9.10.11. The day that changed our lives forever!

For almost a year we've been planning our wedding. Every last detail was meticulously planned and it was absolutely amazing. We were honored to have Drew’s father, Rex Haymaker, as our officiant. Family tradition has always been very important to Drew and me. We incorporated many sentimental details into the wedding. I wore my mother’s veil during the ceremony and my sister’s veil during the reception. I wore the garter that my mother & sister wore. I also wore the garter that Drew caught at our friend’s wedding just months before we were engaged! The kneeling bench we used in the ceremony was needle pointed by my grandmother, Mattie Mae Ingram, and I wore the necklace and earrings that belonged to my other grandmother, Katherine Biddinger. I also wore a gold bracelet that several generations of women in my family have worn at their weddings. My very favorite detail of the entire wedding is now worn on Drew’s left hand. My family graciously allowed me to give Drew my maternal grandfather’s ring. Engraved on the inside is my grandfather’s initials and his wedding date and Drew’s initials and our wedding date… “WEI 10-24-38 DEH 9-10-11.”

Enjoy the pictures!!

Wedding Weekend!!

I can't believe it's been 3 months since the wedding! I have been going through the 1,000+ wedding photos and have finally selected some for the blog! Enjoy!!

On Thursday 9-8-11, we had dinner at Kyle's with our out-of-town family and friends from Montana, The Kellogg's. The weekend was such a blur, so we greatly appreciated the time with my aunts, uncles and cousins. It was also a special treat to spend time with the Kellogg's!

Drew & I were the first to arrive. This was probably the last "calm" moment we had together until Sunday!!

Mom and the Kellogg's have arrived!

Drew needed help cutting his giant chicken fried steak- Thanks, Jan!!

Such an honor to have my dad's family here for the wedding! Thanks fam!!
