Rustic Romance...

Our wedding day was such an emotional day. Its amazing to me how much goes into planning an event that lasts a few hours. Don't get me wrong, I loved my wedding but was more excited about the beginning of our marriage. The weather was perfect, in the mid 60's in Steamboat Springs, Co. Our ceremony took place outside, in a hay field, with views of mountains and Aspen trees of green and gold. As a surprise to our guest, Sean and I both entered the ceremony site on horseback, separate of course.

Earlier that day, while getting ready, I was fine. I wasn't stressed, I was calm and collected. But as soon as I got on my horse, I lost it. I wasn't sobbing but it was a constant flow of tears down my face. I just kept thinking " I wish they were here. I wish they could see this. They would be so impressed." At that point I could careless about all my other guest, I just wanted Bill & Patrick there. I kept thinking about Sean didn't even have his Dad and brother by his side on his wedding day, as mine was there to walk me down the isle. And how guilty I felt for getting married when Debi & Erynn just lost their husbands. How could I be "truly happy"? It was definitely "rain on my parade". I was constantly going back and forth with feelings of missing them, feeling sorry for others, sorry for myself, and yet happy to be marrying the man God created for me. the pictures don't do the emotions justice but they do capture some of the beauty on that day. Enjoy!
