Friday - Wedding Day!

Thursday night, Sadie and I stayed at a hotel with Chrissie and the other bridesmaids so that we were close to the venue for the wedding. The hair and makeup gals came to our hotel room and we started getting pretty!

After - she was stunning.

This is Marie giving Chrissie her original wedding ring to wear for the wedding.

Then it was time for the wedding. I was in it of course, so I only have some pics from before and then during the reception. It was a beautiful wedding, and everything went so smoothly. Chrissie did a great job of researching the people she used, so everyone was great, from the catering (delicious BBQ!) to the flowers to her wedding planner (she was amazing). Tony did an awesome job officiating. Maybe he will start a business on the side. Anyone want to get married? And of course, I gave the usual bawling Maid/Matron of Honor toast. But oh well, it turned out fine.

This is probably my most favorite picture I have ever taken. I had Zack and Sadie stand next to each other so I could take a picture. Then they just started talking. It was the most precious moment, and I am so glad to have captured it!

The yummy and beautiful cake!

My mom - Thank you, Mom, for all of your help. We miss you!

This gigantic chess set entertained the boys the entire time we were at the reception. It was so cool!

Cake!
