Bride before the wedding

Most of these don't require too much commentary...but I'll at least label who is in the pictures for those of you who don't know.

The day started early. I was up at 6am. After visiting with some friends who stayed with me the night before, I got my hair and make-up done. Big thank you to Susanna and Beka for doing my hair for me!! I loved it! I put my dress on shortly after 9 and the day had officially started! :-)

Sarah, Kerry, and me.

My mama and me.

Internet!!

Hooray!!...We again have easy access to the internet, so Lord willing our blog posts will return on a more regular basis. I will try to make several posts of wedding pictures for those who were unable to attend. Today's post will be focused on rehearsal pictures.

We first met at the church to "practice" for the ceremony, then headed out to dinner. The rehearsal dinner was at a place called Jacks. It was delicious food and the desserts were enough to make you speechless. Cheesecake or sorbet...whatever was chosen, I didn't hear anyone complain. Thank you Mom and Dad York for a wonderful meal!!

We were so blessed to have Uncle Dickie and Aunt Charlotte with us. They made the long trip from Texas to share the day with us and we are so thankful for them.

I'm not quite sure what was so funny here...but Micha was a junior bridesmaid and seemed to really enjoy it. She has definitely grown up in the last few years.

Hannah is happy to cuddle with anyone after she wakes up from a nap. This time it happened to be John, a good friend of ours, who was also a groomsman.

Jeff and Tracy Zimmerman were able to enjoy dinner without the kids for a night. Jeff and George have been friends since sixth grade.

Kerry (on the left) and I have been friends since 1st grade and her parents are like second parents to me. Kerry's husband, Dan, is at the end of the table. They are in the process of moving to Florida this week. Needless to say, I already miss them.

We're home!!

We arrived back from our honeymoon on Thursday late evening and have spent the last few days trying to get in some sort of routine and get ready to get back to work tomorrow. I don't know how ready we are but ready or not ... tomorrow is Monday!

We had a wonderful time and there is no way we could possibly thank everyone who contributed to our special day. We will write more later, and post pictures, but right now we don't have internet access at home (thank you Ben and Julie for letting us use yours), but we wanted everyone to know we were home. We love you!

Last post...for awhile...

We are down to two days. I am off work today and tomorrow to prepare. There have been many things I've wanted to blog about, but just haven't had the time this week. George is due to fly back today, and will Lord willing land tonight at midnight. I arrived at my parent mid-evening last night and we did a few things at the church. Today will be a full day and tomorrow even fuller. We appreciate your prayers over the next few days. The weather a week ago was anticipating at 55 degree day...we're down to 35 now...but despite the weather, I'm sure it will be a wonderful day. We look forward to seeing everyone Saturday and those who are not able to come...we will give a full report once we return from our honeymoon.
