This was such a great wedding! It was an honor to be a part of one of my very best friend’s wedding day. Monica and I met when we were freshman at Tech, and we have been friends ever since! Almost every one of my favorite memories from college has Monica in them. We both majored in psychology and took many of our courses together. We enjoy the same music, and so went to many concerts together. Road trips, shopping, late nights, Bible studies, study sessions (hah, more like talking sessions!), watching intramurals… I feel like I could go on and on recalling all the things we did together. I even had the privilege of being roommates with her my senior year of college. As excited as I was to be married to Rust, I did have moments during my first year of marriage where I missed terribly my two roomies — Monica nd Katie — and all the spontaneous fun and deep conversations we had during that year. I felt that this wedding was a closing to a chapter in my life (to be very cliche), but a fitting one. We are all married now!
Here are some pictures from the wedding, which was June 27.
Katie, aforementioned former roommate, took some awesome pictures for me during the wedding!
[Beth Pope, whom I've mentioned many times before, was the photographer!]
[This is my favorite picture Katie took during the wedding. Beautiful scenery, beautiful dress, beautiful couple!]
[Glee!]
[Monica & Mandy were actually roomies in college, too!]
[My spiritual mentor from college, Jodie, with her husband Eric and children Aubrey and Caden! We ended up spending a lot of time with them over the weekend, and we had SO much fun! I miss her!]
[Family picture--an actual good one!]
Doesn’t it seem like a beautiful wedding?
Beth has even more beautiful photos of the wedding! I am always amazed at her talent. (And, on pages 64, 65, & 66 there are some fun pictures of Rust and Anna–who came to the wedding with dried pureed squash on her face and her shoes on the wrong feet!!)
I actually thought hard about which way those shoes went on too! I suppose I guessed wrong. The squash however, I have no excuse for. At least her dress wasn’t on backwards…
