It’s really hard to cram a few thoughts about any wedding into a few paragraphs, but if I have to all I can say is I refused to let the things that went wrong bother me. You spend at least a year planning your wedding and so many people spend the day upset about the things that didn’t happen or went wrong.

Brandon and I wanted our reception to feel like a reunion with a wedding ceremony on the side and we got every ounce of that. We wanted BBQ, corn-hole, dancing and cupcakes. We got every single thing we wanted out of our big day. We spent the night dancing with our friends and family and just having a blast. Dancing was a major theme at our wedding: I danced to the Spice Girls with my BFF’s, Brandon and his BFF bro-mancing to DangerZone, or my 6 year old cousin doing Gangnum Style….those are moments to cherish.
