the wedding! {part 1}

february 14, 2012.

the day I went from a single girl, a bachelorette... to a wife. from cecilia james to mrs. caleb zerhusan.

otherwise known as the happiest day of my entire life.

and yes, my wedding was on a tuesday. weird? yes. amazing? yes. valentine's day was our first date, and i just really love it. it's my favorite holiday, cheesy or not. my wedding day was the day of love, and now, whenever i look back on my wedding day, it will always serve as a reminder of just how much i love him.

the wedding was at carillon beach in panama city, florida. a beach wedding = my dream wedding.

we had flip-flops for everyone! it was a beach wedding, and i live my life in flip-flops anyway, so it was just a little something special we did. caleb was also wearing flip-flops {in black} and i was wearing gladiator sandals {2 of my brides maids wore flip-flops the others wore gladiator sandals...it was their preference!}

isn't it gorgeous? i love every single little thing about our location. the imperfect sand, the beautiful crashing waves, the bright yellow of the flowers, everything. 

our wedding was very intimate. under 100 people, just family and close friends.

 the ceremony was at 12pm, so my girls and i were up by 6am to begin getting ready! my amazing mom went out and got us coffee and doughnuts. 

my dress was absolutely perfect. a dream come true. very simple but ruffled on the top with a long train. 

my bestie lisbon buttoning me up! 

finally all dressed!

while we were doing our girl stuff, my handsome hubby and his guys were getting ready as well! although they got to sleep in way longer than we did. boys.

caleb. he's pretty much drop dead handsome. i'm so incredibly in love with him!

part 1 is complete. but don't worry! this was the shortest post. lots more pictures to come! next, we have {part 2: the ceremony} and after that, {part 3: the reception}.

love,
