Our Wedding Day!

October 18, 2008 was a perfect day! The day started out with breakfast in the hotel (The Embassy Suites Minneapolis Airport in Bloomington), then the girls were off to Salon George in St. Paul. From there we headed to the church to eat some lunch, put on make-up, and get dressed. Photos started with Paul and me around 1:15pm. Our ceremony took place at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in St. Paul, and the reception, dinner, and dance was held at the Embassy Suites. When people say that your wedding day goes by in a blur, it really does! I can't wait to see the video to relive it all again. It was a wonderful day and so good to see many people that I hadn't seen in a long time. I couldn't have imagined a better day to start the next chapter in our lives together. So much happened that it's hard to summarize it all in a few lines!
