Our Wedding

So Ryan and I got married on September 22nd, 2007 at the church that I grew up in, by the our former pastor, Brad Bradshaw...who is much more like family than anything else. He is also the man who married my mom and dad, so it was very important to me that he be the person to marry Ryan and I. Our wedding truly turned out beautiful! The ceremony was at the Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church and reception followed it at the Oceanfront Trellis located at the Sea Ranch Hotel. The theme of our reception was "A Tour Of the Outer Banks" and every decoration had some element that tied into the theme. We where fortunate enough to have so many people volunteer to help make our day everything that we wanted and more. Our tables where decorated with hand-cut and painted centerpieces that where in the shapes of various OBX landmarks (all of the lighthouses, the Wright Brother's Monument, and even our table...the East Carolina "PeeDee the Pirate"!!!!!). Our favors where not only the traditional bubbles, but also various flavors of salt water taffy..yum. There where of course some technical difficulties that occured during the day, but fortunately none of our guests would have ever known.

We do want to thank everyone again, that came and where there to help celebrate in our special day and say that whoever couldn't make it...that you where missed. We also wanted to recognize those loved ones (2 family members and 1 very close and dear friend of ours) that where sadly taken from us shortly before our wedding. We know that they where with us in spirit though!

Here are some pictures from the day.



As my mom said...in true beach girl fashion!
