Wedding Day!

Finally, wedding day arrived! We all woke up early to go to Design Team in Columbus to get hair and makeup done.

 We definitely did not look like this when we got there.

After hair and makeup, we stopped for some coffee at Starbucks and headed out to Heun to get ready. 

Patrick had been writing in a journal during our engagement and had it delivered to me while we were getting ready.

The rest of the pictures are from our fabulous photographer, Iwen Exposures.
Sorry for the picture overload.  There are just so many I love!

We went to the church to take some bridesmaids pictures.

 And of course we had to take advantage of our beautiful surroundings.

A car came through while we were on the road so we waved them through.

Meanwhile my handsome groom was getting ready in the basement of the church.

Sarah and Pablo signed our marriage certificate.

We didn't see each other before the ceremony, but I still wanted a picture together.

 And finally it was time to head in.

Dad giving me his last words of advice here.  I'm pretty sure he was talking to me about when I was little and helping him sort pigs.  Typical farmer move, but I'll never forget it.

And then the procession began.

Guys, this was the most amazing moment of my entire life.

I wish there could be a sound clip of this moment.  Our vocalist sang the most beautiful Salve Regina while we presented a rose to our Blessed Mother.  I wish so much I could relive this.

And now I present to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs, Patrick Murray!

Stay tuned for the rest of the day in the next post!
