Mr. and Mrs. ...... YAY!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Rohring

We got married in Key West on Friday, June 25 at 7:30 p.m. on Smathers Beach. The ceremoney was absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL! We were surrounded by 24 of our closest relatives and friends. It was quite windy on the beach, but that didn't stop us from saying our I DO's!

Amy's viewpoint: I was anticipating this moment from the time Matt proposed. I could not wait to become his wife because he is the most important thing in my life. I love him so much. As the day wore on, I got more and more anxious. Della, my matron of honor, was by my side as we got mani/pedi's and relaxed in the hotel room. She comforted me and reminded me how great it was going to be as we got our hair and makeup done in the room. Finally, the time came to put on the dress. She and another friend, Tina, helped me get into my dress...yes, it took 2 people to get me in!!! After it was on, we rode to the location and I saw my dad. He looked so nice and seemed very happy! The first thing I said to him was "Have you seen Matt? How is he doing?" He laughed and said "He's nervous!" I heard the steel drums and saw Della start down the beach. I got butterflies in my stomach as I took the first steps....and then, there he was. I could not wipe the grin off my face. It stayed the entire ceremony!! It's all a blur, but the most important thing is that I married the love of my life, my best friend, and my favorite person in the world.

Matt's viewpoint: It went by way too fast! That's my viewpoint. All of the anticipation leading up to this most important day of my life made me a little nervous, not going to lie and say I wasn't, but it turned out to by even more amazing than I had imagined! The day was filled with a lot of little things that I had to get done to make sure everything went well that night, but it wasn't enough! I needed to keep busy at every waking moment to try to make time go by faster. It was fun getting ready and doing all the prep work, but the whole day, I just wanted to see Amy. I asked everyone that saw her how she was doing and it made me so angry that I couldn't talk to her or see her! I was at the pool with my best man John and his wife Tina and I knew she was up in our hotel room getting ready. I kept on looking up there hoping to get a glimpse. Didn't get to see her that day, but at about 7:45 that night when I saw her walking on to the beach, it was well worth the wait. She was the most beautiful bride I had ever seen! Not just in real life, but in magazines, movies, TV, it was amazing to see how incredible her dress, hair, everything turned out. Well beyond my expectations. Luckily I had gotten all of my tears out the night before when I had a little moment to myself because I would have cried like a baby when I saw her! I was so lucky to be marrying my best friend and an amazing person. The ceremony was a complete blur, but the pictures were really great, so I'm glad it went well! Really though, it was a very memorable moment for us and everyone there. I couldn't have been happier. I think my cheeseball smile in all the pictures explains my happiness!
