We HAVE Wedding Pics! {Part A}

I may or may not have been STALKING my mailbox every single day since January 2, waiting for our professional wedding pics to arrive. Ryan's mom did such an amazing job taking pictures before the wedding and she even sneaked in a few during and after, but we wanted her to be able to enjoy the actual ceremony, so we hired Stephen Rudd to be there just for a couple of hours to take pictures of the wedding itself. And finally, this week, we arrived home to find a box in the mail!! OUR PICTURES!!! Thought I'd give you a bit of a photo essay of them today!!

There are kind of a lot, so I'll do one grouping today and one tomorrow. And I promise to {try to} keep commentary to a minimum.

Heading to hide in the weeds {or cove - whichever you think sounds classier} prior to the start of the wedding. 
 My best Jackie-O look with my best friend.
 Seeing the part of the wedding I missed...Jeff escorting Mom to her seat.
 Ryan escorting his mom to her seat. I asked Nita later - what is that, a bodyguard behind you? Ryan's stepdad, Allen, looking quite professional! :)
 My gorgeous niece, Cassie, carried in our bears that represented my nephew, Kirk {her brother} and my roommate, Angela, both of whom passed away prior to our wedding.
 Adam and Sara walking in...
 Mark and Lynnette walking in...
 Know what I love about this pic? It was right after I told Dad he could sit down, and I was drinking in Ryan's song to me and looking totally toward my future...no looking back.
 Ryan looking at me as I'm hearing his voice sing to me.
 So handsome. How in the world am I this blessed?
 Trying really hard NOT to cry as I listened to him sing. {I had worked so hard on the makeup...} I do wonder who the swimsuit lady is in the back!
 Loved this fish bowl setting he used a couple of times. Our little wedding party!
 Praying together. {Or else we were very tired. NO...I'm kidding. We were praying.}
 Oh yeah. That's my husband.
 Our little bears.
 This did NOT go well. He had to finish putting the ring on himself. But at least we got a photo.
 I'M GETTING MY WEDDING RING!!!!!!!!!!!!
 All married off!!
 All our guests...
 Our wedding party. Man, they look good.
 My girls. We were gettin' sassy.
 And the handsome men.
Can you stand just a little more...tomorrow?

EEEEEEEEEEEEE! They are beautiful pictures. I love the one of the whole group. How fun is that? And the one of the wedding party turned out so well. It's fun to see your face during the wedding. Since I was behind you, I couldn't always see you that well. :)

I love the group pic too!!! :) There were about 4 (of the same pose) of the wedding party and I thought they all turned out well!! I was excited to see all the parts I'd missed - like you guys walking in. Can't wait to see it on video too!

Some pics were so funny because we were squinting and we looked mad. And then there's the photo of the woman whose suit didn't QUITE cover most of her...I think that's 8x10 worthy for sure.
