As promised, here are my favorite pictures from the reception! (Also happy 3 month anniversary to us!) Bluebird Hill in Lenoir City was so breathtakingly beautiful that we couldn't help but take a bunch of pictures with the gorgeous scenery!
Morgan made these boards all around the reception representing me and Cody's story.
We had an advice box along with a honeymoon jar fund to our Panama City Beach/ Walt Disney World Honeymoon.
Our gift/sign in table at the reception.
On each table, whatever number was placed on it, was the age Cody and I were in the pictures! 1-15 year old Cody and Kayla are so cute!
Brides cake! White champagne flavor with white buttercream layers with a white fondant outside.
Grooms Reeses peanut butter cake.
Our macaroni and cheese bar was a HIT!
Spinach and artichoke dip, pigs in a blanket, fruit kabobs, grilled chicken strips, and deviled eggs galore!
The field behind the "barn".
Oh the sky!!! I was so in love with the stormy sky!
My hair kind of matches the hay stalks.
My love <3
One of my all-time favorites!
I loved the detailing of my bouquet! The pearl spine down the white silk wrapping was to die for!
Bridals
I love the black and white simplicity of this picture just me holding my dress walking through the soaking wet field.
Here's an untraditional spin to my wedding! Instead of high heels or cowgirl boots, I had these beauties called barefoot sandals. Nothing is better being barefoot and I don't wear heels very well. When I was outside I wore white lace flats over them.
Womping Willow
Perfect mother-son dance to My Wish by Rascal Flats
Followed by the Father-daughter dance to Cinderella. It was so special being able to dance with my dad!
And last but certainly not least, our first dance! It was quite spectacular if I don't say so myself. We didn't practice for a single second before the wedding but Cody twirled, dipped, and spun me perfectly in sync. It's like we were one, just moving together hand-in-hand, step-by-step.
The final dip! He's such a romantic! ;)
Celebrate! We are married at last!
LOVE this shot
Oh. my. Beautiful.
Cody's favorite picture of all times!
After the round of billions of pictures ;) it was time to cut the cake! So much fun! We high-fived after successfully feeding it to each other. It's not easy feeding each other at the same time! And no, we didn't smash it into each other's faces, we were nice to each other.
The best man speech. It was so sweet I couldn't hardly stand it! Thanks bro! We love you!
My extremely photogenic grandfather!
One of my favorite pictures with Morgan of all times!
Best friends even though we live so far apart!
Sassy cousins! We've always been best buddies!
Had to do the dab to show my kids what weirdness was "in" when their mom and dad got married. :P
Taino and yep
Me and mama! Didn't she look so beautiful as the mother of the bride!
Goodness we just have so much fun together no matter what we are doing! No one can make me really laugh like he can.
Oh and it's not a party without Nate! He is the greatest thing! This family wouldn't be the Dyar's without him! Thanks for adding life to, well, life Nathan! When we get together, nothing is not funny.
You lead the dancing and Michael-Jackson-danced your heart out! Thanks for getting people out of their seats!
Twirl twirl twirl with Ada
Swing your partner round and round up and down to the ground! (I think that's how it goes ahaha)
Dancing the afternoon away!
One of my favorite spots!
And last but not least, the most dramatic storm ridden magazine perfect picture I have ever been in and probably ever will be in. I was so surprised and amazed our photographers could capture this side of Cody and I! Amazed!
Garter toss to the song Let's get it on by Marvin Gay. It wasn't weird at all.....yes...yes it was. DJ played the wrong song or just had a sense of humor. And yes it took Cody a whole 30 seconds to get the garter off, he had no idea where it was. What can you say, #virgins!
My surprise to Cody! An officially signed Tennessee football with the garter attached to throw to the single men!
Tyler caught it! He's next! ;)
Bouquet toss!
My friend Madeleine caught it! I hope she is next to wed! :)
We left with bubbles!
Of course the guests such as beautiful Gigi had to blow them before it was time haha!
On our way to the car to our final destination, Grand Ole Opry.
And they lived happily ever after.....!
Love,
The Raborns

ReplyDeleteTruly it was an outstanding wedding!! This couple looks so charming together. Their wedding shots have been taken so perfectly. One of my friends too had an award winning wedding recently. This ceremony was held at iconic Seattle Wedding venues. We enjoyed a lot.
