here is how it went down
Hey! I am Lynse Stevens (not legally yet, but close enough :)).
As many of you know i got married on April 5th. I had the honour of Anne Jackson coming to the wedding and she agreed to twitter the events of the evening. They are kind of laid out weird…start at the bottom and work up.
So that is a quick run down of the wedding. It was such a great day for me! I was pretty relaxed until the cake lady….which turned out to be totally fine and amazing!
I am so glad that 4 months of planning paid off…it was great and an amazing day!
As people were arriving i started to get nervous….not cause i was getting married, cause i was/am really happy about that, but because i dont like being the center of attention and i was about to walk down the isle in front of nearly 300 people. Oh Lord!! But i did that and it ended up being really special.
Chad had this idea when we were not even planning “our wedding” but an “event.” That the significant women in my life who helped make me who i am and have poured into my life up until now would meet me mid isle and each hand me a flower that they chose to make my bouquet. It was so so special to me.
I had my bridesmaids
mom(s) (mine and Chads)
a friend through email and blogging who has been there through some times and prompted some conversations that needed to take place, Anne Jackson,
my mom in birmingham, Gina
my good (and newest friend), Mandy
my friend and “older sister”, Emily Cayne Rowe
my councelor and friend, Sommer
my prayer warrior, Maria
and my amazing friend, and an amazing listener Karol.
It was so meaningful….and i have an awesome bouquet.
It was so fun! It was a lot of work and we changed locations the Friday before and then the night before changed the ceremony to the same place as the reception….a HUGE warehouse.
Our awesome photographers, Zach and Jody Gray posted some of the pics, they are in a sideshow and if you would like to see them
click here.
Then on the left click on “portfolio” and then “latest” and we should be the first one that pops up…there is about 50 pictures or so.
Enjoy! More about our NYC trip soon.

It was absolutely beautiful and wonderful, and any other ….ful word that you can think of. My tears were not tears of sadness but joy. You have grown into a fine young woman and you and Chad are starting your “family” on the right path. Enjoy each other everyday. The people of Birmingham are some of the friendliest I have ever had the pleasure to meet and that includes your new family. Appreciate them. All that being said……. I still need my invitation mailed to me so I can put it in my scrapbook!!!!! Love Auntie Deb
The green Chuck Taylors confirm your awesomeness. Much congratulations and best wishes!
