Flashback Fridays . . .Our Wedding (Getting Ready / The Ceremony)

I decided to pick up where I left off on my flashback Friday posts.  Since I print off my blog each year, I want to have all the pics in it from before I started blogging.  My last flashback Friday post (from last year) was our rehearsal dinner, so now it's time for wedding pics.  I have sooo many wedding pics that I love, I decided to split our wedding up into 2 posts - getting ready / the ceremony and the reception. 

We got married on March 29, 2008.  It seems like so long ago now.  Everyone kept telling me the day flies by, so I remember trying my best to just soak it all in and remember as much as possible about the day.  It started off cloudy and drizzly that morning, but by the afternoon it had all cleared up.

Me and several of my bridesmaids had hair appointments that morning.  After getting our hair done, we headed over to my parents house to get ready.  I had all my bridesmaids / flower girls come over there.  It was fun being able to get ready with all of them.

My flower girls (my cousins) - Olivia and Katie (they both read my blog)  :)  They look so little in these pics!

Shawn and his groomsmen got ready at a hotel downtown and then headed over to the church.

We got married in Perkins Chapel on the SMU campus.  It's such a pretty chapel.

Shawn and I decided to see each other for the first time before the ceremony.  It was just us and the photographer.  I get so nervous that I needed this moment to be private to help ease my nerves.  Plus we wanted to be able to get some of our pictures done before the ceremony.  The moment was perfect and I'm so glad this was the way we did it.
