Four Weeks Ago

On September 27th 2014 my life changed forever. I married the love of my life and best friend, Michael. 

Our wedding was everything I could have asked for. A perfect sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky. A beautiful wedding party of those we love most. And surrounded by relatives and friends who ventured long distances to share in our joy filled day. As perfect as this day was, it would not have been possible without a wonderful group of people. And since today marks four weeks since we said, "I do!" I would like to take some time to honor a few people.

First, my mother.

Honestly, without her this wedding would not have happened. She was the brains and administration behind the wedding. She helped me organize my thoughts, found countless decorations, and rounded up all the people who served for the set up and take down of the event. I don't know what I would have done without you, Mama!





Next, a family who created the most exquisite flower arrangements, boutonnieres, and bouquets I have ever seen as well as incredibly moist and creamy vanilla cupcakes with decadent cream cheese frosting.

Thank you Danny, Liz, and Hannah! You offered to give up so much of your own time to create such wonderful and beautiful details for our wedding.

Kendall,

Thank you for the countless hours you spent with me creating amazing chalkboard signs.

 The detail and intricate writing you put into the many place cards was so incredible.

For every one who served during the wedding:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This could not have happened with out you!!!

Thank you for coming early to set up, allow the buffet tables to run smoothly, cut those countless pies into slices, bar tend, and help clean up afterwards! You blessed Michael and I incredibly!









Aunt Lisa:

 Thank you SO much for the time and detail you put into decorating and running the appetizer table! It looked incredibly beautiful! Also, thank you for taking time to learn how to make a flower wreath for my hair! The finished product was breathtakingly stunning. I would wear it again and again if I could! 











Corey:

Thank you for letting us use your photo booth, lights and camera to create a fun activity! I am beyond excited to see all the funny pictures that come from it. Also, even though I had no idea my dad was planning this, thank you for the time you spent with him to create the most meaningful and tear-jerking video ever.











Erin:

Thank you for styling my hair for the wedding! I know my hair has never looked better and fuller. I honestly wish I could recreate that style every single day of my life! I felt like a woodland princess.  

 I am beyond grateful that you were the one doing it because you helped keep me calm and relaxed while was inwardly freaking out. And gave me great advice!

Thank you also for doing not only my hair but some of my bridesmaids and mom's as well!


Abby and Rebekah,

The moments that you captured through the camera made the day come back to life for us! We loved all the different angles and perspectives you all took to make the photos come to life! Thank you for capturing our wedding and recreating it through the scenes in the photos.

Travis:

Thank you for all the songs I asked you to download. Thank you for being the best DJ ever! Thank you for making the Bridesmaid Mega Mix for me! Because of you our wedding had style, funk, and fun on the dance floor!




Andrew:

Thank you for being our Master of Ceremonies! We wouldn't have wanted anyone but you to do it. The way you performed the evening was charming and downright classy. Also, Thank you for being a part of our Bridesmaids flash mod dance! It made the choreography hilarious and witty. 

Last but certainly not least, our family:

Thank you for the love and support you have shown us throughout our relationship leading up to marriage! Thank you for the wonderful examples each of you are of a people who strives to love the Lord and seek Him first! We look up to each and every one of you. Without you, we would not be where we are today and be the husband and wife that we are to each other! We love you all beyond what words can say. 

We are so blessed by what everyone did for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Love, 

Liana and Michael.
