The Wedding

Joe and Lauren have been dating for over 7 years. We knew we would having a wedding eventually and Joe finally popped the question this spring. Since then Lauren has been planning the perfect wedding, and she accomplished just that.

Everything, including the weather, was beautiful. Before and after the rehearsal dinner and wedding nights the heat index was crazy hot, but for those two days we couldn't have asked for more perfect weather.

We had the rehearsal dinner at our house and it turned out wonderful. (Thank you Mary & Mandy.....I could NOT have done it without you!)

Lauren wanted a very simple, but elegant wedding and it was just that. A mix between Martha Steward and Shabby Chic, it was beautiful.  I normally always have my camera with me, but it was so busy, I didn't take many pictures which is upsetting. I will have to rely on everyone else to send them to me!

The wedding party:

First kiss (okay, first kiss as Mr. & Mrs.):

 

Ava was a ball of the reception, she can't walk yet, so she just was handed around. She was still up until 11:00 or so, then she just crashed and there was nothing that would even make her move she was so sound asleep.

Joe & Ava:

Matt and Ava:

  Sarah & Craig: (Sarah was a bridesmaid and the first one down the isle. She didn't make it half way up when she started crying. Her twin brother was getting married!)

This one was taken right before an unfortunate fall:

 

Congratulations guys! We love you and are so very happy for you and for Lauren to officially be Mrs. Finke!
