Caitlin & Chris: Wedding Photos

Life has been way too busy lately. This summer is flying by...we've already been to a couple weddings and now we're getting ready to move in a couple weeks. Yep, we bought a house here. More about that later--possibly after we move.

We went back home for Caitlin and Chris's wedding this past weekend. We didn't get there until after midnight Thursday night, then got up for the bridal breakfast Friday morning and spent the day at the church getting ready for the wedding.

It was a humid, but otherwise nice, weekend for a wedding.

We finished a few last-minute details that morning; luckily, there wasn't much to do since there wasn't a large wedding party and the decorations were minimal.

I preferred to enjoy the day rather than spend the entire time documenting it (that's what the photographer is for) so I didn't take very many pictures, but I'll share a few of the ones I did take.

The cake is over to the right. It looked great, as did the cupcakes, which I did not take any pictures of. The cupcakes were chocolate with cream cheese frosting and little pink sugar sprinkles that looked like pearls. I actually didn't try one, so I cannot say whether they tasted as good as they looked.

The tables were decorated with bouquets of pink roses and candles--simple, but elegant.

I went along when the couple had their professional pictures taken at a few different locations. I don't want to spoil the surprise when the professional ones are done, so I'm only going to share a couple of them.

...They were absolutely swarming out there.

The wedding ceremony was short and sweet.

It's over!

There was a reception afterward, which was fun but it would have been better if I could have gotten my speech out of the way sooner!

The getaway vehicle...

It was wonderful to be back at my parents' house shortly after 8:00. Having to be at a wedding until late at night makes for a looong day. Especially the next day when you have to spend more than five hours driving home.

I'll end here...for now. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time to post again soon.
