August 19th, 2006

Everyone help me remember that date.

Well the wedding could not have gone any better. There were a few SMALL things that went wrong...but overall we could not have been happier with the results!

My good friends and fellow photographers Gary Cosby Jr. and Emily Saunders documented that awesome day for us and here are a few of my early favorites.

The only time that I cried during the whole event was when I saw Anna at the back of the theatre just before she came down the aisle. I knew that Anna was going to be beautiful...but I was not prepared for just how beautiful. I absolutely LOVE this picture!















Here is an image of me on the phone while I was getting flowered up. I was either calling one of the vocalist....or a Greyhound...I can't remember.















Anna was able to go upstairs with all of the groomsmen and bridesmaids and relax during the hour before the wedding. I....on the other hand....was running crazy trying to tie up last minute loose ends. People kept asking me, "Anna is so calm...why aren't you calm?" I told them that it was because she didn't have anything left to do!















I included this picture of my niece Bree simply because it was so cute. She and her big sister Kate were flower girls for us.















There wound up being around 400 people in attendence. Who knew that we were that popular?...and by "we" I mean Anna.















We really should have kissed longer....you know...until people started to feel uncomfortable.




















We closed off the street in front of the theatre for the reception....it was great!




















The band I play in, "The Flashbacks", played for us under the marquee and there were tables set up all around the front of the theatre.















We hitched a ride in a friends old limousine....I have yet to find out what year it is...but it went with the theatre so well.














The whole thing...start to finish...took 3 hours. It seemed like 15 minutes.

I have tons of stories and photos from the honeymoon....some of which I will share on this blog in the weeks to come. Here's a preview....

* 20oz filet mignon
*• 1980's band "Poison" guitarist C.C. Deville
*• Uncomfortable room service attendants
* Uncomfortable room service recipients
*• My gross overusage of the 'thumbs up' gesture

3 minutes of my 15 minutes of fame

For those of you not familiar...there is a syndicated morning show that is broadcast out of Birmingham, Alabama called The Rick and Bubba Show. These guys have a bit of a national presence too due to appearances on various national news outlets. Anna and I have somewhat of a history with these guys.














I wound up on the air with them yesterday talking about the wedding. Here is a link to that audio.

Like I said....

...I'm crazy busy. But I had to take 5 minutes to put up a new blog banner. I ran across this photo on a CD that Dad gave me with pictures of me for the wedding slideshow. I absolutely love it. If you aren't seeing the new blog header...hit refresh on your browser...that should fix it.

Wish me luck...it's the W.O.W. (Week Of Wedding).

High quality memories

Well today is August 1st. T-minus 19 days before the wedding. More importantly...the month that football begins. I'm kidding. Football really doesn't get rolling until the first of September.

Anna and I had to go and get our marriage license last week. I stopped to take a crappy quality camera phone image of us in the mirror on the second floor of the courthouse.
















Because honestly...when documenting something as once in a lifetime as this...why take the photo with a good camera?
