Wedding Part 4: The Ceremony

I'm going to dive right into the wedding ceremony. I have quite a few portraits that were taken before the wedding, but I'm not sure if I'm going to post them (maybe a few)....

They both looked so handsome!

 My 3 flower girls.

 Melaina

 Thanks to Molly for making the adorable wreaths for the flower girls' hair. She was hot-gluing it up just days before the wedding to get these perfect!

Mia

 I was so blessed to have the man that did my baby dedication marry us!

Looks like the Father of the Groom was ready to get the show on the road :)

THE CEREMONY

Reuben's Mom

My Mom

We all lined up to head down the aisle. You can't seee it but my bridesmaids were ahead of me :)

My friend Stephanie came all the way from CA to be in my wedding :) I'm going to be a bridesmaid in her's in Nov - so excited

My friend Molly (who I go to grad school with) came up with me from Tally. She was there helping me a whole week before the wedding! She was Ms. Crafty.

Sarah came from Pensacola, FL. I was also in her wedding.

My older sister Rachel

My younger sister Anna. She was such a big help!

My matron of honor - Becky.

Molly totally posed for the camera lol

Here comes the bride!

I was totally trying to keep it together so that I didn't have a bunch of crying photos, but I only slightly succeeded. At least the far away pictures you can't tell lol.

I think Reuby was happy to see me. Not sure what Riley's face was for lol.

Although I am the 3rd daughter, I am the first that my Dad got to walk down the aisle. I think it meant just as much to him as it did to me :)

I think we had the whole "stare into each other's eyes" down pat for the ceremony

I think the flower girls were a little bored, but they did really good!!!

One of my favorite parts of the ceremony - when our parents prayed over us and blessed us!

About to say "kiss the bride" - clearly I wasn't excited at all!

Look at Anna's face lol.

THE KISS!!!!!!

 

The new Mr. and Mrs. REUBEN Cope!

I believe the recession music was "kiss the girl" by Colbie Caillat! So perfect :)

Had to steal another kiss before we headed out to hug our guests!

I'm going to skip all the hugging pictures. I also will probably skip a lot of the portraits too. Maybe in the future I will do a post about them. But next up, I'm going to do the fun ones - the reception!
