The Post with Everything Wedding-Related :)

I have finally finished my mad blogging marathon to record all of the details from the wedding extravaganza. Mike and I are so thankful for the outpouring of love and support that we received surrounding our wedding. We praise Jesus for the gifts of friendship and family. We are humbled by the faint picture that our earthly wedding reflects of the greater wedding feast to come. We are excited about our new life as husband and wife, and praise Jesus that we get to walk this life together, serving our Savior.

I hope you are not too overwhelmed by all of the details and that this post serves to direct you to only the things you want to see (or not see). There's A LOT of info and pictures. But I think it's kind of a big deal :) And I want to be sure to have a good record of everything. Plus, it was fun to re-live all of the wedding fun!

So here it is...the post with everything wedding-related :)

**As a fun BONUS, our photographer blogged about our wedding day over on her blog. She is the lovely lady (along with her sweet husband!) that gets the credit for a majority of these oh-so-wonderful photos. Her blog post is a little shorter than my 8 blog posts haha, so you may want to head over there for the shorter (though still very FULL) version. Jillian, thank you AGAIN for EVERYTHING! :)

{Our Wedding Story} Chapter 8: The Outtakes :)

Our story just wouldn't be complete without the outtakes :) I hope you enjoy these funny moments as much as we do. Because while there were countless sweet moments, the day was made perfect because of fun moments like these...

Dancing M&Ms!

This girl has way too much going on to be bothered by some crazy hair and a curling iron...

No clue what was so funny. But I'm the only one who thinks so. Apparently.

Such a sad face haha.

Laugh and be goofy? Check.

What's a pose that defines your friendship? I've got a "Sic 'em" and a "Surprise Faces!"

Aww...sibling love. And awkwardness....?

Ummm...yeah.

Hehe. Poor Paul. We love you! :)

Mike looks good. And then you notice his best men...

Again, not sure what's so funny. And again, I think it's WAY more funny than anyone else...

Well, I thought this would be a sweet picture. Little did I know...

Haha- super cute!

Literally, LOL. Oh dad...

Bolivar holds a special place in our hearts.

Mike and my grandma. ??

Mike's dad looks lost. Laura looks annoyed. My mom looks disgusted. My dad just had to close his eyes. And apparently, Mike thinks it's hilarious. 

He. Was. Done.

I probably spent 10 minutes surveying everyone's face/expression. Totally. Worth. It.

"A joyful heart is good medicine..."

~ Proverbs 17:22a

Our wedding day was filled with joy and laughter; thank you Jesus for such fun blessings!

{Our Wedding Story} Chapter 7: Party Time, Round 2

As if Party Time, Round 1 wasn't enough fun, we decided to go a 2nd round and have another party :) There are so many people in our lives that are dear and special to us, and we wanted an opportunity to celebrate with all of them. So we had a 2nd reception at the church. We brought in the same DJ that we had for our wedding reception and had a fun time partying with friends and family.

1 day married and waiting to be introduced...I just like hearing "Mr. and Mrs. McCullough"  :)

Everybody on the dance floor! :)

Jon showing off his moves...

Sweet friends...

Fun with the youth kids! :)

Another send-off! :)

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us...and for those who came out to celebrate with us again :) It was a fun weekend of wedding festivities, and we are so thankful for the memories!

{Our Wedding Story} Chapter 6: Sweet Moments...

You know those photos that just make you stop and sigh as you realize the sweetness of the memory that the photo captures? That's what today's blog post is dedicated to. Because our photographer was able to capture so many of these moments...and I want to be able to look back through them and stop, sigh, and remember all over again the sweetness of the day...

Sweet words from mom...
