Hi everyone!! In honor of our almost 3 month anniversary here are our some of our wedding pictures from the ceremony. Our photographers were AMAZING! We had over 3,000 pictures so I chose my favorites and apologize you wont be able to see them all. It took me over 3 weeks non stop to sort through them and put them in order. I hope you enjoy! :)
At the salon getting my hair pulled out. The phrase "I'm extremely tender headed and that hurts me tremendously" doesn't mean a thing. But hey, at least it looked pretty for 2 hours out of the 12. I blame the rain.
This is my natural curl before it was even touched. I kind of wish I left it natural.

LOVED the stunning train!
Front of my dress! I love the design and intricate detail of the dress and location of the picture!
Third dress I tried on and I knew immediately.
Alterations at Sandra G's up in Knoxville and customized a little present for us in the dress.
My garter made by Gigi and toss garter.
Mom helping me get ready, meticulously making sure every detail of my dress was just right! Thank you mom! (Dressed at Nana's)
Once I arrived at the church It was time for the first look. I'm sneaking up behind Cody :)
The joy that was in his eyes when he finally got to see his bride. Cody told me the dress was prettier than he could have even imagined (I was so worried he wouldn't like it) and I was the prettiest bride he had ever seen (made me melt!!)
My whole heart was complete. When you finally get to hug your groom who will be your husband in less than 3 1/2 hours.
Picture session before the ceremony!
I smile because I know I have it all
My stunning bouquet!
My church home, Ebenezer United Methodist Church
Sign-in table with beautiful snap dragons and a south-paw signing in. 
Our wedding programs that Gigi and I made! Loved them!
Prayer bowl!
Beautiful communion/offering table set up for the service. I am very traditional and love the symbolism of many things. Especially the unity candle instead of sand etc.
So many people I wanted to be there but could only watch from heaven. We love you and always remember and miss you!
So incredibly symbolic!
So incredibly symbolic!

EVERYONE! It was very important to me to get a shot like this. These are the people right here that care the absolute most about Cody and I. Who guide us and support us and love us no matter what! That is family. I love all of these people with all of my heart.
Waiting in the secluded room with my dad, wedding day coordinator, bridesmaids, and flower girl. Nerves were real (good nerves) and the butterflies in my stomach were flying!
The procession began with Nana Wamack (Raborn side).
Nana Dyar and Nathan Dyar
Gigi and Charlie Becker
My mother-in-law and Cody, it was such an honor for him to be able to walk his mom down the aisle!
Charlie and my beautiful mom!
Our sweet sweet pastor and officiant, Reverend Ann Robins.
4th bridesmaid Katy Becker my cousin
3rd Bridesmaid Mary Evelyn Owens my third cousin on my Nana's side.
2nd bridesmaid Hannah Becker my cousin
And Maid of Honor Morgan Dyar my sister!
Ada Becker my flower girl and cousin. Charlie brown the horse is what her and I have been playing with together since she was one years old. We feed him and play horse games. We both love horses and are a lot alike. So it would make sense for Charlie Brown to make an appearance at the wedding! She even made a gorgeous bow-tie for him!
My nephew Kaden (on Cody's side) was our ring bearer and did amazing!
And finally, my dad and I walking down the aisle to my future.
The first official look :)
It was an honor to be able to hug my mom before I was 'given away'.
Looked how packed the church is!!!
Dad giving me away.
Lighting of the unity candle when two become one.
We added an interesting aspect to our wedding ceremony. After customizing it to our needs with our pastor, we added a time before the vows and final kiss for our parents to come up around us and pray for us and our marriage.
Then came the ring exchange. It was such a sweet moment. And thank the Lord the rings fit!!
My turn to place the infinite bound of marriage on Codys finger ;)
.....And you may kiss the bride...BAM!
We made it! We made it! 5 years of long distance, 5 years of immensely missing each other, 5 years of not being able to go on dates for months on end, 5 years of long distance calls and sad missing-you-tears, gone. No more. We are together forever. Never to be apart. EVER. Marriage has been the best decision we could have ever made.
We ran to our limo to take us to the reception at Bluebird Hill 25 minutes away. The time in the limo was so special saying over and over again lookin into each others eyes, "We're married, we're married!!"
