The Wedding
Part 2 of our 3-Day Weekend in St. Louis

Let's start with a few pre-wedding shots.

Beautiful gowns...


On the bed...

Bridezilla... hahaha... just kidding! She was the most calm, most at-ease bride I have ever seen (especially considering that we had an incredibly short time to get everything ready for it!)


And now, the wedding!

First off, I want to apologize for not having any pictures of the actual ceremony, which was breathtaking by the way. Since I was the Maid of Honor and my whole family was in the wedding party, I had to reluctantly hand my SLR over to a friend of my sister's. So what you're seeing here are a few pictures he took with my camera.

The wedding party at the receiving line after the ceremony.
From right to left, the Bride & Groom, Best Man Steve, Jon & I, Danielle & Matt, Felicity & Chris, Ring-Bearer Asja, Flower-Girls Sophie & Sydney:


Bride and Bridesmaids (yes, my dress fit... just barely!):


The Bridesmaids (Danielle, Patty & Felicity):


Bride & Maid of Honor:


Flower Girls Sophie & Sydney:


First Dance as husband & wife:


Father-Daughter Dance:


There was some singing...


A lot of dancing...


And a heck of a lot of hugging...
(here is my sister & I with our sweet cousin Olga, who came all the way from Puerto Rico!)



And then it got interesting.
Threshold smesh-hold! How 'bout I carry you over the ice cold fountain, honey?



We couldn't let the bride & groom have all the fun...


So what if we all had rented tuxes, made-to-order dresses and $100 up-do's?!? This was a sympathy soaking...


I stood on the sidelines documenting the festivities, but the second I set my camera down I was carried over the fountain too!!!


Did I ever mention having a crazy family?!

  5. Thanks for your comments, everyone! Yes, we had a blast. The fountain thing was so spontaneous but the perfect ending to such a busy and action-packed day.

    Amber, the favor boxes were actually for the bridal shower (not for the wedding) but they definitely were a HIT! I even made a few extra for the kids cause I knew they'd love them. :) Thanks for asking! :)
