That wedding day had so much meaning behind it. Although, yes, an immense amount of planning was involved for the decor, food, and sequence of events but the thing I still can't wrap my head around were the amount of people that were involved in making that day so special. As I looked through the pictures so many memories began replaying through my head. Our entire families' communities, family, and friends did so much to make that the most perfect day. I feel so overwhelmed thinking of the unspeakable hard work my parents did to make sure that the wedding was all that I dreamed it to be and how giving Brock's parents were. I feel so blessed by the amount of items and services that our friends offered and provided out of their own kindness. I couldn't be more grateful for our wedding party who have been the most amazing friends before and after the wedding, we are overwhelmed by our growing friendships. Mostly, the faces that came to the wedding, those who traveled, those faces that I remember seeing as I walked down the aisle and that stayed and danced in the rain with us... all of these people I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for. Our wedding couldn't have been so special, couldn't have meant so much, and couldn't have been the wedding I always dreamed of with out them. God has so brilliantly placed these people in our lives, and we are so eternally grateful.
The best friends a girl could have!

Our amazing family who have shaped and molded us into who we are
I was privileged enough to have my Grandpa and Grandpa Spencer and my beautiful Grandma Rule at our wedding!
The 25 Kappas who came from Ireland to Seattle just to see me married off!
As I now sit in my house, that I have now almost lived in for a year, I absolutely can not believe where I was then and where I am at now. God has been so faithful in providing for Brock and I as we learn to be husband and wife, own a home, and learn to be on our own. It has been a huge transition time in my life. I went from living with 60 girls to one man, I moved to a new city, and graduated from college. What to do now? As we put our first year of marriage behind us, I so look forward to seeing what God has intended for our future.
The most perfect and influential group of girls, friends, and sisters!
Blake, Brock's brother and best friend!
Brock and I had the opportunity to celebrate our anniversary this weekend. We went out to a fancy-pants dinner and got to indulge ourselves in some amazing food. Over dinner, we talked a lot about the things we feel we have learned about each other and what we feel we have learned most about marriage. It is so sweet to see how God is working in and through out us and our marriage. Although we know there are many difficult times ahead I am so unafraid because I know that I have the best partner, team member, and team captain.
My dad, the first man in my life!
Savannah, my role model and encourager.
The most common piece of advice I always seemed to get before I got married was " Your first year is always the worst, it will so much better after that "...... WELL, if this was our worst year, I am really pleasantly surpirsed and thoroughly looking forward to the many, many years ahead.
Looks like my 'Happily Ever After' really did start exactly a year ago...I am one lucky gal thanks to Mr. Ingman and all of the people in our lives.
