My Wedding Box

As promised, here are the contents of my wedding box. I know that a lot of people do scrapbooks, etc., but I went for a box. 


The first thing I uncovered was our CD, which I already shared.
  
Then I found our ceremony program. It was front and back. We had a high mass, Catholic ceremony, presided over by the Abbot of Subiaco Academy. There was a lot to explain!


I remember loving our monogram, and feeling very official when I saw it in print.

These were the little shiny pieces in my bouquet.

This was our rehearsal dinner invitations. We had our rehearsal dinner at The Captial Hotel in Little Rock, and Ashley's catered. It was divine.

This is the invitation for my bridesmaids luncheon at Brave New.

This is our ticket from our night's stay at The Capital the night of our wedding. I really like it because it said, "Allison Roberts, Honeymoon Night," as if that was part of my name.

This is our wedding invitation. Oh I loved it. You can't really tell, but it had a soft fabric overlay that I thought was really pretty. Chris and I picked out our invitations together, and we immediately agreed on this one. I think the invitation lady was pretty surprised I brought him with me, but it was great.

I was in the paper. I wonder what those other brides are doing these days.

This is a rose that I cut off of each of my bridesmaids dresses. I really liked the A-line dresses, but they had this terrible rose on the hips. I took a pair of scissors and cut those off pronto!

This is just a little look into my wedding box. I've really enjoyed going back through the box because I can remember all those decisions I made, and I remember how each of them were so significant.

I Still Tear Up

June 11th, 2010, was Chris and my 5th-year anniversary. Sadly, Chris is traveling for work, and so we spent our anniversary apart. But, we've pegged next Saturday as the day for celebration!

With a few days to myself, I've begun to pull out my box of wedding items and go through them. One of the first things I found was a video our photographer made for us as a surprise. 

We've watched it every year on our anniversary, and it makes me cry every time. There's no telling what kind of wedding I would plan today, but looking back, I loved our wedding. 

Here is our video. 

 


Are you a little teary eyed? I think what makes the video so touching is the song. I love the lyrics, and I think it tells the perfect story of a marriage.


Stained Glass Window
I'm singing a song to you. All day long if you want me to. 'Cause I wouldn't be who I am if I wasn't your man anymore. Your love is the rain in spring. Brings new life into everything we do.
If it wasn't for you, I'd be lonesome and blue that's for sure. So please don't ever replace me in your heart. Perish the thought of living if we should be apart. I'll give you my love completely and indiscreetly and tell the world who you are.
I'm singing myself to sleep. All my dreams will be yours to keep. 'Cause I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't your man anymore. Your love is the sunshine too.
A stained glass window I'm looking through. It's true, if it wasn't for you, I'd be lonesome and blue that's for sure.
So please don't ever replace me in your heart. Perish the thought of living if we should be apart. I'll give you my love completely and indiscreetly and tell the world who you are.
-John Davis

I definitely wouldn't be who I am today had I not married Chris, and that makes me pretty happy.
Stay tuned to see what else I find in my wedding box!


**Also, for my nerds out there, my CD was an auto-play, and I couldn't save the files, so I used Camtasia to record it playing on my computer**
