We Will {Never} Forget...
I Stand Before You
I stand before you all today
But not one eye can see my way
My time arrived, to leave this earth
A fact so planned, to every birth
It happened where I had to go
My torch for life was so aglow
I transferred while in uniform
Protecting freedom, through a storm
Should I resent I died for you
Not on my life, red white and blue
Please help my family through each day
Tell all my friends, try not to stray
And of the country I did love
Do think of me, through God above
Your memories, brought forth this day
Send love to us, who could not stay

A very special thank you to all the service men and women who have fought for our country and freedom. Today is more than a 3-day weekend or time for great sales... it's far bigger than any one of us.

Our {Perfect} Day!
Justin, my parents, and I were reminiscing about our wedding tonight at dinner and it made me miss the day and remember the complete perfection of that day. It was truly wonderful - I wish we could relive it over and over again! Here are some of my favorite pictures of the day ...
My vision for the flowers was: A Huge Bouquet of White & Red Roses. Accomplished.
My handsome groom!
My vision for my dress: Princess Diana ... I am still completely fascinated with my dress. I wish I could wear it more!
I wanted the programs to be like a book, so they were made out of really thick, cardboard type paper.
This tree is magnificent.
I loved our cake. My vision on this was: extravagance. Accomplished.
Sees candies filled our pinstriped favor boxes! [Daddy's favorite candy]
I heard the food was delicious... unfortunately, I don't remember eating any of it.
Custom champagne glasses: "On this day, I married my best friend."
The photobooth was a HIT!
I was obsessed with my hair. I was so happy with how it turned out!
Champagne toast after Daddy's speech. Each glass was filled with a Wild Hibiscus.
Daddy's speech - perfect! Funny, yet very touching.
... and last but not least, the grand finale of the day...
Fireworks, timed perfectly to explode once during the peak of our first dance song [Only Hope-performed acoustically by a professional] and then a grand finale of fireworks right at the end of the song. A surprise for our guests... and the surrounding area homeowners!
Sigh! what a perfect day it was!
{Happy} Weekend!
on the agenda:
+ LONG weekend!! Yay!
+ I am at war with my closet, which means we will be doing a shopping trip this weekend!
