3 years!!

So today is our 3rd wedding anniversary, and I decided it would be a good time to take a quick little trip down memory lane with some pictures. Sam has been gone at Camp Lu Jo all week, so I've been reliving our wedding day on my own today with the pictures I've collected from friends who had cameras on our wedding day! (I'm still waiting to get our "official" wedding pictures back from our photographer...I accidentally waited almost 3 years to order them!)

This is one of my favorite pictures from the whole "decorating" process. My brothers, Cody & Corey, making BRIGHT pink bows out of fluffy tulle onto the back of the chairs in Fellowship Central. As you can see, Corey is learning a lot from Cody's tying method.

Here is a (somewhat blurry) picture of the room after we were completely done decorating. I was so happy with the way everything looked--it was definitely worth all the hard work!

This is a picture of the candy table from the reception. We had lots of parents come up to us right before we left thanking us for allowing their children the opportunity to fill up COMPLETELY on sugar at the dessert reception!

Here's a picture of our lovely cakes. I still think the Italian Cream flavor of my cake was the BEST wedding cake I've ever had. I know I'm a little bit biased, but it was G-O-O-D. Take note of the dark chocolate fondant squares all over Sam's baseball cake for a story in few pictures...

Here is a picture of me, my beautiful mom, and her gorgeous dress that took her up until the week before the wedding to find. (Talk about adding stress to the bride!! :))

Me and my bestest friends in the whole world, Amber & Marie. Love you girls!!

Okay, so apparently this is one of the only pictures I have of me and Sam together from our wedding day that was not taken by the professional photographer. If anyone else has pictures from a regular camera from our wedding, please send them to me. I'll love you forever! And I'm not quite sure what Sam is whispering to me in this picture, but I think it was something along the lines of, "I'm sorry that I chose to feed you a piece of FONDANT instead of actual cake for the 'cutting the cake' picture!" I tried really hard not to make a gagging face in those pictures! :)

I think next time I'm going to post the comments UNDER the picture for less confusion, but hopefully you can see which picture goes with which comment. I can't figure out how to cut & paste to rearrange this post without deleting everything, and if that happened, I'd probably be done blogging for the rest of my days. I'm going out to visit my sweet hubby at camp tonight--it's been an AMAZING 3 years and I can't wait for MANY MANY MANY more to come!!
