What's up everyone,
I'd like to announce that Christy and I are now husband and wife!

We were married last weekend in Asheville, where Christy is from. I'm not much of a public speaker and generally don't like being in the spot light at all so I was very nervous going into it, but somehow, someway, I woke up very calm and at peace the day of the ceremony. I did get nervous as we lined up to enter the sanctuary, but after a minute or two the door opened and I saw Christy for the first time that day. Our eyes met and I was so overcome with emotion. She was so beautiful. If the aisle would've been longer I would've been standing in a puddle of happy tears. I wanted to share that because it was the most wonderful feeling I've ever felt in my life and I will never forget it. For the new folks, Christy and I met (in a way) because of NCWWer and it is entwined in our history. See this thread for that story.

Ok, ok, enough of my rambling. Here are some pictures.



Immediately after the ceremony (no photos during the ceremony)










Dancing at the reception




Cutting the cake. I really loved this cake stand. The cake lady's husband is a woodworker and made this cake stand. That's why we liked it so much.




Hasta la vista!









The view from our cabin outside of Hot Springs. We spent 2 nights there.




We chose claddagh rings because of our heritage and the unique symbolism.








Lastly, I'd like to apologize for not being on here as much lately. We've been very busy planning the wedding on top of working a lot, so there hasn't been much time for anything else. I've been popping in for a few minutes a day, but I'm very happy to be back. You guys and gals are second to none. Thanks so much to everyone who makes this site what it is.

Re: We're Ring Finger Jointed (pics)

Your gonna look back at your wedding photos and say "I love my hair" aside from all that other stuff like awe! and, my wife is so purdy! and, I can't remeber a happier time in my life! but most of all your gonna say "I love my hair." You may think this is strange now, but email me in 10 years, I betcha.

Congrats to you both! May marriage bring only more happiness to your famdamily!

(Sung to the tune of "The Beverly Hillbillies" by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs)

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Trent
On shop crawl date one day he went
With a girl named Christy he spent the day
And the next thing ya know they together wanna stay

Now the kinfolks said, "Trent, she's the girl for you"
And before you know it he was a' sayin' "I do"
Walkin' down the aisle to spend his life with Christy........
I gotta stop now 'cause I'm gettin' all misty.

Congrats to ya.
Remember, you can make a house from brick , wood, & stone
But you gotta use a lotta love to make it a home.
