Tears streamed unabashedly down her face.
Which made my cousin Matt get teary.
Their preacher was the perfect combination of sincerity and humor.
The Kiss.
The "Hooray we did it!" We are all so happy for them!
The girl side of the family in attendance minus Candi and Julie. We Wish they were with us.
The Happy Couple.
Here is the step father of the groom in his golf cart with his mother. So Cute!
The Stuff:
They had cold water to drink once you reached the gazebo- I thought this was such an awesome touch.

The program
The Flowers
Their equivalent to the "unity candle" was the vase with colored sand representing the blending of their lives.
The ring pillow
The card box
dinner place cards- so elegant

We made lots of wonderful memories during this lovely event! We are so happy for Matt and Katie. They are wonderful together and we are so glad we got to share in their special day. They both looked so amazing and the whole evening was beautifully planned!
I want to remember:
* Chris raising his hand when the preacher asked who was thinking about getting married.
*Mikey's back and fourth dance moves on the dance floor.
*Mikey touching the sweaty bald guys head on the dance floor and walking away like he wasn't the one who touched it and having the bald guy thin it was Tiffany who touched him.
*Having a great time with my cousin, Tiffany, as my "date"
*The brides made who wanted to ask Chris to dance but didn't because she thought he was engaged because he raised his hand when the preacher asked who was thinking about marriage.
*Dancin' the night away as an extended family.
* A fun night with family!!!!
One more CA post to go to wrap this up!
