This weekend was whirlwind.

I took a plane to Columbus, OH.

To then hop into my brother's car and

drive 2 hours south to Cincinnati, OH.

Then, I traveled to the rehearsal dinner.

Back to the hotel.

Woke up early to eat breakfast.

To then hop into my brother's car and drive

to Newport, KY.

We walked between Kentucky and Ohio.

Then had lunch.

Went back to the hotel to change for the wedding.

Prepared for my scripture reading during the ceremony.

Attending the wedding...and then the reception.

Danced the night away with good friends.

Woke up early the next morning

(after springing ahead an hour).

Ate breakfast at the hotel again.

Hopped into Trevor's car and drove 7

hours back to WI.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Yesterday was yet another summer wedding.

This time, for my dear friends Meghan and Ryan.

They have been together since high school and were made to be together.

I honestly believe that God created them to be the perfect complement for one another. It isn't often that I genuinely feel that way about a couple. I feel that way about my friends, Alana and Jordan, and I feel that way with Meghan and Ryan. It is such a blessing to be part of a wedding where you can hear, experience, believe, and witness the love that the couple has for each other...a love that only God can create and perfect in us.

Here are some pictures from the wedding/reception:

I caught/grabbed the bouquet (in my right hand) and am holding my bridesmaid's bouquet (in my left hand). I guess I'm getting married soon....

So, as Meghan and Ryan begin their lives together, I pray that God blesses them in their marriage. They are an absolutely beautiful couple and I am so excited to see where God leads them in their relationship with each other. Love you both! :) Love&Blessings.

Saturday, August 7th 2010 marks the (new) wedding anniversary of my friends, Nick and Courtney.

I met both of them at UW-Whitewater while going through undergrad.

I have been blessed to know Courtney throughout the years.

Nick and Courtney are a beautiful couple, who I know will serve the Lord and be faithful both to God and to each other.

It was wonderful celebrating with them on their big day.

I wish them the best in all the years to come.

I pray that their lives together are filled with love, happiness, laughter, life experiences, and good memories yet to be created.

Love you both!

I now pronounce you husband and wife! :)

(P.S. Notice the three-fold cord around their wrists from the passage in Ecclesiastes 4:12)

It was great to see friends from college after so long!

It was so great to spend the day with everyone.

God bless your marriage, Courtney and Nick!

A year ago today, one of my longest and greatest friends, Alana, got married to a wonderful man, Jordan! Since Alana and I have lived in different states since the end of middle school, I had only heard of Jordan when we caught up on the phone. I feel so blessed to be able to meet Jordan before he and Alana were engaged when I came to visit them in California a while back. It was so apparent to me that God had brought them together as a couple. Seeing them together was only more proof that they were meant for each other. :)

I was honored to be a part of their wedding last year. The ceremony was beautiful, but what struck me most was the amazing love that Jordan and Alana have for each other and for God. It has been hard being away from Alana for the past 9 years, but somehow we have been able to stay in touch throughout this time apart. She continues to be a huge encouragement to me and I love the moments we do get to spend together, in person or talking on the phone.

I am so happy for Alana and Jordan and want to congratulate them on their first year of marriage! I pray that God blesses them as they continue to experience life together.

I miss you and love you both! God bless!
