Wedding of the Century!

This past Saturday, January 8th, Aaron and I were married at the Savage Mill Manor in Savage, Maryland. It was such a fun special day, with all of our family and closest friends there to celebrate. It went off without any major mishaps, even the flower girl cooperated! (We were expecting at least a small tantrum)

We don't have the pictures from the photographer in yet (I'll put those up later), but here are some of the pictures our family and friends took:

After almost 2 hours of hair and makeup (done by my amazingly talented friend Melissa that I've known for almost 15 years) we were ready for the ceremony to start.

My little brother Joe was sweet enough to walk me down the aisle (though we both had no clue which side he was supposed to walk on and what the heck he was supposed to do once we got up there!) The ceremony was short and sweet, and then we moved on to the important part... FOOD!

We had our families and closest friends from work, school, and everywhere else to celebrate with us. They seemed to really like the food, it was almost all gone when we came in after taking pictures! We ate and mingled for a little bit, and then our niece and nephew decided that it was time to dance!

Natalie is in a "princess dress" phase, I think that's the only reason she cooperated as our flower girl. She made me dance with her for a long while, so we could twirl our "princess dresses" together.

Eventually Aaron came over and danced with me too :)

The bouquet was thrown...

The garter was... retrieved...

And the cake was cut. It was such a beautiful, special day and we were so glad to have all of our family and friends there to celebrate with us.

After all of the festivities we headed off in our decorated car to Ellicott City for our overnight honeymoon. We stayed in a super fun B&B after going out to a fancy dinner in Baltimore. I'm currently sitting at our dining room table, with my best friend in the whole wide world sitting across from me. We are loving married life, and so happy that our paths crossed and came together! We are looking forward to many years together and all of the excitement that life has to bring us!

The professional pictures from our photographer and friend Jenni will be up as soon as they come in! :) Thanks to everyone who was able to come out for our day, and we missed all of our friends who live too far to have made it!
