    We did it! After nearly 2 years of immigrations stuff, planning, and DIYing, we finally tied the knot. The wedding was fantastic, and since you all helped me so much throughout the process, it's time for recaps. The photographer didn't get half the pictures we wanted of all the details we spent so much time making, but you'll get the gist. First up, here are our decorations and general setup.

    Ceremony: (we used wood from his dad's farm and had the gazebo built!)

    Thanks! We had to move the spot 4 times, because they kept building houses where we wanted to get married!

    My dreaaaam wedding.  You look great and the pics are so nice.  The weather looked amazing...I can just feel the breeze!!  FI and I were planning a tropical destination wedding in Jamaica until his mom got all sad and was so hurt.  So now we're doing a local wedding.  Which I'm sure will be awesome.  Anyyyyyway....*Sigh*.

    Thanks so much! So many small things didn't go as planned, and even though I know we're the only ones who noticed, it's so wonderful hearing your comments!
