The Sunday before Christmas Andy and I went shopping and ended up in the jewely store trying on wedding bands; dilegently trying to check things off the long wedding to-do lists. We left the store with two shiney new rings and headed to the car. Andy, who has been trying to convince me to elope in Vegas for months now, said "Well, we have everything we need now. Let's just go ahead and get married." To his surprise, I said "Okay. Let's do it at Christmas".
Once he finally started to believe me, he got on the phone with his family to see if they could make a spur of the moment drive down from West Virginia and I called my mom to see if she could pull off a wedding in four days. Needless to say, everything fell together.
Four days laters, Andy and I got married in a beautiful outdoor night ceremony at my parent's home. I had always wanted a night-time winter wedding and it was perfect.
This is right before I walked down the aisle.

The bird seed was a little more painful than we expected!

Me and my cousing Morgan, our flower girl. She did a great job!
Andy and his nephew Jonah. Jonah took the rings down the aisle tied to a fishing pole.
We danceed to "Moon River" for our first dance.
A happy bride
Didn't my mom do an awesome job!
My mom even found time to make our wedding cake.
And we had beautiful flowers everywhere.
