The Start of Something Good

I'm Mrs. McSpanky!!!!

The honeymoon is done, and we're on our way back to 'reality'... being a Mom and a Dad. Being married, fixing an old house, bills and work and being SO COMPLETELY IN LOVE!!!

Monday was a holiday in Canada (Labour Day), and our wedding was simply amazing! I have so much to say and no idea even where to start.

So, this will be a blog of mainly photos, and we'll talk more during the upcoming days. Assuming I'm not too busy snuggling and cuddling with my sexy husband!

My first thought-- SO MANY people helped with this wedding. Doing more than I even KNEW they did. I am so humbled by the amount of work that went into putting everything together. THANKFULLY, I was fairly unaware of the 'issues' the morning of the wedding, as everyone took care of everything for me. So, for those who were part of this wedding-- whether it was as the kitchen people, or as a wedding planner, or an amazing and patient photographer, a cake decorator extraordinaire, and even a date of my brother's who set up the gym and didn't even KNOW me or Will... I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. My day with Will was amazing, and I'm sooo pleased and elated in how everything went.

Something old: The garter was made by my mother with fabric from when I was a little girl.
Something new: the dress
Something borrowed: my sister's makeup
Something blue: the shoes. I LOVE THESE SHOES!

We couldn't find the keys, so I was a tad late for the ceremony to start. But I got to the chapel (thanks Sin) and met my mom and dad there. My father gave me a blessing-- the last one as Debbi Barber, and it was a touching moment. Then he and my mother went into the gym, and the kids filed down the aisle. Will followed them, and trust me, he looked AMAZING!!!!

And then I walked into the chapel to music that Kare had MADE for me. It was a gorgeous song, with my sister playing her violin. They were fantastic. They also played a song I requested for during the signing of the marriage certificate, a song Will loved and didn't know I asked them to play. It was perfect, and I loved his little gasp when he heard them start playing. Tears brimmed his eyes, and it made me smile.

It was a sweet, SHORT ceremony, and then we exited the chapel dancing to music on our way to a wonderful, outdoor reception.Then, the party was over, and Will and I took the kids and got lots of photos with V done. Some really cute shots! I can't wait to see her pictures, I know they're going to be simply AWESOME!!

And Will and I, of course, couldn't leave the chapel with a decorated car-- NOT only because our car is currently rented because the van is in the shop being fixed from our deer incident-- but because that's just not Will and I. No, THIS is Will and I! :)

And, after a wonderful dinner with my family, Will and I took off on our honeymoon.

It all fell into place, and our wedding day was a perfect day of love, colour, happiness and family. I couldn't have asked for anything to be different or better!
