Jud and I were married July 21, 2007, exactly 3 years and 20 days from the day we started dating. The day was beautiful and warm. (That's putting it mildly for a July day in Texas.) My colors were Lavender, a dark purple and white. (Not very summery, but purple is my favorite color.) We were married in the same chapel of the same church that Jud's twin sister, Jamye, was married at.
This was taken before the wedding date when I was planning the decorations. The chandelier was beautiful! Jamye (Jud's twin sister), my mom, and the wedding party entered while "Amazed" by Lonestar was playing.
My dad walked me down the aisle in his Navy dress uniform. We entered to the traditional "Wedding March" by Wagner (per Jud's request).
We had "I Loved Her First" by Heartland play just after my dad gave me away.
The Lighting of the Unity Candle. We had the song "One" by George Jones and Tammy Wynette playing while we lit the candle. (Notice Jud's boutinerre? My sister-in-law, Jennifer, made that!!)
Our first kiss as husband and wife! "Lost in this Moment" by Big & Rich was supposed to start playing as we went to kiss, but it ended up starting after we kissed. Then, the wedding party exited to "From this Moment On" by Shania Twain.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Jud and most of the guys! (L to R) Jud's best man Justin, his groomsman Darren, our ring bearer (and my cousin) Fisher, my good-looking husband, his groomsman Blake, and his groomsman Scott.
Derek (left) and Raymond were the two ushers.
My two sisters-in-law, Jamye (Jud's twin sister) and Jennifer (Jud's brother JimEd's wife), and I. Two of the best friends a girl could ask for!! Jennifer also helped with all of the bouquets, boutinerees and corsages.
My younger sister, Ashley, and I.
This picture is of all of us. Kelsey (my cousin that I'm closest too and bridesmaid), Jennifer (my sister-in-law and bridesmaid), Ashley (my sister and bridesmaid), Lindsey (had been my best friend since high school and maid of honor), and Carly (my cousin and flower girl).
This is Dad, Jud, Me, Mom, and Ashley. (Jennifer made the bouquets and corsage. Mom, Jamye and my Grandmother were given corsages.)I thought my wedding was beautiful then and I still think so now. That was one of the happiest days of my life. I married my best friend and love of my life!
Love,
Amanda
