The Best Day of our Lives



On Sunday July 24, 2011, Jed and I took the plunge and said "I DO!" It was a wonderful day filled with love and joy. I spent most the of the day getting glamified, while Jed went swimming at the lake with his friends. We both decided to do our first glance privately with our photographer before the wedding. It was the best decision we made because we both agreed it was our favorite moment of the day. Jed looked stunningly handsome, and Jed told me I looked beautiful and our photographer caputred that moment for us (which we can't wait to see in 4 weeks). We then continued our pictures together through downtown Spokane, which later took us down a very dirty alleyway to picture "something beautiful in something ugly," is what my photographer told me! I was totally fine with it, and the two bums were nice enough not to beg for change. After and hour down there, we decided to head up to Beacon Hill where the rest of our bridal party awaited us for more pictures! And we had a blast with that. Then came the ceremony. I had been having so much fun with my friends and family I forgot about the walk down the isle! =) Lucikly Beacon Hill (where we had the wedding) had a day of coordinator and kept very good track of me and Jed. While I was waiting at the back of the line, with my groomsmen, bridesmaids, and flower girls, I looked to my dad and said "oh, I am getting a little nervous, " and teared up. My dad comforted me and said he was here for me and Jed was waiting. As I got closer to walk down the isle, I looked around, absored the beautiful (but hot) weather, and felt so loved by all the people who came! When I my dad handed me to Jed, all I could feel was happiness! Joy and laughter filled me, and I giggled with love through our vows. Jed wrote the most beautiful vows I have ever heard, and I barly remembered what I wated to say for mine! Then after Jed and I were pronouned as man and wife, Jed picked me up, kissed me, crossed over the bridge, kissed me again, and put me down. We than ran down the isle hand in hand to Colbie Colliets 'I Do.' We signed our marriage certificates and the party started! We were re-introduced as husband and wife, ate dinner, and mingled with the guests. Truthfully the night went by so fast, before I knew it, it was cake cutting time, toast time (which the best man, the maid of honor, and my father gave the best speeches ever!), and then came our first dance. Jed and I have practiced a few times, but we gave it our best to Avenged Sevenfold 'Seize the Day' dancing the fox trot. I giggled most of the time and had a blast. Then my dad and I danced to Heartland 'I loved her first' and my dad and I talked about all the things I have accomplised through life with him by my side. Jed and his mother danced to Beatles 'All my loving' while singing to one another, it was so sweet. Next came the bouquet handoff, I decided not to do a toss, since most people do not enjoy it so I handed if off to my maid of honor, Ailea because I knew she has talked about marriage with her current boyfriend Charlie. It was pretty funny because we made it into a football play with a touchdown and everything! After some fun dancing with our guest, Jed and I decided to head to our get-a-way car and live happliy ever after! We left in an beautiful 67 chevy convertible that took us to our honeymoon suite at the Davenport Hotel. In the morning we ordered breakfast in bed and had lunch later at the hotel. Thursday we leave for our honeymoon to Hawaii for one week of bliss! Happily ever after begins for Jed and Loretta Evans.
