Lizz & Andrew met with me well in advance of their 09.09 wed­ding. Lizz’s per­so­na­lity is stu­pen­dous. She’s effer­ves­cent and kind­ness per­so­ni­fied. And Andrew soaks up every second of it.

When I arri­ved at her parents’ house, it was again obvious that Ame­rica run’s on Dunkin’s — more spe­ci­fi­cally — New England Bri­des run on Dunkin’s!

While Lizz was get­ting her hair did (yes, I said that), her sis­ter and crew birthed the dress down the stairs. It was quite the feat and there was no way for me to help, so I just had to take pictures.

As it turns out — Lizz’s mom makes cakes. And not just any cakes — abso­lu­tely exqui­site ones. I was lite­rally dumb­foun­ded when I found out she made both the wed­ding & groom’s cake! (Oh and they made all the bou­quets too. The details in this wed­ding are OTT!)

Once Lizz’s sty­lists left she hel­ped the other girls pre­pare. It was the most fun atmosphere of exci­te­ment and girliness.

Hi Lizz’s mom! You’re AWESOME!

There were some VERY ado­ra­ble flo­wer girls — this sweet pea was not too thri­lled with having to have her hair done, but she’s pretty plea­sed with the result! (And I helped!)

Meanwhile her youn­ger sis­ter was ready in a jiffy — that is after she got all her vehic­les to the star­ting line.

And here’s yet another flo­wer girl chec­king out the dress. I can only ima­gine what’s going through her head. I remem­ber being her age in my first wed­ding and won­de­ring what all the fuss was about. Boy do I ever get it now.

One tiny girl, one gor­geous (humun­gous) dress coming up!

Lizz — you’re beau­ti­ful. Like just out of a magazine.

While I’m posi­tive the dress weighed more than she did, she had NO pro­blem maneu­ve­ring that thing. Total ama­zing­ness. Although — I’m quite drawn to her sweet sweet father hol­ding her bou­quet and watching over her. (*sniff.tear.sniff*)

There were scads of chil­dren invol­ved with this wed­ding. And they were the best, most well beha­ved, coö­pe­ra­tive chil­dren ever. And OMG can you STAND the coör­di­na­ting?! (I can’t obviously. It’s too perfect)

You can tell how impor­tant family is to Lizz & Andrew. With a foun­da­tion like that they are bound to go far.

Steal the show why don’t you?

Married! (p.s. I love bub­bles, I highly recom­mend them at all occa­sions ever.)

Hello Bri­dal Party!

Candy buf­fet win!

The photo on the left is one of my all time favo­ri­tes ever. Everything about this wed­ding was thought out — down to the mono­gram on the floor. And there’s a story about someone slee­ping in the tent and lea­ving unmen­tio­na­bles, but lucky for them it’s been so long I can’t remem­ber exactly what it’s all about.

‘Oh no you’re not about to shove the cake my mother made us in my face!’

After for­mal cake since he was nice… enough… Lizz pre­sen­ted Andrew with his grooms cake. I think it was a hit

Ok, Ok, I know - it’s a big post already. But. But. THESE KIDS! AYKM!? Sus­pen­ders and a blonde curly fauxhawk?!

Uh oh — I think the girls are about to have a feather boa throw down. The boy on the right is hol­ding on to his stead­fastly and not going to get involved.

Wor­min’ it.

Honest to Pete I could have follo­wed these two around for days. And props!? Hey Mr. DJ — mad props man!

Not to be out done these kids had some moves to show off too!

Ok, ok, moving on. And did we ever move on. That’s right. We lim­boed. Ok, I didn’t limbo.. that just wouldn’t have been pretty.

And then just as my time with them was win­ding down, Lizz chan­ged in to this most stun­ning party dress!

Lizz & Andrew — I wish you the best that life has to offer. I was so hono­red to be part of your day and a momen­tary part of your family.
