Our wedding was perfect, in a word.
It was everything that I wanted it to be: simple, elegant, and easy; and on top of that, we had the MOST gorgeous day in March. All week it rained, but on Saturday, the weather was to die for.
Everyone says that something will go wrong on your wedding day. Luckily, or oddly enough, nothing went wrong...the only thing that I remember going wrong happened the night before at our rehearsal dinner: I forgot my cell phone in my hotel room.
It was like I was completely lost.
We ended up getting it (thanks to my BFF, Colleen and her husband, Tyler!) and everything went fine, but honestly, that was the only stress I had all weekend!
Planning our wedding was a breeze. Honestly, I planned most of it the month after we got engaged and after that, I only had a few minor things to work on here and there. I knew what vendors I wanted to work with, I knew how I wanted things to look, and I knew all of the work I needed to do.
I've planned weddings for friends in the past, so doing my own was a walk in the park!
Friends and family kept asking what they could do to help and were confused when I said I didn't think I needed any help...on top of planning our wedding, I was also in the middle of planning a huge fundraiser, selling my house, moving, and trying to find a new job. So I had a few things on my plate to say the least!
Luckily, all of the vendors that I chose to work with made our day super easy!
So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite wedding pictures!
Skyline salon is amazing. Not only is the location and view awesome, but the staff is so great. We brought in mimosa's that morning and then they served us lunch all while getting primped and pampered.

| Lincoln sent me my favorite, an edible arrangement to snack on while we were getting ready! |
The view while you're getting your hair done...(oh, and those are my shoes)
The Old Mission Church in Fairway that we got married at was BEAUTIFUL
Our first look :)

| I think we had the best looking wedding party ever. Duh. |
 |

My Besties from Grade School (and before!) that helped me on the day of the wedding (and before!)
My other BFF's from college!
Our rings. Just hangin' out on a tree branch.
My dad walking me down the aisle.
This would be where I didn't hear the minister whisper that we were supposed to kiss...so I just stood there like a dork while Lincoln was waiting for me to give him a smooch. Oh well, it made for some laughs during the ceremony!
Our sweet ride...
Our florist was amazing. She not only captured what I wanted the reception site to look like to a T, but she flew in peonies from another country so that I would have some for my bouquet. I can not say enough good stuff about Rosemary at Final Touch Studios!
You guys, the food at our reception was SO GOOD. Californos knows how to throw a party. All of our guests for days and weeks after our reception keep talking about how good the food was. One friend had five plates. Yes, it's a guy, and he's also super skinny. It's not fair.
We had a photo booth that produced some hilarious pictures and a table set up with pictures from pretty much all of our immediate families weddings.
One of my BFF's, Monica made our delicious cake!
We're married!
The Mikey Needleman Band performed at the reception; if you're in the KC area you HAVE to book them. They're so fun!
Lincoln's dad busted some moves on the dance floor with the grand kids!
My mom tore up the dance floor, too.
And then I rapped to Vanilla Ice on the microphone
If you've followed my blog for awhile, you'll know that getting a microphone at a wedding is pretty common for me, remember?!
Theta sisters!
My most favorite picture of the whole wedding:
I guess he didn't like the champagne?
Finally, last but not least, our AMAZING photographer Amanda Eaton of Amanda Eaton Photography was so great to work with. She captured every inch of our day and I couldn't have been more pleased with our wedding pictures. Seriously, if you're looking for a photographer, you must look her up!
