Wedding Wednesday - Receptoin

I haven’t posted any wedding pictures in months and months…but I just got looking at them. We have been married for nearly a year and a half, but I still like to look at the pictures…and I have TONS of them!

Today I am posting a few from the reception. We had about 275 people for a fun night of dinner and dancing. Ryan and I have lots of crazy friends…so needless to say it was a fun night!

Ryan made quite the scene out of getting the garter…which was funny mostly because it is out of character for Ryan. He is usually pretty shy and reserved…so to have all eyes on him and have him making a big scene was funny!

Apparently his shirt had to be untucked for the big toss?!?!

oh well....he's still cute :)

What a great day. I wish I could go back and do it all again….OF COURSE I would marry the same guy :)

Wedding Wednesday

I haven't posed a Wedding Wednesday post in a LONG time....but I haven't taken any pics in a long time either...so this is all I've got today :) I have been slacking in the picture taking dept.

We have been married for one year, one month now...and I still have about 250 professional wedding pics that I have never posted on the old blog. SO....when all else fails, I can post these :)

My handsome hubby....

(who hates getting is picture taken, so I am sure that this was just painful for him :))

Ryan and his little sister Dani.

Dani just turned 18 last week...she is a freshman at CMU!
Ryan and his immediate family.
Dad, Dani, mom, older bro Josh, and Ry.

Three siblings. Ryan is the middle child....

I will be back tomorrow with some Week 32 belly pics and an update on my Dr. appt. today!

Wedding Wednesday...

I have not posted any wedding pictures in quite awhile, but decided that I would today because our anniversary is coming up (and I don't really have anything else to blog about...hahaha). These are more of the professional pictures that we have the copyright for.

The boys....

The boys with the cutest boy of them all...my Blaker :)

This one is so cute of Ryan looking down at his baby....

Ryan and his mom

Ryan and his dad

mama Julie again.....this is such a good picture of both of them!!

awwww.....

mom and dad with their middle child :)

Our anniversary is on Sunday....hard to believe that we have been married for a year, but at the same time....it feels like we have been together forever. My parents are celebrating their 34th wedding anniversary on Friday! We are going to a Tigers game on Friday night and then not sure what else for the rest of the weekend. I think that Ryan and I plan on going on a date to celebrate. We are rarely together just the 2 of us! We are going to hold off on any trips until I am not pregnant :)

Wedding Wednesday...more Men

And the wedding pictures roll on for yet another week. This week is a continuation from last weeks pics and the men in our wedding. Ryan had 6 groomsmen and 3 ushers.

This is Ry with Sawyer. Sawyer is one of Ryan roomies from college. Again, Ryan looks super small, but Sawyer is actually super big. He lived with football players in college. Sawyer lives and works in Dubai now, so we don't get to see him much. He flew back to be in our wedding...and will be back again this weekend for the wedding that Ryan is in. We are excited to see him. He is a funny guy and one of Ryan's best friends!
This is Joel. Ryan and Joel have been friends since grade school and graduated high school together. Joel is the sweetest guy ever. Ry and Joel now work at the same place! Ry works as a Quality Supervisor and Joel is an Engineer!

Chad was and Usher. Chad and Ry have been friends their whole lives...everyone calls him O-fer, so it is funny to type Chad. Ryan and ALL of his friends have nicknames. No one goes by their real name. Its pretty strange. The nicknames stick with them for their entire lives. Ryan's is Tito (long story).....and when we first started dating and I would refer to him as Ryan, his friends would look at me like I was nuts! haha

This is Tony. Tony was actually my friend before I even met Ryan, but now he is a close bud of both of ours. Tony and I met when we worked at a golf course (Bucks Run) in college and were immediate friends!! He moved away after college, but is back home now. He threatens to move away again...but I don't believe it!

Here's the whole group...what a bunch of handsome guys :)

Wedding Wednesday

Today batch of pictures features Ryan with some of his groomsmen. He had 6 groomsmen and 3 ushers...so this isn't all of them, but I think 5 pictures a week is enough :)

This is Ryan with his brother Josh. Josh was the Best Man. He is about 15 months older than Ryan, so they were very close growing up!

This is Mike. Mike and Ryan have been friends since kindergarten when they started going to school together. Ryan was in Mike and Shannon's wedding last August. They got married about a month and a half before we did!

This is Erik. Ry and Erik have also been friends since kindergarten. He makes Ry look like a total shrimp...Erik is really tall. Ryan will be in his wedding on August 7th!! He and Kellianne now live up in Traverse City, but we still see them a lot.

This is Ry with Eric..but everyone calls him Squirt. Once again, friends since Kindergarten. Can you tell Ry is from a small town and have a group of very tight knit friends?!!? Ry and Squirt have lots of fun fishing together...one of their favorite hobbies!!

This is Ry with Aaron....most ppl. just call him Harsh (his last name). Harsh is from a neighboring town...but lived with Ry and his friends at college. He is the wild one of the bunch and always a good time. His gf Heather used to be my roomie. They aren't engaged yet...but will be soon I bet :)

More next week.....

Wedding Wednesday

Can't believe that it is Wdnesday again already....this pat week flew by...probably with the help of the long weekend...I could get used to Monday's off!!

Here are a few more pictures of my dress...before the ceremony....at the church....

And then a couple with my sweet little Blake! He looks so young in these pictures....he sure has come a long way in 9 months :)

LOVE him so much!!!

I had a Dr. appt. today, but I will post about that tomorrow with my weekly pregnancy post!! Everything looks good though :)

Wedding Picture Wednesday

SO excited that it is Wednesday...not b/c I post wedding pics...but because the week is 1/2 over and now we are counting down to the holiday weekend!!

I post these pics in the order that my photographer has them on the disk...and these are a wee bit boring, but for my own sake down the road one day, I would like them all on my blog...so bare with me for a few Wednesdays!!

These are just me....

I still have no regrets on my dress choice....I think that I would pick it again today if I was wedding dress shopping!

Wedding Wednesday...

I missed a few weeks of posting Wedding Wednesday pictures...but I'm back this week!! We have been swamped in wedding madness the past few weeks and there is no end in sight!! Kinda makes me miss my wedding planning days :) We went to a wedding this past Saturday...I went to a shower the week before that, I have one this Saturday and then the Sunday of the next weekend...We are going to another wedding on July 17 and then Ryan is in one on Aug. 7. His cousin is getting married in October...SO needless to say, we are pretty busy with weddings, showers, and bachelor/ette parties!!

HATE this serious look...I just don't know how to pull it off!!

Wedding Wednesday

I just checked...these are pictures 88-92 of over 400....seriously....we have SO many wedding pictures. I love that we got copyright release of our pictures...b/c I love to go back and look at them. It would have been nerve wracking to have to pick them all right after the wedding and place an order!!

Me and my daddy-kins.....

And my girls and I....

These are a little small to see...but they actually all turned out pretty good!!

7 girls, 14 open eyes, 7 pretty smiles....I think that is a success!!
