Kacy & David got married! Which is the gene­ral course of things after you have enga­ge­ment pic­tu­res taken

I arri­ved, at what felt like, really really early to Kacy’s hotel room where she & the girls were get­ting finishing touches on hair & makeup

Another friend from High School — Elissa — was Kacy’s make-​up artist. In the below right pic­ture I, per usual, was obli­vious to some cul­tu­ral refe­rence from the 90’s and it cau­sed much laugh­ter among the mas­ses when I clue­lessly asked if it meant something com­ple­tely different.

Here Elissa is demons­tra­ting how to apply the blush to the pro­per parts of the face… until Kacy laughed too hard at being a blowfish.

All the girls had these ADORABLE shoes that also did a nice job of posing with the rings for me.

We hea­ded to Alpine Grove to do the get­ting ready. The weather gods were not smi­ling on us .…again… but jelly beans make everything bet­ter! Their tables were all a dif­fe­rent fla­vor of Jelly Belly and their favors were a mixed bag of all the fla­vors. It was really cute!

The wai­ting for and the get­ting ready.

The best man kee­ping the rings close.

2 firsts for me — pup­pies in the wed­ding party & the ina­bi­lity to make it through the reces­sio­nal without the cell phone in hand

He obli­ged me by put­ting it down for the family shot though. 

I loved the color scheme for the wedding!

I gra­dua­ted HS with all 3 of these peo­ple! They are a GOOD TIME! (We also had a good time shoo­ting their family pho­tos last year!)

Rain or no rain Kacy was deter­mi­ned to have some out­door por­traits (yay!) So after a quick shot inside with the dogs (because muddy paws on wed­ding dress isn’t the look we’re going for) — we ven­tu­red outside!

This hila­rious kid is a family friend and volun­tee­red to be the umbre­lla guy — bet­ween shots he would run in and keep them dry until I said “now” then he’d dash out of the frame. Except for this time. Then David kept her pro­tec­ted as they wal­ked back to the party.

And peo­ple were part­ying! Mad Libs were avai­la­ble at every table! 

I’m no beve­rage expert.. but I’m pretty sure that’s not root beer.…

It was very much a family affair with cutie patoo­ties every which way!

Oh — and MINI GOLF! The rains finally sub­si­ded and the mini golf & out­door acti­vi­ties were ope­ned up and taken advan­tage of!

Someone han­ded Kacy a balloon as she was about to go cut the cake and for wha­te­ver rea­son, she held on to it the whole time. 

And poor David was so dis­trac­ted by it he didn’t see this coming! (sounds good right?)

Kacy’s dad used to scare the buh­jez­zes out of me when I was a kid — but he’s really just a big ten­der teddy bear!

As my time wound down, the photo booth was just get­ting started!

I went to HS with these guys too — - or at least — - I think I did

What a great way to cele­brate love & family! (and drama — - there was defi­ni­tely a love of musi­cals underl­ying in there too)

Kacy & David will be appea­ring again on the blog in the near future.. they’re due with their first baby NEXT MONTH! We’re all anxious to meet the mini Minni!
