Our Fairytale Told in Pictures

Happy Monday! This day in particular has extra special meaning for us. It is officially our one-year anniversary. Today we reminisce on one of the best days of our lives. These pictures bring us such joy because they represent the day that we finally committed the rest of our lives to each other. It has been the greatest year of my life, and I am convinced I have the greatest man as my husband whom I continually fall more in love with each day. He also leads me to fall more in love with Jesus each day above all else. Marriage is not always easy, it is not always simple, but it has been the greatest blessing of my life. 

We would also like to thank our family and friends who have always supported our relationship and helped make this day so special for us. We love you!

Here is our wedding as told through pictures 🙂 Below are videos of our trailer and our surprise bridesmaid dance. Enjoy!

Wishing you a lifetime of 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7,

xo <3

We exchanged notes before the wedding. Of course, I could not let him see me before the big walk down the aisle! I gave DJ a journal I had been writing in for the past year of our memories together.

    Loved it completely and you absolutely look like a princess. Wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

        God bless you both(I was in tears watching your pictures & the video). Lots of happiness to both of you💞

  8. Your wedding in the definition of wedding goals, like this is a dream wedding that I pin on Pinterest that I hope someday will come true. So glad you shared your special day, in hopes that one day too I will have mine also that looks just as great as yours

    1. Ok- that is like the BIGGEST compliment someone could give me of all time!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Wanna know a secret?! It was mostly from thrift stores and Goodwill!

      1. Ooppsss..I made a mistake by saying it’s the same day she was born…it was Aug 8, 2011. Lol! But yeah, it’s one of the happiest moments of my life! 😊

  9. So beautiful I cried! This was my favorite thing you said: “He also leads me to fall more in love with Jesus each day above all else.” I love your photos and video.

    1. AWWWWWWW! This post has been so quiet for a while, thank you for taking the time to share in our big day with us 🙂 Our anniversary is sneaking up on us here, so it was fun going back through these pictures just now. <3 You're the sweetest, Kristin!

  10. I’m late to the party (har har) but I finally looked through your wedding posts & OHH MEEE GEEE you were a stunning bride!!! I LOVE your wedding colors and the guys suits. So unique but everything also had that classic, timeless vibe. Your photos are beyond gorgeous & what a beautiful wedding video sneak peek. I have always appreciated weddings and such but after planning my own, I have a much greater appreciation for just how much effort and hard work goes into the big day, and you both nailed it. <3

    1. Awww thank you, Stephanie!! This is so kind of you- I will forever treasure my sister’s speech. She is getting married this summer and I keep saying I have no idea how I will ever write a speech to add up. Thank you, thank you for your sweet words!

      1. It was one of the best speeches, I’m sure you’ll find your words to express! My sister is also getting married this summer so I need to start working on a speech too, haha. Good luck with your speech!

      2. Aw yay we are in the same boat!!! congrats to your sister too. Have a great day, Stephanie!<3 <3
