The Reception...


Savannah bought us this cute little chalkboard to write each other little notes!

Our card table...
(Mom, Savannah and Jordan put together all of the bouquets that were on the tables using the leftover flowers from my bouquet and flowers that were around the farm.  They did an excellent job!)




Dessert table

Food table
(All of our guests did a wonderfully, delicious job of helping supply the food for the picnic!  There was a ton of food.  Thanks everybody!)



Matthew's dulcimer, set up and ready to play.


Matthew's little brother.  I think he was imagining the kiss.  -big, cheesy grin-

Coming down to greet the guests as Mr. & Mrs.!

Very, very happy couple!


Our first kiss for the photographer.


Dad announcing us...

...here we come...

...husband and wife!

Our audience, ready and waiting to see the first public kiss.


Matthew had wanted to dip me to kiss me for the first time, so we practiced once upstairs and it went really smooth.  But when we got out in front of everybody, it was less than picturesque!  But boy, was it fun!  It had us laughing till we were red in the face!



And we had our guests laughing too!


The second dip kiss looked a little better!



Dad, praying for our meal...



Sweet tenderness...<3 p="">

  3. Wow, Kelsey, your ring is lovely. I was so surprised that from the side it makes a perfect ichthys with a heart for the eye! Did Matthew design it like that? Both of you have many, many gifts. Blessed couple.

    1. Yes, Matthew picked out several of the features that he wanted on the ring. He picked out the weave, then asked for yellow gold instead of white gold, and then asked them to change it to a heart shaped diamond. I think it's the most beautiful ring I've ever seen!
