I am so glad that the wedding is over. I enjoyed the planning and the event, but I really just wanted to get it over with and have the memories. My wedding was absolutely beautiful. Never in a million years would I have dreamed about actually having my dream wedding. I knew that it would be nice, but never anything that would have taken my breath away. Through the love and care of many MANY people, the wedding was wonderful. We had people letting us borrow things and working night and day to make it a special day for us. While the rooms were wonderful, the true beauty was due to the fact that people were helping us that had no reason to. They must have seen the desperate looks in my eyes. By the wedding day, I did not want to answer anymore pointless questions. I didn't care if the grandmothers started walking down the aisle 3 minutes after 3!!! I truly enjoyed spending time with my family. I didn't get to spend as much time with the out of towners as I would have liked, but it was special just the same. Andrew was able to spend time with Chris Moser and Dan. I wished we could live closer to both of those guys.
I wished that my wedding day wasn't so rushed, and I didn't get all the pictures that I wanted. But at the end of the day, those were the only negative things that occurred. Andrew and I chose to see each other before the wedding. I was so thankful for that. The whole wedding party had fun hanging out and taking pictures before the wedding. Seeing Andrew really calmed my nerves. I am extremely thankful that I was able to seen Andrew's expression the first time he saw me up close instead of down an aisle. We had so much fun at the reception that we almost forgot to toss the bouquet and garter. We also had to leave earlier than what we wanted to because we wanted people to still be there to throw birdseed at us. We had a wonderful honeymoon in Gatlinburg. I am so glad that we are back to work and trying to get a sense of normalcy. I love being Mrs. Hampton!!
