Wedding Photography - Susan Whitley
Susan Whitley is the sweetest photographer you'll ever work with! I hate having my picture taken but with Susan I believe I could have taken pictures all day! She made the picture taking process a breeze!
Adam holding all the bouquets! My dress and all of my bridesmaids dresses were bought from Treasures in Atlanta. The lovely Williams ladies were so sweet and helpful in helping me choose the dress of my dreams!
I made and decorated my wedding cake. The topper we bought from Amazon and since we had a photo booth for our guests enjoyment we decided it would be cute to take a picture just like our cake topper.
Adam and I chose to have a "First Look" session. I got the idea from Jasmine Star (read this and this) and, I admit, convinced Adam it was the best idea! And it was! It was so special to be able to see Adam before things got super crazy! I even forgot Josh and Susan were in the room. I was excited about him seeing my dress, and to just see him. He started crying. Heavens, he has such a tender heart.

The groomsmen spelling out my name "L.Y.D.I.A" :)
My precious Flower Girl. She gave me "thumbs-up" throughout the entire wedding ceremony. Her dress is from Etsy.
The bridesmaids bouquets (I bought the bouquets from Micheal's and then wrapped the stems with black ribbon and tied a shimmering silver blow at the top).
Per Adam's request we took "football" pictures! It was a lot of fun!
Moments before the wedding ceremony starts.
The reception was a blast! Everyone dancing and taking goofy pictures in the photo booth and eating incredibly good cake! Best day ever.
Our first dance as a married couple during which I convinced Adam it was time to leave. ;)
My wedding day was incredible. I cannot thank Susan and Josh enough for coming South to give me such beautiful memories.
Wedding Pictures - Josh Jack Carl
I had the best photographers ever. I realize everyone thinks that but really I did have the best. My sister recommended Josh Jack Carl to me and we connected over Twitter. I asked him if he knew a female photographer who would be interested in working with him and he said he'd ask a friend and that's how I got Susan Whitley!
Here are a few of Jack's pictures. Adam loved working with him. He said Josh made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable and the guys just had fun! We appreciate everything Josh did for us and we LOVE all of his pictures!
A huge THANK YOU to Josh for taking such amazing pictures!
I'll post another blog with some of Susan's pictures.

Premarital Sex - Year Later
A reader commented on my last post and asked how I feel now.... a year later after having premarital sex.
A lot has happened in one year.
And it may take a couple posts to bring my life up to date.
In the mean time, how I feel? Sometimes there is still pain, a lot of pain. But there is joy and I am healing.
Last summer I went to a therapist and she really helped me jump-start my healing process by showing me the Love of the LORD.
I also started a girls-only book club called WOP (Women of Purity) and we read Emotional Purity. I had read the book before but never truly realized how important it is to be emotionally pure. And they all helped me heal even more.
I also met a man. A good man. A man who desires to make a vow before GOD and man to protect, love, cherish and not to ever leave me.
Having premarital sex with a man who wanted nothing more than to check off "virgin" on his sexual quest list left me scarred and on major defense when it came to men.
Adam has had to break down walls and he's done it with such love and gentleness that I know it's from the Father of Love.
Adam and I are getting married in August and my heart sings with joy. God has blessed me and He's healing my wounds.
And I am thankful.

Oh My, Oh My
Goodness. I am beyond stinkin' tired. Do you ever feel like cussing for no reason? Well, sometimes I do. Now is one of those times. I think it's because I'm so tired... I don't know. I'm tired of the rain.
Thursday I came home from classes packed and showered (completely dressed, hair and makeup done!) in an hour and then left for Toccoa. Stayed up late chatting with Bethany and Audrey (she is amazing! I love her!). By late I mean 11:30pm. I never stay up that late! Got up at 6 maybe 7am I don't remember. But we left by 8... I think. I can't remember. My brain is shot! I drove well over 22 hours in three days. Anyways, got to TN, hung out at their house for a while and then went to the dress rehearsal stayed up late again (did I mention that the time changes so my head was all messed up!). Saturday was the wedding. It was long, but fun. After the wedding and reception we stayed to clean up. It was cool. Then Sunday I drove another 10 hours home. Insane!!!
I didn't have my tea date with Miah. I hated it. I wanted to hang out with him so badly and more than just during the rehearsal and wedding. Which was tons of fun but I realized that, uh... there is no way I could see him as a brother. I haven't spent that much time with him in years and he has grown into an incredibly hott young man. Yeah. I just said that. So since schedules were crazy we're going to have our tea date next time I'm up there. If he didn't have a girlfriend I'd so be crushing...
I found out who CoolGuy is... and was very surprised! I would have never guessed. But it's cool (no pun intended). I've enjoyed "getting to know" CoolGuy through my blog. Sorry I missed you today but I left early because I had tons of homework.
Well, I'm going to finish getting ready for bed. My teeth need to be brushed. To my Girls - CoolGuy is right. You should comment! It would make my day!
