6 years

Six years ago today I married the most wonderful man!!  

We got married in Omaha, Nebraska, we had fun celebrating with family all weekend long.  

On the 30th of June As a surprise my parents rented "Ollie the Trolley" for all the family that was in town.  
We began our journey by going around town in 
"Ollie" , we started at the hotel, then went by midtown, downtown, until we got down to the Old Market.   We also celebrated
my birthday and M's "Golden" birthday. 
 (A golden birthday is when you turn the same age as the day your birthday is on...I had not heard the term until I went to college in Minnesota).  
At Conagra
On July 1st we began to decorate the church...
why I thought I needed over 100 handmade bows and more than 50 candelabras...
I don't know but I NEEDED them at the time. 
 Also two of Mom's friends graciously volunteered to host a bridesmaids luncheon.  It was a lot of fun to hang out with the girls and family before all of the festivities officially began.  We then had our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

At the rehearsal dinner, my mom had cross-stitched this for Matt and I
The BIG day..me and my bridesmaids went to get our hair done together.  We then made it to the church to get all of our pictures started.  
The ceremony then began...we had a wonderful string quartet, 4 candle lighters, 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen, 2 flower girls,and one ring bearer.  
After the wedding the bridal party went to a park before we made our entrance at the reception.  
My grandma, aunt, and cousin made our cake (see picture below).  We had a fun time dancing the night away.

On the 3rd, family and friends were invited out to the farm to watch us open our gifts (since our families lived far away).  We had a brunch. It was a beautiful day.

With our photo package we had an extra day of pictures
M, you are the most wonderful man.  
I appreciate where we have come from to form our own family...
Love you!!!
