Wedding Recap in Photos

Thanks for all your positive feedback on yesterday's post! Seems like we're all in the mood to get festive this fall. I bid you good luck in your endeavors to do so; please share any more fun fall ideas if they strike you!

And now, on to the good stuff. This weekend had been a long time coming, one I looked forward to for almost three years. Ever since my brother sat down next to me over Labor Day weekend 2009 and said, "So I've been dating this girl for a few weeks. She's really cool." I think part of me knew, right then, that she was The One.

And yesterday, they got married! I'll share more details this week, but let's be honest: you just want to see tons of pictures, right? Well, I am not one to disappoint, so enjoy!

Rehearsal:

My uncle insists that I post my appetizer plate (though I suppose I should note that Terry and I shared)

Another super cool DIY idea - tape the bills together and have the recipient pull them out in a long strand

Chris and Ashley bobbleheads!

A very special congratulations to the gorgeous couple. I'm so thrilled that my big brother found the girl of his dreams, and we are all so happy that Ashley is such a wonderful person. I'm especially glad to finally have a sister! It was a beautiful, fun weekend with a lot of love all around. 

Tomorrow (Monday), the happy couple are off on their honeymoon! Wishing you both a wonderful week of fun in the sun!

More to come about the wedding this week, along with some thoughts about starting October on a positive note. Have a great first day of the new month!
