I’m Back… as a Married Woman!

by 149 Comments

Oh me… Where do I even begin? I guess I could come on here and say I’ve been crazy busy and haven’t had time to blog,and blah, blah, blah, which would be totally true. But to be honest, I just really wanted to take the time to enjoy being married, my new family, our new home, and really just LIFE that I kind of checked out on life for a little while. It’s been the best summer of my life, but now school is back in session which means I have the time to devote to my blog again! I’ve missed you guys! If you follow me on Instagram, by now you’ve seen pictures from our wedding but I figured I would share a few (ok.. maybe a lot) more because it truly was the most perfect day ever!  I’ve always wanted to have a surprise wedding, and with the help of the most amazing planner, Ivy Robinson, and swearing my family to secrecy, we almost pulled it off. To be honest, I think most people knew what was happening, but I just wanted the day to be about the love God has brought together and not seating charts, presents, and bridesmaids. Can you believe it was so romantic two couples got engaged?! I have to give our Pastor, David Chadwick from Forest Hill Church all the credit on that one though. I think everyone was crying after the beautiful words he gave.  I wanted all of our family and friends to show up wearing whatever they wanted and ready to have a good time at an “engagement party”. It was everything and more that I ever dreamed of and I have a million people to thank for making this the most special day of my life. But as a blog reader, I know you guys are here to see pictures so here ya go!

Also, a huge thank you to Tyler’s parents for letting us take over your beautiful farm for our special day! I know at times it seemed like a nightmare, but we pulled it off and I can’t say thank you enough! We love you guys!

And a huge thank you to every single one of you that made this day so special for us! I’m going to do another post last this week to give you all the details on my dress, accessories, and amazing makeup artist!

Your family is gorgeous, and I am so happy you found your forever after. I never had a doubt that you would, it just makes me happy that you did. Your hubby is gorgeous and Ricki looks just as happy as you do.

    Many many years of love, laughter and joy!

  15. Emily I am so glad you finally found the happiness you had been searching for. You are beautiful inside and out and Tyler is one lucky dude but I’m sure he knows that already. Little Ricki looked as happy as you and I’m so glad that you allowed us to see the beginning of your journey with Tyler and share this joyous occasion with us. I send a toast to you for many years of wedded bliss and all the peace, love and happiness that you deserve. May the lord bless you and guide you throughout this journey.

  16. Emily,
    After watching you on the Bachelorette, I am so overwhelmed with the woman you have become. I am so overjoyed that you are living such a profound and beautiful life. And how you are not afraid to proclaim your beliefs to the world. I recently got married as well, and it was also the most magical day of my life. It was a pleasure to watch a glimpse of your special day, and be reminded of the vows I also made only two months ago. May your marriage be as beautiful as your wedding day. And thank you for sharing such a personal day with us.
    God Bless.

  19. Your video and the pictures definitely brought tears. Everything- every detail- was so incredibly beautiful. You were a gorgeous bride, but what I loved most was seeing your sincerity and getting little glimpses into your heart. From one sister in Christ to another- I was encouraged by watching your video and how God has worked in your life and you have placed him at the center of your marriage. I watched you on the bachelor and bachelorette- but this short wedding video is hands down my favorite. I’m so glad you finally met and married the man God had for you. Many blessings and best wishes to you, Tyler, and Ricki! I will say a prayer for you as you begin this journey of marriage! Oh and yes- thanks for coming back on the blog! and for the jewelry sale! I just made a few purchases last night! Can’t wait to see more items- I hope you keep designing jewelry. I get so many compliments every time I wear your pieces. All the best!!! Natalie

  25. Welcome back and congrats Ms oh I mean Mrs. Emily!!! Your Wedding was simply beautiful, I’m so happy for you Tyler and Ms Ricki and pray you have a strong, wonderful everlasting marriage. As I’ve said before you are one of the very few “celebrities” I look up to as an inspiration and feel like I root for. Can’t wait for more blog post and updates from you. May God bless your new family. PEACE+LOVE (:

  27. Just beautiful, Emily! I am so happy for you. I keep praying that the Lord will send me the right man at the right time…I just pray to have a husband as close to Christ as Tyler is and a relationship where HE is the center. I have yet to meet any man that truly wants that. In the beginning, they say they want that…but it just doesn’t happen. I wish you a lifetime of happiness and I am so glad your blog is back!

