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.

Congrats Trent. Looks like you have good taste in women. Heres hoping you many years of wedded bliss. Remember a marriage is a partership. I have been married 42 years and my wife is still my best friend.

Re: We're Ring Finger Jointed (pics)

Trent, congrats. Seeing the happiness in your eyes reminded me of my own wedding. My best wishes to you and Christy.

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
and may the hand of a friend always be near

May God be with you and bless you;
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.

May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.



Btw what a beautiful Claddagh, my wife and I had ours custom made.

I was given this advice long before I even thought about marrying my bride. And let me tell you, if Erin wasn't by best friend this probably wouldn't work. Having a lover is great, but having my best friend as my lover

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Our warmest congratulations to the newlyweds! You two looked perfect for one another the day I met you (on the Shop Crawl starting at Scott Smith's Farm) and you've brought that prerfection to reality. Nice pictures and thanks for sharing them with the rest of the family!
