So we got to the church and because the guys were all welcoming our guests, we gals went into the side room of the church and waited for everything to get started!

The church!

The girls helping me out of my shoes while we waited

My girls!

One of my best friend's brothers played the piano at the ceremony, it was amazing!
Scott did the most AMAZING job! 
I could not have asked for more!

I walked down the isle to "You Look Wonderful Tonight" Eric Clapton
And at the end, we walked out to "500 Miles" The Proclaimers!
Yes! He played 500 Miles on the piano! It was phenomenal! 

My handsome honey!!
I had both of my parents walk me down - it was so special!
Yes, I made this face...!
We had three passages read during the ceremony
One of my best friends from college read 1 Corinthians 12: 31, 12:8a from the New Testament
And Rich's cousin read Song of Songs 2: 8-10, 14, 16a, 8: 6-7a from the Old Testament
Father John read Mark 10: 6-9 from the Gospel

I love this picture!

One of the most popular photos of the evening!
After we walked down the isle, we stood in the entrance and greeted all of our guests. It was so wonderful!
Once the guests left and headed to the reception site, the bridal party stuck around and we took some pictures then headed to the reception sites to take pictures and get our party on!
