We did it y’all! We got hitched!

*Taken with Mr. B’s phone on our way home after the wedding*

The day was more magnificent than I could have ever imagined! The sun shined right before our ceremony and the temperature was perfect! NO RAIN! Yay! One of our guests said it was “not too hot, not too cold!” Everything went according to plan and there were a lot of wonderful, amazing, spectacular surprises! Just to name a few…

Mr. Brooch surprised everyone by serenading me with a solo right before our first kiss! AHH! Wait! I never told you he could sing? Well, he can and there wasn’t a dry eye in the audience! It was the most incredible moment of my life! He totally stole the show!

Mr. Brooch also surprised me with CHIAVARI CHAIRS! Wha! Wha! I married the right man! It was the one thing (other than videography) I really wanted (see my compulsive whining about it here, here, and here), but thought we couldn’t afford! When I saw the chairs, I literally screamed! I could not believe it! I turned to our planner, “What are these doing here? OMG! He got the chairs!” Yes, I was literally the bride that bragged about her chairs all day!

We had a lot of other wonderful surprises,  including a phenomenal speech by Mr. Brooch’s first cousin and best man. Seriously, it was the most heartfelt and heartwarming speech EVER!

Also, to our surprise, the dessert bar (which I realize I did not blog about at all—sorry!) was a HUGE hit! I wish I could have gotten a picture of the dessert bar at the end of the night because there was nothing but crumbs left!

We were also extremely blessed with an amazing turnout. We invited 120 guests (I never did an RSVP recap post either - oops!) and about 95 people came. That’s almost 75 percent! We were really, really happy. It didn’t feel as if anyone was “missing.” Our closest and dearest were definitely in attendance.

Best of all, we have received the most incredible feedback from our family and friends about the wedding. We’re heard (from more than one guest) it was THE. BEST. WEDDING. CEREMONY. THEY’D. EVER. BEEN. TO! Wow! What a compliment! *blushing*

Overall, the wedding truly helped me to realize how lucky we are to have the friends and family that we have. They are the ones that made our day perfect and I can’t wait to share more with you in detail! Thank you for all your kind comments and emails, too. The hive is chock full of cheerleaders! I’ve missed you all dearly!

With all of that being said, sit back, and get ready for a few last minute DIY adventures and then Brooch recaps! Any suggestions on a recap title? I’m leaning towards “Brooches Become One!” What do you think?

Love,

Mrs. B!
