Well here we are 2 months out from the wedding and im finally getting in a wedding post!
As any woman will likely tell you my wedding day was MAGICAL. Yes, again a lot of the smaller details i do not remember but in the whirlwind that was January 26, 2013 i left married to the man god hand crafted for me and that, friends, is the most important part
The morning started with a few of my bridesmaids and i waking up in the hotel room to have breakfast and prepare for my hair/make up artist to arrive! My mother arrived shortly after and so did the WONDERFUL Jake who did my hair and makeup!
After all the hairspray and bobby pins stopped flying it was time to head from Irving to Midlothian to wait at the church for the ceremony to begin! We stopped and got chick fil a nuggets and then made our way to Longbranch Baptist Church where i would marry my soul mate! My family and bridesmaids started to arrive and get ready as well and i must say i was EXTREMELY calm!
Now that everyone ( including my Groom ) had arrived and the guests were piling in it was time for me to put my dress on... lets just say calm exited stage left!

It was now my turn my song came on ( I wont give up cover by lennon and maisy stella ) and my heart began to race... i was walking down the aisle away from the past and towards my bright heavenly future to become Mrs. Carlos Alberto Gomez Jr.

The ceremony was beautiful and carlos' vows seriously were the most heart felt amazing words any woman could ever here... and he wrote them him self!! After i choked through mine we lit the unity candle while my Step Dad read a passage. We said the rest of our vows and BAM you may now kiss the bride!

Now it was off to have all the guests say hello and take all the pictures... it would take 80 posts to post them all so refer to the post before this one! The ceremony was PERFECT and i would not change a single thing! We ARE Married!!!!
The reception was a blast and we danced until i could not dance anymore! We had SO much fun with our families and friends the night just flew by!
I must say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to EVERYONE who made it out to the wedding and reception and spent their time and money to come to our special day. Each and everyone of you made this day a million times more amazing! We would not be who we are today with out each one of your loving hearts to guide us! We LOVE you!
