Chelsea & Joe were married on July 9th in Mt. Zion, Illinois. Their day was full of huge smiles & you could just feel the love between the two of them. (and her daddy made me tear up several times that day. He loves his little girl so much!) I just adored how real the two of them are & how perfect their wedding fit them. It was such a gorgeous, wonderful day! (I have to add that their reception had the most amazing food! They had lots of stations set up…various appetizers, korean tacos, build your own pasta, sandwiches, fruit…it was awesome! I had so much fun trying the various foods & left stuffed!)

1. I will remember our first look the most about my wedding day. i was so nervous walking up behind him- I had butterflies. Before I tapped him the shoulder for him to turn around- it came to me, this wonderful man standing before me is going to be my husband. It was the most amazing feeling that I have ever had. I will never forget it! ; )
2. The funniest memory was the photo booth. Watching everyone dress up and take pictures. It was so funny! By the end of the night even after the photo booth was closed- people were still wearing the clown shoes and funny hats! : )
3. My favorite details from my wedding were the decorations. An Affair to Remember took care of everything!! From setting up the chairs at the ceremony to decorating the reception hall. The decorations were beautiful!!
4. My advice to future brides and grooms would be to just breath, relax, and enjoy the process. Don’t stress about the little things, everything will come together perfectly!
5. The only thing I would change would to be putting Joes last name in the invitations. I opted to just put our middle names, so everyone thought that Joes last name was his middle name! ; )
6. We went to St. Thomas, USVI for our honeymoon. We stayed at the all inclusive Sugar Bay Resort. It was absolutely beautiful, the food was great, the rum flows freely, and the memories made were even better! : )
