We’d love to thank Flowers Talk for our beautiful flowers at our wedding. They’re the best at flower shop in town! Everyone loved our bouquets and the flowers at our reception hall.

As you can see from the photos, my father-daughter dance with my dad was really emotional. I chose Teresa James - You’re my Hero as our song.
I would ride on your shoulders
And look out on the world
Pretending I was big and tall like you
When you were there to hold me
I never was afraid
You made me feel there’s nothing I can’t do
If I’d spread my wings to fly
When I was very small
I knew that you’d be standing by
To catch me if I fall
CHORUS
You’re my hero
Chasing the monsters from my room
Going on trips around the moon
The one who’s always been there faithfully
You’re my hero
And ‘cause you’re my Dad…
I’m twice as blessed and lucky to be me
As I kept on growing
We often disagreed
But you let me find myself in my own way
And it’s funny, how just lately
I’ve come to recognize
How wise you are becoming every day
There’s so much you’ve given me
I hope I’ve made you proud
You’re everything a Dad should be
And it’s time to tell you now
You’re my hero
You didn’t have to say a word
Your love was the message that I heard
Inspiring me to be all I can be
You’re my hero
And ‘cause you’re my Dad…
I’m twice as blessed and lucky to be me

It’s been a month since our totally awesome wedding. Here’s a preview of our wedding entrance inspired by “Glee”. Everyone was surprised… Enjoy!

Here’s our first dance song: “The Way You Are” by David Choi and Kinna Grannis.
A lot of our guests were wondering how we found out about this song since it isn’t played on the radio. Well, last year TJ was looking for Bruno Mar’s “Just the Way you Are” on youtube and he thought the name of the song was “The Way You Are.” So he stumbled upon this video by accident and he loved it and said he thought of us when he listened to it. He let me listen to it and I immediately fell in love with it. It captures “us” so well. ENJOY!
You the only girl that I see
The only one that I dream about constantly
You the only boy that I need
The only one that I dream about endlessly
I want to say I think you’re perfect
You know I think you’re perfect
For all the wait I know you’re worth it
The wait I know you’re worth it
We’ll always make it through
As long as you’ve got me and I’ve got you
We will take the world in our stride
Anything can be possible by your side
I love the way you are
I love the way you are
I love the way, I love the way
I love the way you are
I surprised my hubby with a little song number at our wedding. The song is called “If” by Bread and it’s a song that I always sang to him whenever he needed to fall asleep. Even before we were engaged he had always wanted me to sing while walking down the aisle during the ceremony but the next year after he mentioned that, we attended a wedding where the bride had done that so, since that’s been done, we decided not to opt for that. I decided to surprise him at the reception instead and he had NO CLUE that it was coming. :)
