Mica & Mari

 My childhood best friend is getting MARRIED!!!!  Mica and I have a long and fun history together:  sister, one brian/brain, cheer leading, freshman college roomies, ADPI, back roads, my MOH, PMS (practically my sister), blow up backpacks, and I could go on for days.  I wish I had the yearbook from our Senior year.  It would bring me some good laughs looking at our page we did to each other. LOL  When I say we did everything together that is an understatement.  We thought we were so cool when we dressed "alike".  HAHA  You have to love growing up in a small town.  I am pleased to announce that she has finally found "the one".  Mica is so beautiful inside and out.  Brian brings nothing, but happiness to her and loves her as much as she does him.  She deserves it after the last two sorry "boys".  Brian and Mica have always had a connection, but the timing was never right until now.  Anytime I would run into Brian he would always ask about her and tell me that she was the only girl he would ever marry.  I am so happy to be your Matron of Honor!  Love you Mica Breeden soon to be Martin!!!! 

The Final Recap of our wedding weekend!

Geez I was doing so well keeping up with my blog and now it has been over a month. I wanted to do this so I would always have the memories since I started my blog after we were married. The day I have waited for my entire life has finally arrived. All of my bridesmaids which was a troop :o) met at Lovelace Cafe for our bridesmaid breakfast. My mother's best friends, my sister in laws, grandmother, and aunts were the hostesses. It got the day started off right. After breakfast we all went to the Rodney Mitchell Salon and had hair and makeup done. They served us Mimosa's while we waited. Jenni my hairdresser did an amazing job on my hair.

Now it was time to head to the wedding site the Governors Club"Pleasant Hill Mansion" to finish getting ready. I savored every moment because I could not believe this day was here. Once Mike and I were dressed the million and one pictures had begun. Mike and I decided to have our pictures done before the wedding. I had originally wanted to wait for our pictures after the ceremony, but a good friend of mine gave me a great idea. Mike brought me my bouquet in a private room. We got great pictures of the initial reaction and also some alone time before our big moment. I really like this idea because it's very intimate. I don't know how people have time after the ceremony to even do pictures. We finished with the pictures and it's ceremony time. Right before I walked down the aisle. I looked out and saw so many people I loved so much and how perfect everything was and just thanked God for everything. I of course started crying. My dad looked at me and asked if everything was okay and the only thing I could say was "It is all so perfect." I then grabbed his arm and started down the aisle to meet my soon to be husband. We had stringed instruments for the music and my childhood preacher did the ceremony. Jack my brother's son put on quite a show during the ceremony, Yote Mike's dog was a groomsdog, and the guys wore pirate flag stickers on one side of their tuxedos. Mike had a few requests along the way and I wouldn't have had it any other way. We are now husband and wife and the party has begun. Mike and I had a room setup for us immediately after the ceremony so we could eat and have a minute together as newlyweds. The food was wonderful and the band had everybody dancing. After we finished eating we cut the cake and had our first dance to "Tupelo Honey" by Van Morrison. The father/daughter dance was to "My Girl". The garter toss was caught by Mike's friend Hien Pham and my bouquet toss was a battle between several girls. I think a couple of them got a piece of it. Mike and I talked to guest and danced some until it was time to go to our hotel room at Opryland Hotel. The next morning bright and early we left for our honeymoon in St. Maarten. This was all made possible by both sets of our wonderful and supportive parents. WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!
