Wedding planning was fun! Its always fun planning a wedding when the United States Military is involved!! And when I say fun I mean its a terrible idea!! lol We originally planned for October 15, 2011 then Jon said that there was a possiblity that he would be out of town around that time and you cant have a wedding without a groom! So we racked our brains and the wedding date just kind of lagged for quite some time...secretly I was certainly hoping that October would somehow work out!! So Jon went back out to sea in December and I atleast continued planning things you could do without a wedding date and we tentatively planned the things you did need a date for! So planning was going pretty good for the most part...In an email I got from Jon he suggested maybe picking a date sometime in July! But my Mom definitely didnt want me to do it then...(Moms lol) It definitely would have been ideal looking back on it now but we then figured we could do August 6. I told Jon about it and he said it sounded good but then kind of took it back saying he honestly had nooo idea when we would be able to get married! Definitely doesnt make wedding planning fun! So I changed all of the dates to August 6 just to make sure if the date stuck, we could have somethings...especially a venue! The guys got home in May and we were FINALLY able to nail down the August 6 was going be our wedding date in June! We had 9 weeks to finish planning this wedding! You would think it was a 9 week period of madness but luckily it wasnt! Everything went smoothly, we had a few AHHH moments but luckily we were able to quickly and easily fix them....
The week of the wedding came and everything was coming together awesomely! We handmade our wedding favors so we were finishing those and just getting things ready! The day before the wedding, August 5, we went and got our nails done and got things set up at the church for wedding and reception! All family came into town and it was just a great day of fellowship and hanging out the day before our wedding!
DAY OF WEDDING:: 3pm came so quickly! Makeup and hair were done, pictures were mostly done and it came time to walk down the isle to marry my best friend! I wont forget the way Jon kept staring at me and the whole day he wouldnt stop telling me how beautiful I was!
It was an amazinggg dayy!! We both has so much fun together and with our friends and family! I dont think the day could have been more amazing! We have a lot of great laughs and dancing all together! The cakes made by Monica Slegers were AMAZING and Jon's Corvette cake which was his grooms cake was AWESOME! (and delicious)
We spent the night at the Wydham hotel downtown...it was a good night ;) We got up and had breakfast with our families together!!!! and said our goodbyes before heading back to our home here in St. Marys, GA!!
It was definitely a day that will never be forgotten <3
