The Wedding Day!!

The day finally arrived!! December 20th was finally here. We never thought this day would come but it did and we were so ready to get married. The day was beautiful. God blessed us with sunshine and thus we decided to have the ceremony outside. There was a slight breeze and so it was still a bit chilly. And once the sun went down it got really cold. My poor bridesmaids were wearing summer dresses (what were we thinking??). During the ceremony they put on jackets to keep them from freezing. But once we got into the ceremony it was nice a toasty. It was a perfect day. Our only incident (and there are always incidences at wedding) was that we could not find the programs and guest book. But alas they showed up and people were able to sign the book. But we figured if that was the only problem, then we had a pretty good day. We had so much fun during the ceremony and the reception. We felt so blessed by all that were there to share our special day with us. We hope and pray that they were as blessed as we were. God is so amazing and we are so grateful for all the He has done for us. We loved every minute of our wedding day and can't believe that its over. The whole day was a blur and we so quickly. I put together a slideshow of pictures from the day. I just want to thank a few people. First of all, our parents, they are amazing!! They helped so much with all the planning and everything. We are grateful to have two great examples of wonderful marriages. Second, my sister Amy DeGraw for being my maidtron of honor and taking great care of me and also for making everything look so beautiful. She did all the flowers and the decorating...she is so talented. I love you Amy and will forever be grateful for all your help. Third, Miriam Ellison, she decorated our cake and did a wonderful job for her first time. Thanks Mir!! And finally, my aunt Paula and uncle John for allowing us to have our wedding at Wolf Lakes in December. It was awesome and we are so appreciative for all that you did for us. And THANK YOU to all who came and endured the cold. You will never know how much it meant to us to have you there. So we are officially Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Wilson (I can prove it...we have our marriage license). We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. Hope you enjoy the photos!!
