Stephenson Wedding {Father of the Bride Speech}

So I cried during the Maid of Honor speech and was recovering from hers when I saw my Dad walking up to stand next to me to give his speech. I had completely forgotten he was after my MOH. I was not prepared for his speech at all, I wasn't prepared to cry but boy did I. 

Stephenson Wedding {Maid of Honor Speech}

My MOH and I have been best friends since the 7th grade, however we have known each other since the 4th grade. She is my other half, my Christina to my Meredith, the person that holds me together. I don't know what I would do without her and I am not sure how I would have planned all the wedding things without her. She was there for me when I would blow up her phone while she was at work with all the wedding ideas and she was there for me when I came home crying from an appointment - she was there through it all.

My dad and I have always had a really special relationship. He cried when he dropped me off at college, which was 10 miles from our house just in downtown Raleigh, so I knew my wedding day was going to be emotional for him.

Stephenson Wedding {First Dance}

This Wedding Wednesday I will be sharing with you all why we laughed almost the entire time during our First Dance, and we totally knew we were going to from months before the wedding.

Stephenson Wedding {Reception Entrances}

Another Wedding Wednesday and we are just now getting into the reception part today! Awhile back I mentioned the Bridal party into the reception to  Get the Party Started by Pink and Timmy and I entered in to Crazy in Love by Beyonce. Both were such great song choices and some of my bridal party really lived up to the crazy and fun entrances!

When we first started planning the wedding and the reception I was going for something a little more rustic, but of course that all changed less than a month before the wedding. 

Stephenson Wedding {The Details}

Now that all the serious posts are over, this  Wedding Wednesday the fun begins! Starting off with all the little details that went into the ceremony and the reception! Then next week we will dive into the party, but until then here is a little sneak peek of some the reception.

Stephenson Wedding {Grooms Family Formal Photos}

Most of Timmy's family didn't stay in the Sanctuary for formal photos but we were still able to get quite a few!

Stephenson Wedding {Brides Family Formal Photos}

We both have pretty big families. So this  Wednesday I am going to be sharing my side of the family formal photos and next week you will get to see my in-laws :)

Stephenson Wedding {Ceremony Part Two}

After Lisa said the prayer for Warren, we continued on with the ceremony. By the end of ceremony I had forgotten Warren had fainted because I was just filled with joy that I was now Mrs. Stephenson!

Stephenson Wedding {Man Down!}

I have been so eager to share this part of the wedding with you all! Who has been curious about what this post was going to be since the last Wedding Wednesday??

Stephenson Wedding {Ceremony Part One}

Getting married at the church I grew up in was never a dream of mine until my mom passed away. Before that there was no way I was going to get married in a church. I wanted an outdoor wedding. But things change and my priorities changed. I am so glad we decided to get married in the church because I couldn't have imagined my wedding any other way if I hadn't.
