My Dream Wedding

I'm not one of those girls who's always dreamed of the perfect wedding, I just wanted a medium-sized wedding with all my family there. My family is very important to me!

My vision included me in a "white" dress:



And a matching-style dress for my daughter/flower girl:



A white gold 3-stone diamond ring (less than 1 Karat total):




A beautiful 3+ tier wedding cake:







The centerpieces:







Place Settings:

(I like the colors, and the cherry blossoms)




(I don't like the hot pink, but I do like the balls of light up above!)


And the invitations:


(I like the colors ... but I know I need to pick a theme)


I pictured my dad giving me away, everyone's eyes on me, celebrating me feelings for my significant other (in this case Preston) with my whole family.

I'm not looking for a huge, expensive wedding where everything has to be perfect and there are 100 people and decorations all over. I'm simple. I'm casual. I just want a fucking "real" wedding!

Preston and I decided to get married when we did (Friday, August 26th, 2005) because of many reasons; including the fact that we love each other, we didn't want to wait, and we though it would look better to the courts the longer we were married when we filed for custody for Gracie, Preston's daughter.

We decided to go to the courthouse and get married by the judge. We didn't want the courtroom too crowded, so we only invited Preston's Mom (Sheryl), his former Step-dad, and his sister (Shanna), my Mom (Trudy), Dad (Matt), Step-mom (Holly), sister (Morgan), brother (Justin), and cousin (Veronica).

We left out 22 people, so our real wedding would only be for 50 or less =)
Here are some pictures from our courthouse wedding:
