after the ceremony, the guests were led to the dining room of the cottage while the people that were apart of the wedding were led to the giant waterfall just a few feet away for the wedding photos.

we picked jawn to do the pictures, since he was the best photographer that we knew. he was awsten's best man, however, so he had to take the photos while also being in some of them. we thanked him for his multitasking, but he told us it wasn't a problem at all.

we did a ton of pictures and it took about an hour and a half to do all of them. we did some with me and the bridesmaids, awsten and the groomsmen, awsten and i (of course), some all together, some with me and my parents, separate ones with me and each of my parents, awsten and his parents, and then just a bunch more of awsten and i. i truly was grateful for where we chose to have our wedding because the venue was absolutely beautiful.

once we finally got inside for the reception, we started off with awsten and i having our first dance. we chose lovers rock by tv girl since we both loved the song and agreed it was a danceable one.

"is now a good time to announce that i can't dance?" awsten asked me as we made our way to the dance floor. i let out a laugh.

"oh, i already knew that. but, if it makes you feel any better, i can't either." i replied.

"of course you already know. you know everything about me." my husband said. i smiled.

"that's not such a bad thing, is it?"

"not at all."

"how about this, if you step on my toes i'll step on yours?"

"deal." awsten agreed, the two of us then laughing. i looked into his mismatched colored eyes and sighed, happily.

"i can't believe this is real. i've never been so happy in my life." i gushed. awsten brushed a piece of hair that was in my eye behind my ear.

"the feeling is mutual, mrs. knight."

i blushed at my new name, knowing that i was never going to get used to it.

"it's going to take me a long time to get used to that."

"it's okay, we have quite a while."

"forever."

"and ever, and ever, and ever."

i rested my head on awsten's chest as the two of us continued to dance to our song. it was a sentimental moment, one that i would hold dearly in my heart forever. it still felt so unreal that awsten and i were officially married and we were going to be together for the rest of our lives. yet, i couldn't possibly be happier.

our song ended and then my dad approached us.

"my turn." he said, with a smile. awsten handed me over to my father and i began to dance with him.

i danced with a lot of people that night. my dad, my mom, awsten again, and then each of my friends, one by one. of course there were some upbeat dance songs that we danced to as well, some of them being absolutely hilarious.

"oh yeah, otto, get it!" i cheered our friend on as he busted a move to the cotton eyed joe. awsten was recording his friend while laughing.

"oh twitter is gonna love this!" he laughed. otto gave him a look as he continued dancing.

"you better not post this to social media! i don't even like going on there." he threatened his best friend.

"what?! you want me to post it to youtube instead?"

"you're lucky it's your wedding day, man!"

we all laughed and eventually the song ended. i walked up to my husband and took his hand.
