Who Says the First Year is the Hardest?

On Monday, May 22, my amazing husband and I celebrated our first anniversary!  Without being too mushy...I love him!!  He is seriously the best thing that ever happened to me.  Every love cliche you've heard...well that's basically how I feel about him.  They always say the first year is the hardest.  If that's the case...this outta be a breeze b/c this first year has been amazing!! 

In honor of our first anniversary and considering that my love for blogs began while I was planning my wedding.  I thought I would share a few of the details!

We married at a venue called Little Gardens in Lawrenceville, GA.  I wanted a "Southern" wedding, hence the antebellum home but I also wanted to get married outside.  In the back there is a BEAUTIFUL garden with a waterfall where we had our ceremony!  For anyone in the area looking to get hitched...definitely check out Little Gardens or any of the Magic Moments facilities.  They make sure that every detail is taken care of.  And they treat you like a King & Queen on the day of your wedding. 

  These are just a couple of pictures of me before the wedding.  I was super excited that day yet eerily calm.  I thought I would be a nervous wreck.  Instead, I was just ready to get out there and marry the man of my dreams!  

  

 

Our cakes were done by the lovely, talented, wonderful Eileen Carter of Eileen Carter Creations.  I couldn't recommend anyone better for your special day than Eileen.  She is reasonably priced and so talented.  Her cakes are delicious and she does all the frosting with buttercream instead of gross fondant.  The Groom's cake is the mascot for Coastal Carolina University where my husband went to college and played football.  It was made out of funfetti cake, per his request.  The wedding cake was white cake with Oreo filling.  DELICIOUS!!

This was upstairs in Little Gardens.  The bride and groom suites were upstairs.  The bridal sweet was BEAUTIFUL and peaceful while the groom suite was manly and modern.  This picture was taken in the hall.  Just through those doors is an amazing balcony.

This is a picture of my dads (yes, dads...plural) walking me down the aisle.  We all look so serious - not sure why!

And this is the love of my life when they opened the doors.  I just love that smile and those dimples.

Our first kiss as husband and wife!

And this is the moment I will never forget.  As we turned to walk back down the aisle as husband and wife he kissed my hand.  I will never forget that moment!

Mr. & Mrs. Cain with our amazing wedding party!  Such wonderful friends and family!

And I just love these pictures. They were taken on a bench in the garden.  I just love it!

After out fairytale wedding...we're off to the St. Regis hotel for our first night as husband and wife!

This wedding really was everything I have ever dreamed of!  Perfect in every way...most importantly though...I chose the right groom!

Pictures by Slava-Slavik!  I would recommend Slava and his wife Sarah to anyone looking for a photographer.  They do a wonderful job and they are such a kind couple!
