Keep me warm in your love

I can't believe that the wedding was a week ago already. I must say, my nerves are more calm and I'm basking in the glow of that newlywed feeling.

So many people have been emailing/calling/messaging about pictures and so I thought I'd give you all a little sneak peak. These are from the wonderful photographer's proof page. All brides, no matter where you're located, should consider hiring AMANDA FALES of AmandaFales.com. Her and her husband, Andy, make a remarkable (and professional) team. Amanda and I went to the same college and my freshmen year we lived across the hall from one another! I still own some of the things she gave away at the end of the year!! :) Crazy how time flies.

Here are a few photos. Enjoy! :)

We held the wedding at Indianapolis' historic Benton House. It was built in 1873 on a charming, wooded lot by Mr. Benton, the founder of Butler University. I loved it for its vintage, Victorian qualities. You'll see:












The rings

David and I decided to do all our wedding photos before the actual ceremony. I got ready at our apartment and he got ready at The Benton House. Here is the moment after our "first meeting." Aw.



We enjoyed some quiet moments to ourselves.




I just love my expression there!


Steamy!



You can see my bouquet a bit in that photo. I absolutely loved it. Miranda at Bloomz in Indianapolis did a fabulous job with my requests and had lots of great ideas. Here's a zoomer:




There were so many portraits Amanda did with me. I really like how this one turned out!


And look at those shoes! People flipped when I told them my shoes were purple, but they totally go, right?


The wedding party was fantastic!


So handsome!


And there we all are.


Let's move on to the actual ceremony, held at Shalom Mennonite Church.


Whoa stained glass!


My grandmother maid the pew decorations.


I designed the programs. Thank God for InDesign for brides on a budget! :)


Me getting ready to walk with Mommy and Daddy. I sobbed like a crazy fool!


Pretty church.


The crowd got a few shots, too! ^^


My cousin, a bridesmaid, read from Song of Songs.


My Aunt Grace sang "Caro Mio Ben."


My sister sang "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

And then it was over! :D


A congratulatory hug from my dearest professor from college, Hank Nuwer!

A few details from the reception (I had another photographer shoot the reception and am waiting on those. We had a live string trio, wine and desserts)!




My grandmother (who used to be a florist) also designed the centerpieces. The eating took place in a tent outside of the Benton House.


Tent!

More later. :)
