A Video and More

Our photographer also did some videography on our big day.  Here is the video they put together for us.  Patrick and I love how it turned out!



There is also another favorite video from the day.  The Murray men have a tradition of doing a special dance to Tequila.  I think there were a few chairs damaged in the process.







There are a few other favorite non-professional pictures from the day that I couldn't help but share.


Dad and the bro watching the first dance :)



Sisters are the best!



These guys were quite the dancing crew!



A few work buddies came by too! (The gal on the left is who took our engagement pictures.)

My fellow OT classmates throwing our signs.  Somehow Patrick was initiated into the group.

Our future next door neighbors.

The Nebraska Rockhurst OT Married club


The whole Summer Preview Team together again!

And that, my friends, is the end of wedding pictures.
Thanks for reading!

Wedding Day, Part #2

So this this is where we left off, right after the ceremony.  This picture is definitely one of my favorites!


Wish I could remember what we were laughing at!

And then we went back inside to take every known picture combination known to man.






Siblings.








All of the outdoor pictures were my favorite.  The sky was the most perfect blue.





These were all taken in our neighbor's oat field.  The color was so perfect.  Timing couldn't have been better.









Unfortunately, we found out a little too late, that our bus didn't have the greatest air conditioner.  Everyone still had so much fun, and I wouldn't have changed a single thing!



These were taken on top of a hill back home called, Fuller's Hill.  I swear we did not pick our wedding date based on when all the plants were going to be at their prime.






Thanks, Maura, for shaking the bugs out of my dress!

After some good time on the party bus, we made it back to the Oak Ballroom.
Cakes by Barb Belina.  She did a fantastic job!



Patrick's groom's cake was a glass of Guinness!







Dad volunteered to bless the meal, but not before throwing in some sort of joke. 


This was one of the best parts of the reception.  We finally were able to look out at all of our friends and family that came to celebrate the day with us.
Patrick began thanking everyone for coming by saying, "My wife and I would like to thank you...." Everyone went wild.

And then came the thoughtful and heartfelt speeches by our wedding party.






This could possibly be the best picture of the entire wedding.  Jill's face is priceless.




The Rust family.

The Murray family.


Finally it was time for the first dance.  We dance to Can't Take my Eyes off You by Frank Sinatra.  We have had this song picked out for years.  



Note the goofballs in the background.

We had quite the cheering section.
Father/daughter, mother/son dance. 
We danced to Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. 




And then the partying began!  We had some pretty good dancers here!





















I hope everyone had as much fun as we did!  We stayed at the reception till 1:00 am.  We were so exhausted, but everything was just perfect.  We couldn't have asked for a better day or better people to share it with.  What wonderful beginning to the rest of our lives!
