Our Vows

I was going to type in our vows but as I was looking at our copies, I just had to scan them in, there are some really adorable and revealing details that I just can't type. So here they are in all their glory, scribbled, stained with what I can only call party juice, folded in twenty-thirds, wrung out, and magical.

The word "marriage" is emphasized because he actually said it like The Princess Bride priest...everyone laughed even if they didn't know what they were laughing at. He committed to it and it definitely payed off.

Look at these notes I found on the other side of the paper...
nose?! he said he was trying to find ways to subtly embarrass me ...lol, good luck.

I had written mine at work, copied them to my iphone and decided last minute, as my hair was being done to write them onto some of Elle's note cards because the girls suggested I might not want to read them from the phone in case it rang...that's what girls are for, right?
You know I had to quote the JB...
 
 
if you're paying attention, (you're already doing better than I was) you'll notice I copied the same line twice above. Jason noticed me pausing to correct it and mentioned it later...did anyone else?
 
I did it again here but caught myself and crossed it out. 
"maybe go camping with you" was a small hit

 And to think he was nervous...

Listen...

We received so many compliments on the music at our wedding ceremony so I thought I'd share with you the playlist. A couple of weeks before the wedding, we started pulling random wedding movie quotes from the back of our heads. Without a doubt, the one that meant the most to us was this scene:


Therefore, the wedding playlist is entitled:

Our DJ did a great job. It was like my guests didn't even need to wait for the electric slide song to play. They just broke out in line dances immediately and continued to do them all night long, no matter what song was playing. So even if I had told the DJ no line dances, (which I would never do) I would have been out of luck.
I love my guests...
