The horse drawn carriage delivering me from my room to the wedding gazebo where David was waiting.
Horse drawn carriage with Moon Palace Resort (Cancun, Mexico) rooms in background.
Opening prayer by Martin Bolden, random missionary in Cancun who officiated weddings for The Moon Palace...he really did a good job, too!
Cutting of the cake, which by the way, had moist strawberry filling and was heart shaped!
Rice being thrown as we exited the gazebo. My mom and Mark were in attendance; David's parents and brother were in route! (Remember, we had a December wedding...well, flights were delayed and we had NO IDEA what happened to David's parents...flights arrived into Cancun without them...we had to make a decision about whether to continue or post pone the wedding as it was late afternoon already and not much daylight left...we went ahead with the wedding, still not knowing the whereabouts of David's parents or brother...after the wedding, much worry, and Stateside help from Debbie Duke, we found out that they were, in fact, still coming but delayed! So. We met them at the airport still dressed in wedding clothes!) Made for some funny memories. People at the airport cheered for us!
Picture session afterwards on the grounds near the gazebo.
I like this one with the ocean in the background.
Our hands with my bouquet.
Have I mentioned that it was a VERY WINDY day?! My hair and veil were everywhere!
Obviously, the sun was setting fast in these last few pictures. If you just looked through all those pictures, bless you! That was a lot of pics! Thanks for walking down memory lane with us. 
We have had a wonderful eight years together today!
We celebrate our anniversary on December 12th every year, as that is the day we were married...though our wedding was in Cancun, Mexico two days later! We both love the number 12, so we had our legal ceremony on the day we wanted for our anniversary. Due to my final exam schedule, we could not leave for Cancun until the 14th to actually have our wedding. Sure saved a lot of money by not paying all the legal fees in Mexico! Ha. The picture above is of Joe Brumfield, a dear friend and our marriage counselor, officiating for us in the faculty library of the McInteer Bible building on Harding University's campus.
Joe Brumfield is in the middle, with our two witnesses (aka, our brothers, Zac Watson and Evan Long) in the faculty library.
