The itty bitty Smith Family: "THE WEDDING"

Sorry for the delay in posting! As we were wedding planning I kept thinking, "Man, what did we ever do with our time before we were planning this wedding, and what are we going to do with our time AFTER we get married?" I didn't realize that right away you have a about 92,000 things you have to do and take care of! So now things have settle a little it's on to the posting. And we will be turning this into our "Family Blog" now so stay connected! :) ((& I promise we will try to be better at posting more often!!))

First off here are a couple links for you!! This first one HERE is a video that my new cousin Shelly's husband, Kevin (did that make sense??) captured on his Iphone and edited and put to a beautiful song for us. It was sooo awesome for him to do for us! We got home from our honeymoon and hadn't seen any pictures except for the ones the photographer had on his slide show from the ceremony. So It was an amazing surprise to come home too! We watched it 3 times the night we got in and went through about 20 tissues!

This next link HERE is the slide show our photographer put together for us with some of the photos he took from the wedding and reception. He did such an GREAT job and we are sooo glad we chose him!! He is excellent!!

Alright on to some details! We got married on the beach at Corona Del Mar (which the first time I saw it I told Dan that was where I wanted to get married!) Now if you've been there before you know how beautiful it is and how long of a ramp you have to go down to get to the beach. So Dan was at the bottom on the sand with the bishop and everyone waiting for his beautiful bride (that's me!) ;) So once it was time I went and stood on this little platform with my 2 brothers who walked me down the isle where he couldn't see me but I was able to look down and watch everything happen. So first my cute little nephew Brecken starts walking down the isle, and then I watch as all of my bridesmaids and his groomsmen start walking down.. I began to get nervous and excited all at once! It was so cool to watch all of that happening from up above and know it was all for us! Then we had our reception at the Radisson in Newport Beach, it turned out great! It was so much fun! I received the same piece of advise from multiple people not to stress and just enjoy the day because it goes so fast.. which it did!! So that's exactly what I did.. after the reception line and the first dances, the DJ cranked up some jams and I hit the dance floor! It was soo fun!! Then at the very end my bridesmaids thought it would be cool to jump in the pool! I was all for this!! So I grabbed my photographer and I pretended to jump and the actually did jump in the pool! It was soo awesome I had the best bridesmaids ever!! Then Dan and I headed off for Jamaica!! ((to be continued..)

This is me walking my brothers down the isle lol I was to focused on holding on the my dress and bouquet that I didn't realize that it looks like I'm walking them down the isle.. I was READY!
