I'm so excited to share this wonderful wedding with you!!

The bride and groom were truly amazing. Everything was classic elegance from start to finish. The reception was an absolute blast. And, wait for it... there were only children everywhere! (I might be a bit dramatic.) I realize that given all the awesome details of the big day, this probably doesn't rate right up there at the top for most people...but to this only child, it was fantastic! (I feel a story coming on...)

I already knew this fun fact about Shannon because Dac used to work with her dad, and he always told me how Shannon's dad reminded him of my dad... oh you know, like really proud and really cool and stuff. =) At the rehearsal dinner, however, Shawn and Shannon gave introductions and told stories about each member of their wedding party. Anyway, Shannon started talking about her matron of honor, and how they were matched up as roommates in college since they both played golf. Well, Bertie (who is married to an only child now) just so happened to be an only child too!! She talked about how when everyone found this out, they were worried about them being able to get along with each other because, since they were both only children, they MUST be complete spoiled brats who MUST get their way and CAN'T share, right? WRONG! (I absolutely despise this stereotype, but I'll restrain from getting on my soapbox.) That couldn't have been further from the truth, because they are two of the sweetest people and they got along SO well, that they became the sisters neither of them ever had. Hooray for that!!! =D All this to say, it was kind of fun to be around "my people". Ha!

Now, then, back to why we're all here....the wedding. The girls enjoyed a day of pampering at the hotel. I got to hang out with them too, which was a blast. One of the girls asked if it was weird spending the day with strangers while they get ready. Well, when you put it that way....it is kind of strange, but it's really one of my favorite parts of the wedding day. I really get to know the people involved and since we always work with super fun people, there's never a dull moment and it never feels weird. In fact, I know I've said this plenty of times before, but at the end of it all, I felt like I had known Shannon for years. While the girls got glamified, the guys played some golf and hung out.

The church was full of candles and beaming smiles...like I said, it was beautiful. The venues were so full of character and had a classic elegance about them. After the ceremony, a stretch Escalade and a party bus took us around town to do some fun wedding party portraits. Then, there was plenty of eating, dancing, and photo booth posing to be had at the reception. Speaking of which, Dac and I hopped in the photo booth too. I'll have to dig out our pictures and post them for you so you can see just how nerdy fabulous we can really be!
