September 18th was easily the most perfect day of my life.

While planning my wedding, I imagined it would be a cool fall day and the leaves would be the most beautiful shades of yellow and orange. I should’ve known better. September 18th is still smack dab in the middle of summer in SC and it was hot. Like 95 degrees kind of hot. Regardless, it was perfect to us. Did everything go off without a hitch? I doubt it, but Cory and I had two awesome wedding planners and we never knew if something did go wrong.

150 of our closest friends and family gathered around us and helped us kick off our marriage with a bang. The day was relaxing {surprisingly}, the ceremony was beautiful, we danced the night away at the reception and the wedding planning was finally over!

The day started off EARLY. We had to be at the hair salon by 7:00 am for a 6:30 pm wedding.

Cory and I decided to do something a little less traditional and have a sneak peek before the ceremony. It allowed us to get all of our family pictures done {and we had a bunch} before the ceremony and we loved it! We had a few minutes for just the two of us on a very hectic day and I love the pictures of Cory’s expression when seeing me for the first time. Sometimes with only one photographer, those pictures get lost in a big church. I do wish that we had thought of a better location though. I was too excited to see Cory and for Cory to see me in my dress to think of how the pictures would turn out.
