Wedding Festivities

This is the first of several updates today...I figured I better get caught up before school starts and while I'm sitting here with all the pictures in easy reach. A few of my favorite pics and moments of the wedding festivities. There were so many people who were here for Dale and I and there were several times when I was completely overwhelmed by that fact...These people are here and are doing this FOR US, because they love and care about us and they're excited for us to start our life together! Amazing! It was hard for me to let them do and me not do at times, but I knew that I need to just relax and enjoy...which I definitely did!

Let me just tell you, being ultra organized definitely paid off! It was such a blessing to show up and know that I had people I could trust and I didn't have to worry about the cake looking right, or the flowers looking weird or anything else. We had awesome people in charge of those things and everything came out looking awesome! If I had advice to give to a Bride-to-be, it would be to BE ORGANIZED, RELAX, and KEEP IT SIMPLE. I decided early on that I was not going to get uptight if the reds didn't match or if something didn't go just the way I thought it should.

Anyways, for some pictures...

My parents, Dale's Parents went with us to an Orioles game a few days before the wedding.

All the girls from Miami plus a few kiddos :) Love these girls and am so thankful they could all be here with me!

Our last picture before we were married!

My family...Dale, my parents, Keith, Brooke and Baby Bumeder :) Due in January!

My Maid of Honor Amanda- I'm so glad she made it- even if it was the morning of the wedding! Right before we went to Morningside :)

The Day after the Wedding- we had everyone over for lunch and to see the house (including Scout, my parents' new puppy!)

Amanda stayed a few extra days and we went to Annapolis to visit the State House and the Naval Academy.
