Four years ago today, we said, “I do!” It was a special day, and it’s always fun to look back through wedding photos and relive these special memories.

I had dated several stinkers in the past, and at one point, I didn’t think I’d ever find someone like Chris Bender. Isn’t it just like God to surpass all of our hopes & expectations? I’m so thankful for this sweet, smart, wonderful man and I’m so thankful that he chose me.

Here’s to our first four years, and cheers to many more happy years together!

  When you haven't slept in four days, haven't eaten in three days and have been locked in a room with bickering bridesmades all day, you take a nap.

  My sister, Donna, is always the best at making me laugh in tense situations. She was my Maid of Honor and a lifesaver to me that day!

  Fun fact: I hate pictures, but our awesome photographer, Jessica Haigwood, found fun ways to take some cute photos!

  The saddest part of my wedding day was that none of my grandparents were alive to be there, so we had special seats reserved for their pictures and had them there in spirit.

  We didn't do a first look before the ceremony, so the first time Chris saw me all gussied up in my wedding garb was when I walked down the aisle. I'm so glad that our photographer captured his face when he first saw me.

  Fun fact: the lady who was in charge of decorating the church backed out on us the week of our wedding, and I had no clue what I was going to do. These incredible Kicks 99 listeners stepped in, decorated everything and it could not have looked more beautiful! We met these "Glampers" in line at the Guitar Pull camp out one year, and they have become great friends. Love you, Papalskis & Fowlers!

  Dub and his brother & a couple of our friends were on a mission to drink as much beer as possible, to make a beer can trail for the Kicks truck!

  Too-da-loo!
