so i'm married. wowza. i'm a mrs.... a mrs. newman. so bizarre. but amazing. i love it. the whole experience was crazy. stressful for a while and emotional. and i guess that isn't anything new for me. i'm a pretty emotional person, but the day before, i was a wreck. i was crying over everything and i was thinking that there was not going to be any way that i would make it through the ceremony without bawling...but i did. i woke up sunday morning and felt great. i couldn't wait to walk down the isle. now, as i waited at the door with my poppa holding me, i was nervous. so much that when i looked down i noticed that my bouquet was jiggling all about. and then as the Psalters changed the tune and i started down the isle, i couldn't believe i had made it. made it to this point, with this amazing man. there was so much against us...well, mainly we were against it, our past, our flaws, our sins...all the multitude of them, but we made it to this point. all the honestly and forgiveness and love and respect and mainly the trust in Jesus brought us to this point. all these thoughts were rolling through my mind. and then i locked eyes with Steve and that was it. the peace that flows through me, the peace that can only come from Christ, but seems to flow from Steve to me. the knowing of acceptance of all my baggage and crap. the acceptance... just as Jesus loves me unconditionally so does Steve. and here we stood to make a commitment to God that we will be one. that we will look to Him for guidance and that we will work together for His will. whatever and where ever that may be. I remember being in awe of what Noel was saying, i remember Casey reciting 1 Corinthians 13 and Becky belting out a living prayer by Alison Krauss....i remember taking communion and trying to figure out the unity candles...i remember Steve trying to kiss me before it was time, and then the kiss and turning around to face everyone as husband and wife...and i remember booking it down the isle and Steve picking me up in this huge amazing embrace at the end...but although i remember all these things, it's all hazy. the ceremony is all blurry. i cannot wait to see the video Kite made...Steve and i can't stop talking about it. how the ceremony rocked. I always thought that my favorite part would have been the party. the reception...but the ceremony so far overshadowed the reception. i loved everyones participation. Noel, the Psalters, Casey and Becky were all such an amazing part of the ceremony and the presence of Jesus was overwhelming at times.
The reception was fun. i must say, some great music, great conversations, great booty shaking and once we finally got the video running, we were able to see the amazing slide show Matt made for us...for those who haven't seen it and want to, we'll hopefully be posting that on a site with pictures and such...
ohh...and i surprised Steve with a room at the Wild Goose Inn for our wedding night celebrations...when we got to the room we had fruit, imported cheese and chilled wine.. that's all i'm going to say about that night...
the honeymoon was amazing. the resort we stayed at was indescribable...we felt completely undeserving to be there. in typical kim fashion, i somehow managed to rip the bottom part of my toe off and get my first ever UTI on the trip...but other than that, and the camera breaking, it was absolutely
anyway, i just wanted to type down some of my thought before they get jumbled...and i wanted to say thank you. thank you to all of you that participated in the wedding, that are part of and impact our lives daily. and big thank yous to Jesus, who rocks our world everyday! amazing, that's all i can say. but if you're looking for an all inclusive, talk to us...we have a place for you to stay...spa style.
