My Wedding Day

On October 12, 2013, I married the most amazing person I've ever known.  It was an emotion filled day with lots of love and laughter. 

I started out with plans for a nice size wedding complete with a Pinterest board to lead the way.  About 3 months into the planning part, we called off the large wedding and decided that we only wanted a small ceremony with only the people closest to us.  Let me say that this was the BEST decision we've ever made. As soon as the decision was final, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.  My fiance and I never looked back.

After a proposal in May in the pouring rain, I knew without a doubt that the wedding day would bring rain as well. It rained and it was perfect.  What may be even more perfect is someone told me that 
-"A wet knot doesn't come undone.".
I had never heard this before and I think it's precious. I would like to share with you some pictures of my perfect day that my talented photographer and friend captured.
