I have not seen the official pictures yet, but there are
many unofficial pictures popping up on social media, and I will use some of
them, thanks all!
The preparation - Madison helping the guys with strange
buttons and pocket squares, Sarah helping Allison with makeup, Melissa running
around decorating tables, Madison decorating the arbor, a true family affair.
I thought I would cry, had tissues in my pocket, but it was
so much fun, the bride was laughing, the groom was laughing, and only got
serious once during the ceremony.
The raindrops fell mixing with the tears, tears of joy and
remembrance, as the story was told of the ring on her finger, the history of
Allison's grandmothers ring that was now encircling her finger. But mostly
tears of joy and laughter, so much laughter
The giggles and the nerves, the grooms ring almost going on
the wrong hand, when "pssst Kyle"
and he turns away from his bride and looks back to the crowd and several people
lift their left hands and whisper LEFT
HAND.
Allison held out hope for her outside ceremony even with
threat of rain, and the sprinkles did not dampen her mood or spirit, she said
it was "perfect".
The only time I did choke up a little, caught me by surprise,
when the couple was introduced at the reception - Mr. & Mrs…. Okay it is
real!
The party afterwards, the good food, good times, the little
ones running around, dancing.
The sparkler finale sendoff was the perfect ending to a
perfect day.
Congratulations! Kyle and Allison 02/11/2018
