On New Year's Eve 2008, we decided we wanted to get married on New Year's Day. We loved the idea of getting married on the first day of 2009, a year that will be the most important, special, and joyous year we've ever had.We went to the court house on the 31st to get our license and then we threw a fabulous Karaoke New Year's Eve party at Taylor's pad. On New Year's Day, we had no plan whatsoever! We called a few pastors that we knew but it was Taylor's sister, Carrie who really got the show on the road. She made one call and had a friend/pastor at the house within an hour. Amazing. We met with him and plotted our vows and the ceremony and he was so wonderful that he agreed to meet us on the beach at sunset (during the rose bowl!). That left us with about an hour to get ourselves ready and down to the beach.
I came up with an outfit out of things in my closet and things I ripped off of Carrie, tried to do something to my hair and face and then raced against the sun to get to the beach. We had a beautiful intimate ceremony on the beach (does it look familiar? Same beach where Taylor proposed!) We are excited to have the opportunity to share that special moment and vows with all our family and friends at our ceremony in September.

You left out the main part!... That I was the self proclaimed "Matron of Honor"!
Carrie
How rude of me! Yes, it was a very special day for Carrie. Taylor and I were happy to be witness to it.
