the best day of my life

It's true what they say.

After months and months of anticipation, planning,  and stressing over every intricate detail, your wedding day comes and goes in the blink of an eye.

It's over? Already? But I'm not done, yet!

Surrounded by our closest friends and family, June 5, 2015, was truly the best day of my life.

I woke up at my normal hour of 7 a.m., wide awake like a kid on Christmas. I sat criss-cross-apple-sauce in bed with several of my bridesmaids and chatted about life, love and boys, like thirteen-year-olds might. We ate brunch and drank coffee, like adults, and relaxed until it was time to get our hair done.

That's when the day went into fast-forward mode.

Hair, makeup.... (blo. gets lots of thumbs up on my bridal hairstyle. absolute perfection.)



The dress? Allure.


Something old, new, borrowed and blue.


Before I knew it, my dad arrived to whisk me away to the McGranahan Barn. We chose this venue partly because of the historical background, but the outdoor ceremony setting and the rustic, yet classy feel inside the barn didn't hurt matters any.


The boys had a good day, too. At least it looks that way.



Yes, we elected to do first look pictures, and I fully support it.



As you can see, our photographer, Candi Coffman, gets all the gold stars.


We had the cutest of ring bearers and flowers girls. I can't even.


Our wedding party wasn't so bad, either.





The ceremony was just as I always dreamed.


As was the groom. [insert heart eyes emoji]


We sneaked away for a few sunset photos before the party started.


Can you say amazing? This puppy is getting blown up on my mantle. When we get a mantle, that is.

We ate Roxy's Ice Cream in lieu of a groom's cake and played yard games.



We danced the night away... Well, Ryan and I danced.


And before we knew it, before we even got to talk to half of our guests, the night was over.



And we lived [are living] happily ever after.

It was the best day, you guys. Better than I could have ever imagined. I'm sad it's over, but so happy about what the future holds for us. Thank you to everyone who played a part in it.

All my love,

Mrs. Martin


P.S. Happy one month anniversary to us! Time flies when you're having fun.

Isn't it insane how fast it goes by? It truly isn't right. You, your groom, and your day were beautiful. I hate that I missed it, but I'm so glad I could feel like I was there. :)
