Wedding Wednesday: Slide Show

Check baby check baby check one two....

I am checking things off this wedding checklist left and right and it feels GOOOOD! With just 3 months until the wedding I am really glad that I have been a good little plan-aheader! There is still a lot to be done, but it's all minor stuff and I have three months to do it!

Last week was all about getting pictures in order for our slide show. I know a lot of people think they're boring but this is something I absolutely wanted to do! I LOVE wedding slide shows! I love seeing baby pictures of the bride and groom and watching their love story unfold through pictures, granted a am a hardcore picture spaz...but still, I think they're cool. We are playing ours while dinner is being served, so all those slide show haters can eat instead of see super cute baby pictures of me.


Anyways, my friend Josh (who is married to my friend and bridesmaid Courtney), above, is the bomb at putting together slide shows. He did one for their wedding, another for a friend's wedding and put together this amazing movie of photos and home videos for their son, Brogan's first birthday. It was seriously incredible. Needless to say my fingers were crossed when I asked Josh if he would take time out of his busy schedule to create ours. Well, he said "yes!" and then the photo frenzy began.

Thanks to our parents I was able to get some great pictures of J and I growing up and then I was able to look through our personal collections for high school and college pics and of course I have 80 million of the two of us together!

I must say, out of all the wedding planning I think looking through old pictures of me and my honey has been my favorite part. As most of you know, I have known J my entire life and have had a crush on him for most of it. It was so surreal looking at pictures of J when he was a teenager, it felt more like I was looking back at an old crush than it did looking at my fiance when he was younger. It's so strange, it seems like it's two different JJ's....but somehow I got lucky enough to fall in love with my lifelong crush! Someone pinch me!

This is the pic of J that just kills me! This is the boy I fell in love with 20 years ago!


I won't bore you with all of the pictures, but I just can't resist sharing a couple of my favorites:

me & my mama the day I was born



I love my baby brother and I love pudding....not much has changed. I also think that I still make that face fairly often.



The bee obsession is nothing new
