1 year Anniversary

Today is the official day of Steven and I's 1 year anniversary! A year ago I was in my suite at The Magnolia with my closest girlfriends and of course my mom completely sick to stomach. I can't describe the way I felt. It is a feeling that I know I will never feel again and only felt that day...all in a good way! I knew the whole day that once I got down the aisle to Steven it would all go away and it did! Steven and I have had such a great weekend of celebrating and today I am just so tired all I want to do is chill at home! We have talked about the best parts of our wedding and the things we would have changed. I can honestly say we had 1 heck of a party a year ago...the band played an extra hour for free because the dance floor was packed. I did not even do my bouquet toss or garter toss because we did not want to interrupt the party. My photographer did not even get our exit because the party went so late she had already left. The best part is while Steven and I went to The Jewel Hotel the party kept going at The Magnolia Bar till 5am!! That is something Steven and I wish we would have been apart of and of course I was the 1 that just had to stay at The Jewel that night...poor decision on my part! Walking into The Magnolia this weekend was totally surreal...I have such great memories there and the second I walk in it felt like it did a year ago. Everything looks the same and smells the same. The only thing is I got to wake up to my husband and not Allyson and Jess. Don't get me wrong I love Allyson and Jess but waking up next to my husband is a little better :) So here is to a look back. The 1st picture just makes me smile. I think back to how I was literally almost throwing up before I walked down the aisle and my dad pulls our juice and tums. The man had it hidden in his tux...he had studied up on how to be prepared and that was something he read. What a great dad I have. He kept saying, "This is what you love...all eyes on you...We are going to make this look good!" I am not going to lie I do like attention. When I look at this picture I think about how happy I was and I finally felt normal and knew I was not going to throw up.

Love this picture! This picture just makes me laugh. Steven loves to do things that completely catches me off guard and no matter if it is something that irritates me I never can do anything but laugh. Basically, when my cousin who married us said, "You may kiss your bride." Steven decided to try to 100% mug down with me and I was not ready. I went in for our kiss closed month and of course he was open month...I am pretty sure I kinda did my "little" hit on his chest right after too. So funny and just a great memory. At this point all I wanted to do was get to The Magnolia to see my dream reception room come to life. And the party finally starts. I was obsessed with everything it turned out PERFECT!! I wish I could re create the room and just sit there and enjoy it all over again! Many generations of Horton women. I wonder how this picture will compare 10 years from now when we are at 1 of the little girls wedding!

Steven and I have been blessed with the best friends ever. I know that I would have never made it through my wedding day without them or even my engagement. I love and cherish them dearly and I know Steven feels the same way. And not too mention I have some pretty hot bridesmaids :0 The secret in all these pictures is there are actually an addition 3 little boys that were apart of everything you just can't quite see them. Calli was pregnant was her 1st son Samual, Hope was pregnant with her 2nd son Ryder, and Amy was pregnant with her 1st son Preston. Classic picture during the Iranian Wedding Ceremony of my mom dancing. Our Beautiful Iranian Table. I loved this! The dances.... I had the absolute best vendors ever! They did such a fabulous job on everything. Kristen, Jessica, Audrey, Studio 54, Royal Lane Baptist, and The Magnolia....Kristen just made everything come alive with all the flowers! Happy 1st Anniversary to Steven and I! We just love our family and friends so much and it was so incredibly special to spend this day with everyone last year!
