They've Only Just Begun. . .

**Did you notice I only got to Day 1 of the Fabulous Reunion?  Well that's because I was frantically getting ready for the Big Day. . . Ashely and Marcus's Wedding Day and it finally arrived last Saturday.  Ohhh, it was so beautiful and really just perfect.  I am so happy for these two love birds.  There are pictures and pictures of this in blogland, so I picked some from my files that were hopefully a bit different than the rest.

Early that morning, all the sisters and sister in laws presented a "something old, something new" gift for the bride.  "Something Old" was a rose embroidered hanky from Grandma Vivian's collection.   As far as I know, Ashely never met her Grandma and it was instant emotion. 

the color of choice for the day.

Big brothers hold little sister. . .

Big brothers throw little sister into the air!  Big brothers are such a tease!

Are you feeling the romance?


The garden party that night was smashing!   The tables sat lake side with their mismatched place settings, Ella Fitzgerald wafted through the air.  The food was excellent. The bride and groom stole kiss after kiss and had dressed down for a more casual vibe (note rainbow huarache sandals--sure to provide plenty of magic).  It. Was. Perfect.

the bride and groom had their first dance after the moon came out. . .yes, it was a full moon.

One guess who caught the boquet.  .  . no pressure, babe, no pressure.

And OH those PLATES!  They were worth the effort.  Worth every single bit.
