The wedding post
It's all over--time to lighten up
I was a bit overwhelmed once I started sorting through ALL the photos, looking for ones that I thought would give you a good representation of the day. With the time that I had, I hope you enjoy the ones I picked.
The bridesmaids--my beautiful daughter is on the far left
At the alter
The big picture--it's official, we cheer on the happy couple
Brothers--my oh so handsome boys
The very proud and very happy parents
At the reception
This wedding stuff is all fine and dandy, but there are more important things in life--such as hot wheels. Yes, these cars were in his pockets through the whole ceremony.
Cutting the cake--they look sweet enough don't they?
They do have a wild side though--
Making up is fun--and tastes pretty good too
The groom and mother dance--this is when I started to shed big tears as I tried to take in my sons whole life up to this happy point.
Vanessa's bouquet--stunning
Bouquets brought home from the reception
I had so much fun. Especially dancing to Love Shack by the B-52's. It was a day filled with lots of emotion--but it was all good. A handful of long-time friends came and it was so special to be with them, share memories and be completely silly on the dance floor. We came home very full and satisfied with all that took place--and tired too! Life will get back to normal now until September comes--then the roller coaster ride starts again. But that my dears, is for another post.
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES! Thanks Toni, for sharing your special day with us!

Wonderful pictures, it looks like such a great day! Congrats on his wedding!
My baby brother (24 years - okay, not a baby LOL) got married this past January. It was awesome and fun and he has a great family now. I wish your son and his new bride the very best.

Oh the pretty girls - the dresses - the veil - the hair - the handsome boys - flowers - beach - the altar - bare feet on everyone - your daughter - four brothers - mom and dad with their son - all so very beautiful. Really no words to describe how beautiful it all is. I know it must have been such a wonderful happy day for you all. :)
