Wedding - The Cliff Notes Version

Well, I've finally gotten pictures from everyone so here is the Wedding Day in some of my favorite pictures...

At the salon gettin' pretty...

The "Updo Gang"
L-R: Shara, Amanda, My Mom, Me, Becky, and Kristen
Right after this we all enjoyed being quite the spectacle at Chick-Fil-A when we stopped there for lunch!

In my dress, all ready to go!

I was thirsty and all we had in our fridge was beer... :)

Steve and our niece Kelsey who was our flower girl

My mom and Ashlynn- the flower-girl-in-training!

Her bow cracks me up! We have nicknamed it a "tumor bow"

Walkin down the hill to the chapel!

I love this picture!

Everyone's dancing up a storm!

So, those pretty much capture the whole day. Should be getting the professional pictures here in a few weeks so stay tuned for more!

The Day After

Still down here in Tennessee for a couple more nights, but I wanted to post a couple of pictures from the day after the wedding...





Wedding day pictures to come once I get home and can get all of them from everyone...
