I Now Pronounce you MR. and MRS. Macomber...



The Wedding Day

     In the morning it started out down pouring. The wedding was outside and wasn't until 4:56pm, but the forecast wasn't very promising. We prayed it would let up for the wedding. My mom never slept that night and with some of our super amazing friends were at the reception area at 4am setting up. It was still raining when I arrived at the hotel were all the girls were changing and getting ready around 3:00pm. Then at 3:30pm the clouds broke and the rain stopped and it was just misting which we decided to have it outside anyway. The day only got sunnier and sunnier from then on. It was the perfect temperature. Everything was better than I imagined it. With the help of friends and family mostly everything was hand-made and had a personal touch. 
    At the reception we had an agape feast which was all prepared by friends and family. The food was amazing, the company was amazing, and the weather was amazing. It was an awesome day and will always remember it. But by far, the best part is getting to enjoy a lifelong relationship with my best friend and true love.
One last hug before we walked down the aisle.

I just love this shot. the rose peddles were from the roses I would get from David every Friday (and still get every Friday.)   

David dipped me for the kiss.

Christen was such a help! She handed out programs and had people sign the picture frame as our guest book.  I was so glad she was a part!


they held hands the whole way. 


We took most of our pictures here. It was so pretty! 

David and his bow-tie. (Hehe!) Isn't he so good looking!


we walked to the reception since it was just across the road. We saw the swings and couldn't resist! 

the centerpieces.

we were nice to each other. 

The cake! It was red velvet yummy-ness, and that is coming from someone who doesn't like cake. It's really small because we had a whole dessert table filled with cheesecake, and any kind of pie you can think of!

My Dad sneaked a kiss in front of the camera.

This is one of my favorite shots of David and me. I had no idea our photographers were taking the picture. 

Our flower girl and ring/bible boy were so good. they stood up front the whole time  even though their moms were in the front row. They were adorable :)

The structure David and I stood in front of was built by my dad. 

My little cousin, Kellen, rang a bell and ran down the aisle with this sign right before my dad and I came down. It was too cute. 

I gave this handkerchief to my dad right before the ceremony started. It totally caught him off guard and my funny-always-joking dad was almost in tears. He showed everyone at the reception and even carried it to church a couple of Sabbaths after the wedding to show people who couldn't make it to the wedding. 

This was the bible McLane, our ring/bible boy carried down the aisle. It is really special to me because it is the bible my Grandma Van Gelder gave to me.  

These were the wedding programs all 200 were hand cut and folded. It was a lot of work and couldn't have done it without my cousin, Jessie, all her friends, and my good friend Jamie.

I love this picture of my sister, mom and I. This was taken on a balcony over looking the lake right after all the rain stopped before the ceremony :) 

My Mom and I. Without her I wouldn't have had a wedding. She found the location, arranged all the flowers places where everyone was staying, and got all the decorations. I'm so lucky she helped out so much!!

  1. I love those pictures. I think my favorites are the one of you and dad and the one of you and David kissing by the building. It was such a special day I'm so glad that everything turned out great! Blessings on your marriage and may you and David grow ever closer to God and each other. May you gain strength through hard times and may your characters shine even brighter. I love you Sarah!
