I wish that I had the time, and I hope to one day get to write down the exact words that were exchanged between everyone during the ceremony at our wedding, but for now I am just going to to the overall recap. Kevin was raised Catholic, and I was raised Christian (not that there is really that much of a difference between the two of us) but we knew that we wanted to do a mixed ceremony, by having a Priest and Pastor marry us. My Uncle, who works at the Church we got married at, married us as well as Father Ron, who actually was a coach on Kevin's football team when he played at our Community College.
Our ceremony was very traditional, as we are a very traditional couple. I would say we are old fashioned and traditional which are almost the same thing. We wanted all the traditional vows said, we didn't want to write out own. How cool is it to say the same thing that SO many amazing couples before you have said. Our parents, grandparents, great grandparents and many others.
Here is our ceremony in pictures. I figure this will be the best way to recap it.

Here we go... |

Trying so hard not to cry.. but the tears are just coming out. This was by far the best moment of our wedding, see Kevin waiting for me at the end of the isle, waiting for us to become husband and wife. No moment will ever compare. |

Love this photo, Maid of Honor W is wiping her tears on the stage, and I love being able to see Kevin's face. |
|
We had group hugs and individual hugs before Kevin and I walked up to the stage. Our parents are the one who got us to this point in our lives, and we wanted to thank them for that. |
We had our grandparents walk down the isle first, then our parents. Then our 8 pairs of bridesmaids and groomsmen. I loved everyone of them, but waiting in the back for all of the bridal party to walk down the isle was crazy! I couldn't wait to see my handsome groom waiting for me, and it just seemed to take forever!
