People tell you the wedding day is a blur, and true enough the day flies right on by. For example:
At our reception I picked up a piece of strawberry cake for Ivy and I to share, but then with pictures and goodbyes I put it down, never to pick it up again.
Here are some of my memories of the wedding day...
-Playing Ping Pong with David Bilodeau the morning of the wedding at 10am, while wearing black pants and a white shirt.
-Having Subway with my friends David, Chris, and Dave before the wedding at 1pm.
-Singing Opera at 8:30am, because I was so happy :)
-Being around friends that make you laugh, Dave Frost and David Bilodeau.
-Driving with Dave to the church and getting lost.
-Eating a wonderful breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, and toast.
-Trying diligently not to see Ivy before she came down the aisle.
-Seeing her beautiful reflection in the glass door at the back of the church.
-Watching her walk down the aisle and seeing how pretty she looked.
-Trying not to lock my knees during the ceremony.
-Seeing old friends who had gathered at the church.
-Hearing my dad say, "Grandma says her heart is here".
-Trying not to cry while reciting my vows.
-Thinking it was funny that the marriage license only required a SS Number and no signature.
-Putting my arm around Ivy's chair during the reception.
-Watching the "memories" DVD with friends and family gathered.
-Saying Goodbye to my friends Keith and Claudia.
-Having my picture taken with my co-workers from Orlando.
-Popping balloons from the van with Levi Ivy's brother.
-Eating homemade Ice cream at the Fisher's house.
-Being amazed at how much birdseed does hurt when thrown at you....finding it in my hair.
-Riding up and down the 4 blocks of Main St. Pitsburg honking the horn, having "just married" written in the back window, watching a small boy on a bike look at us in wonder.
Thank the Lord....who creates the mind and causes us to have many happy memories of our lives.

We were so glad to be there, Nate.
My memories from that day include meeting Ivy for the first time, seeing how obvious your love for one another is, realizing that Frosty looks exactly the same as he did at Moody, eating a cheese-man at the reception, wondering if someone was going to yell "blam!" in the middle of the reception, and being absolutely confident that you and Ivy would have a fulfilling and God-honoring marriage after watching you two together.
It sounds like it was a wonderful day. That's a great picture of you and Ivy.
