Ben and Kelli WoodJuly 7, 2007
Ben and I couldn't have been more happy with our wedding! Although it was a hot 92 degrees, it was a beautiful day. The details all fell into place so nicely and we received many nice compliments on everything. Our ceremony was touching and the Lord's presence was very strong. We couldn't have asked for anything better. :)
Some things that were cool for me were the way the little things worked out, as I was saying. For instance, I ended up not having time to run down to the florist to see our bouquets and other arrangements before the wedding and they turned out perfect! Wow! I also wasn't prepared for the way the bright colors would "pop" against the periwinkle bridesmaid dresses. It was so pretty! Definitely exceeded my expectations. :)
One of the biggest blessings for us, besides being joined together by God, was that everyone seemed to have a wonderful time! I think every bride thinks at one time or another "will people dance? Will they have a good time? Will they stay or leave? etc." I couldn't have been happier. People loved the food, they said everything was beautiful, and they DANCED!! Boy, did they DANCE! =D It was awesome! People seemed to be having so much fun and it didn't start to clear out really till after 10:30. We were so pleased.
We've been home in Milwaukee now for two weeks after our lovely honeymoon in Bayfield, WI (put your left hand on the table or desk in front of you. Put the pointer finger of your right hand at the top right of the middle finger on your left hand. You've basically found Bayfield. ;-) ). We still have a sea of boxes from moving and wedding gifts to sort through, but it's coming along.
Please be praying for us as we transition and as we begin our lives together!
**Correction** Please be praying for us as we begin our life together! (thanks Jenny!) :)

that is -such- a cute picture of you two. :-)
my favorite thing about your wedding was how happy you were! you were the smiliest bride, so excited the whole time!! made me happy just being around you! i think that is partly why everyone had such a nice time -- you were contagious. :-)
ps. correction! now you have to pray about starting your "life" together, not "lives." how nice is that. :-)
Who took this picture?
Oh, Jenny you are right! Very good point... I'm going to change that. ;)
Abby - YOU took that picture! Thanks so much, it's one of my favorites so far!
We'll get the pictures from the photographer probably this week!
