The Gift of Gunnar: "I want to dance with you..."

Whelp, this was one week that we will never forget...and boy was it busy! Having all of our Mississippi and Texas friends and family here with us celebrating this new chapter in our lives brought on an indescribable feeling. It meant so much having everyone here with us throughout the week. We are so ~~lucky~~ to have the best friends and family in the world. No, we are BLESSED.

Let me walk you through our busy wedding week. This will be great to revisit in the future which will only help me out even more when my future kiddos ask questions only to leave me with the realization that I am growing wrinkles and suffering from a bad case of memory loss. Thank Heaven for blogging. This really is a good hobby to have, eh? ;)

Josh and I worked almost up until the Friday before the wedding...literally. Those that know me well, know that I have to stay busy. Otherwise, I will hit the panic button...and quick. Look my name up in the Webster's and you will see the letters "O.C.D." plastered beside it. It's okay though because it keeps things interesting. ha (veeeeeeeeery interesting)

My Lovely Aunt Sue Ann and Uncle Marc, and their best friends, Jim and Cindy, drove over mid-week to help out with last minute wedding details. There are absolutely NO words to describe these people. Wow...let's just say we couldn't have done it without them. As they helped cover water bottles with labels, create cute decorative pieces for the kids' table, and box things up to take over to Park Heights, Lauren (my beautiful and incredibly talented cousin), worked herself to death at my house baking and icing cookies for the groom's table. We basically could have started a business this week...about nineteen of them. WORD. Those who have yet to begin wedding planning, bless you. Naw, really, it is such a fun experience, but if you are like me...the planning is not over until about an hour before the ceremony starts. That's just how we roll.

Now, for the remainder of this post, I'm going to let the pictures do all (majority) of the talking...
