One Fine Day.......My wedding!

Troy and I got married on May the 19th 2012 at HEART OF PINES in Brandon, Mississippi. Troy and I met on May 19th 2009 the day after both of our birthdays so this date was very significant to us. 

Troy and I live in New Zealand and wanted to have the wedding back in the states were we met. It was hard to plan a wedding on the other side of the world but thank goodness for Google and my wonderful mother. 

I found HEART OF PINES on Google. I really wanted a barn wedding so I looked up Barns in Mississippi and Found Heart of pines and just loved it. It just so happen to be only 15mins from my moms house. 

The day was just perfect blue sky's, white clouds and the sun just a shining. 

So our photographers Barrett Photography suggested we take some pictures before the wedding so the guest would not have to wait so long and that we would not be so nervous at the ceremony. At 1st I did not want to cause I wanted the 1st time we saw each other to be when I was walking down the aisle and Troy standing at the front. But I did what they suggested and I am glad I did. The pics of Troy and I seeing each other for the 1st time came out great.

Boots!

My dress was my mothers wedding dress from the 70's. As a little girl I looked at my mothers and fathers wedding album heaps and always said her dress is the one I want to wear at my wedding. She did not think it was going to fit me and was trying to talk me out of it. So when I tried it on it was perfect had just a little of altering to do.

One of my mothers friends made my cake. It was the prettiest cakes I had even seen and it tasted so good. Her name is Peggy Lee click her name to check out her web page. 

She is awesome. 

Troys cake, he did not know he was getting. It was his wedding gift from me. Troy loves his beer and NZ pure is his fav. I wanted to give him a piece of home.

Me and my kick ass mother. I love her so much!!

So after 1st dance and father daughter dance my two brother came up to me and said. "hey the next song the three of us are dancing". and I was like "what song" they said "you will see". I was really scared for what was going to happen next. Then the song started playing......."Jump On It" Oh yeah we tore up the dance floor. My brothers are so rad! We are all very close they are some of my best friends. 

My bridesmaids and I did a line dance was a blast!
