& I'm loving every minute

"& with that first kiss I felt my life beginning. & the clock just froze, & the world stopped spinning. now the memory of that moment is never ending. you make time stand still.... & I'm loving every minute"   first dance :)

I love being married to Ben. I love waking up next to him. I love waking up and hearing him put the dishes in the dishwasher. I love making him laugh. I love when he makes me laugh. I love grocery shopping together and making dinner together. I love trying to both fit on our little 2 person couch. I love talking to him. I love calling him my husband.

And apparently I threw the bouquet to the wrong person... near the end of our wedding reception, Ashely's boyfriend Matt went up to Steve and asked to marry Ashley.... AAAAHHH!! :) Two weeks later and Ashley is engaged!! 

Tomorrow is Ben's 26th birthday! I don't know exactly what to do for a fresh husband's 26th birthday... I wish we had a second car for starters.

mr & mrs

I now present to you:

            Mr. & Mrs. Benjamin Z

We both showed up, we smiled, we looked good, we got married!!

It was sooo much fun!! The girls got together at my parent's house in LM the morning of the wedding and did hair, nails, mimosas, general getting ready. We have plenty of videos and pictures of the fun. I'm not gonna lie.... I was freaking out a tiny little bit-- I was getting MARRIED that afternoon. But by the time we showed up at the church, I was (more) ready to kick some butt.

So we get to the church, finish getting ready, and then it's time to take a walk. Just a little walk.... or in my case.... a power walk.

We sing some hymns, we take our vows, we exchange rings, we kiss. We are husband and wife :)

After the ceremony,  Ben and I ushered everyone from the pews. Then we hit up the awesome party bus that Ben booked for the wedding party transportation.

 We stopped at Bartel's Beach for some pictures....

And then we headed to Central Coast in Fort Atkinson for the reception. AWESOME time!!

We had a candy bar buffet, complimentary beer and wine, a photo booth, a kid's room with snacks and movies playing all night, an outdoor patio, and a great dance floor. Plus, the food was amazing. So was the cake.

And so, we danced the night away. We stayed until the end.. which was something we decided early on we would do... the night was too short, and it was our party. Lame? Maybe, but I would do it again.

My dress fits me!!! And it should be all ready for me to come and pick up in all of it's vintage lace glory at some point when I'm back in the LM/Madison/Sun Prairie area. I want to wear it around just for funsies. The bridesmaids all have their dresses too! Who would have thought the day would come.

Ben is working on getting a vehicle for the bridal party between ceremony and reception.... a stretch hummer kind of vehicle. Holy fun
