Block Went Gray

For those of you who were completely devastated that you missed the wedding of the century click here.

If you notice, our wedding isn't in the top choices on YouTube. So maybe it wasn't quite the wedding of the century, but we thought it was a hell of a good party. We had picked October because we wanted a fall wedding. It didn't work out that way, but the sun was shining and there was no rain in the forecast. It was also a high of 86. We all were sweating. And oh my lord wedding gowns are hot!

So very thankful for air conditioning and the paper fans my sister suggested us getting.

We kicked off the morning with a group of friends to run a 5k. Bowie and I totally podiumed in the "getting married today" grouping. We were thrilled that so many of our friends and family came out to support our crazy idea.

Then the bridal party headed over to Sister Wife's apartment for showers and food and then to get beautified at Voila Salon. 

We did most of our formal pictures before hand and a staged first look for B...I think he liked what he saw....

Then the ceremony happened (If you have a spare 30 minutes and care to click, Rich Reed did an amazing job of pulling this together. CLICK HERE for our wedding ceremony)

B's friends and my sister-in-law cranked out the tunes. Can't thank them enough for doing this for us. Our wedding was very much a family affair as my brother was our officiant.

My bridesmaids were rockstars! Asharp kept it together almost the entire day long into the evening. My friends are just wonderful. My niece's beauty is only exceeded by her genuineness. She is my original and forever mini-me. She HAND BEADED my veil over her fall break because the string of beads just wouldn't look nice enough. I am so thankful all of these wonderful girls were a part of our day. My sister was the unsung hero of the weekend. She herded the bonus kids, thought of last minute details, and labeled our cookie bar.

Not only was my wedding gown freaking heavy, it caught on everything. But hey, I always love a close moment with a good friend!

B and I danced to Are You Going to Kiss Me or What? It seemed appropriate after B would have friend-zoned himself on date three if not for this question.

And the DJ played the Hora and there were not enough Jews in the room, but the few were strong and encouraging and no one was dropped.

When it was all said and done, we were Mr. and Mrs. Gray. If I had to do it all again, I wouldn't. We would elope!!!