  45. Emily, you are beautiful inside and out. You are my role model, fashion idol, and someone who truly inspires me. This video touched me so much and gave me tears in my eyes. I kept thinking, “she found a good one!” When a guy cries for you like that, you know he’s a keeper! The whole day looked insanely beautiful. Your dress was stunning, can’t forget your lovely bracelet stacking, and the fireworks at the end were top notch. You are the prettiest person on the planet! That was cute when Tyler mouthed I Love You to Ricki. I loved the importance to Jesus Christ this video and your day had. Bless your family, Emily! You are truly one of a kind!

Aside from your incredible beauty & fashion sense, I’m even more inspired by your faith, class, & how you lead your life as a daughter, mother, and now wife. I’m 22 and still continue to think of you as the best role model. Congratulations to you & Tyler! There’s no one more deserving & I’m so glad Jesus brought you two together. I hope he does the same for me some day. Best wishes & God bless.

  71. Congratulations to the 3 of you.May God bless you all with joy, happiness, and love, for a lifetime.Emily you looked absolutely radiant and gorgeous.Ricki looked like a little princess.Tyler looked very handsome and unafraid to reveal his true love for you and his promise for a home centered around our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.It brought tears to my eyes, and I had to smile, when your Pastor extended the invitation to anyone there who might be lost.It reminded me of my wedding 38 years ago, when our Pastor did the very same thing.I only would give you one word of advice, when there’s a difference of opinions, remember, when King Jesus is on the throne of your heart, there isn’t room for anyone else.God bless you all, linda

Congratulations you three and probably a few more to come 😉

  78. Dear Emily ,

    WOW. What an inspiration you are. Like most people I first saw you on the Bachelorette , at first I was drawn to your beauty and bubbly personality but what made me keep watching the show was the way you handled yourself , your daughter and integrity. You are a true lady. A term that has been lost to the cheap sensations and scandals of the modern society , but you truly embody it heart and soul. This wedding video has almost made me cry several times but it has also given me an infinite amount of hope. Hope that one day God will also bless me with such a beautiful day and I’m not just talking about the aesthetics but the beauty of the love that was shared and the way in which it was shared. I love how unapologetic you are about the fact that you are born again. It is so incredibly inspiring and refreshing. Thank you for being a stunning rolemodel for young adults like me and women in general. You remind me of the Proverbs 31 woman ; ” She is clothed in strength and dignity , and she laughs without fear of the future.” Thank you for being who you are and everything that God has made you to be , you inspire me so much. I pray and wish you and your gorgeous family love , blessing , favour and prosperity.

    Lots of Love
    xoxo

I watched you on the Bachelorette and was always so impressed with what a genuine, sweet person you were. You were always mindful and considerate of all the guys feelings. It is wonderful to see you and Tyler and how happy you both seem. I am praying that God will bless you both (and the three of you as a family) as you grow together and grow old together. You and Tyler make a Beautiful Couple and Rickie is precious! Keep Jesus at the center of your family and your eyes on Him. Wishing much happiness and joy to your new life together.

  104. I have loved from the day you showed up on The Bachelor. There was always something different about you. So strange how you want happiness for someone you don’t even know so badly. Looks like you finally got what you deserve! Awesome video. What a gorgeous day for what seem to be 2 very amazing and happy people. Your faith is inspiring and just shows all the more why you are so special. With Jesus at the center of your marriage- you can’t go wrong!

  108. Your husband is absolutely handsome, kind, loving, gentle, compassionate, …when he told Ricki he loved her was just heart warming. You are a very blessed woman to have such a wonderful man, to love you, forever.

  125. Emily, who sang the song that is played in your wedding video that you posted that says the words…When I’m With You. I love that song but I can’t seem to figure out who sings it. I have watched you on both bachelorette shows and loved you. I am thrilled that you have found the right person to share you life with. Congratulations!!!

  128. Emily,
    I have had such a girl crush on you since I first saw you on the Bachelor! A fellow Charlotte girl, how could I not be a fan? More importantly, your Christ-centered attitude and actions made me respect you throughout your seasons on tv. Isn’t God so good to us? He knew your plan the entire time and brought you and Tyler together, for His perfect purpose. I loved your photos & video, they made me tear up it was so special.

    Wishing you, your groom and your precious daughter a lifetime of happiness! xo

  129. I have to admit that your wedding was one of the most special I have ever attended. Not only for the beauty of witnessing your’s and Tyler’s vows, but the fact that his cousin, Frank, proposed to me on your reception dance floor. We were married last Saturday. I don’t think anyone got engaged at our wedding, too bad we couldn’t keep the circle going, but I thought you would enjoy learning that witnessing your marriage began another. Blessings!
