Kellee & Marcus' Wedding/Reception (Just a Glimpse)

This was such a wonderful evening & night! My best friend from college celebrated her marriage to her long-time love. Kellee & Marcus were actually married down in Antigua, and today was their ceremony & reception here in town. They used the Old Courthouse Building downtown, and I honestly never knew how beautiful it is inside until today.

I took hundreds & hundreds of photos, but I've already picked out just a few that really caught my eye:

 

 

Don't they make such a beautiful couple?

And one last picture of Kellee:

 

It was way too cold to take pictures outside, but we were blessed with lots of windows & open areas to let in the the glowing afternoon sun into the Old Courthouse. The whole day was just beautiful! This was a real gift since we just had an entire week of rainy, dreary weather. No sunshine at all.

I thank God for this amazing day, and I pray that God blesses Kellee and Marcus as they officially begin their lives together as husband and wife!

Jenny's Wedding (4)

I've been quite selfish in posting pictures mostly of my own little family, and many other details of Jenny's Wedding have gone unseen. So as follows are some of the other fun photos of the night:

The groomsmen on the 1st floor before the grand entrance.

The bridesmaids & groomsmen then heading upstairs...

To join Jenny & Brian's family and friends at the reception.

We went into the Grand Ballroom & after the wedding party made their grand entrance, I managed to get some really cute pictures of Jenny's brother, Jeremy, and his family:

 

Jeremy & his little flower girl, Ava.

 

The whole family

(Though Ava had no desire to look at the camera!)

 

Jeremy has such a beautiful wife & wonderful children!

 

And here's one of Andrew a little later in the evening

The night was filled with so many beautiful people & moments... Without too many words, I'll just share many of those I was able to capture:

 

The entrance to the Ballroom

And friends & family having a wonderful time

 

To present these are all the photos I've edited from Jenny's lovely wedding. Perhaps I'll find even more to edit and share, but for now I'm so very happy with those that I have. And I'll be eternally grateful for all the great memories I'll always have from this amazing night!

Jenny's Wedding (3)

This post is going to be a bit more selfish -- all the photos have my little Livie-Bug in them! Perhaps this is why I wasn't able to get more great pictures of the Bride & Groom... My eyes and camera were fixed on our daughter the vast part of the night.
Can you blame me though?  :o)

One of the 1st photos of the night...

Livia & her Papa Bill

Then Livia got to meet her 3rd [twin] cousins, Nora & Zane

 

Liv & Nora really hit it off!

Livia absolutely loved Nora's sparkly shoes

 

Nora giggled as Liv bent down time & time again saying,

"Pwetty shoes! Dey're pink an' got park-els... So pwetty!"

Here Livie is 'cheesing' it up for the camera

 

"Chseeeesssseee!"

Our daughter was even given a special bag, just for her.

 

Liv definitely had fun with the candy!

Brian and Jenny had the BEST wedding favors ever! They're both dentists, and in the little treat bags were a toothbrush, toothpaste, & floss. Great for all of us who were out of town, and such an awesome idea. And in Liv's goody-bag:  coloring crayons & books, candy, and even little-kid toothbrushes & toothpaste. It was perfect! It was so sweet of them to have such a cute, special packet for Livia.

As we were waiting for the food to come, Perry thought it would be a good time to try & get a good photo of me & Livia.

Liv was actually looking at the camera & smiling...

Just before this picture.

Darned salad -- came at just the right wrong time.

Here Livia is with her Aunt Carol & Zane

Would be a great picture if someone

wasn't stickin out her long little tongue!

I love this shot of Livie & her Papa Bill

She just looks so sweet!

Nora & Liv lovin' on each other again

 

Those girls were so cute together:  Hugging...

And Dancing

 

Grinning & laughing all the while!
I SO wish we lived closer.

Livia even got some very special pictures while we were there:

Being held by the Beautiful Bride...

 

Livia just loved Jenny's necklace (I did too!)

Jenny's jewelry was just beautiful. She told me that her wedding band

was specially made to go with her stunning engagement ring.

The engagement ring is actually an antique!

Later we went into an elevator with a mirror,

And Liv thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Even when the night was getting very late...

 

Livia had plenty of energy to dance with her Papa Bill!

Though, from the looks of this one with me...

She was really getting worn out!

(I'm sure she was praying not to fall asleep!)

As soon as we finally made it out to the car,

 

She realized how tired she really was!

Amazingly, she did not fall asleep on the way back to the hotel. She just cuddled and sang to her baby doll the whole way.
So sweet!

Til the next time, I hope everyone is doing well! Take care and God Bless!
