Nautical Wedding Part III

Marianne’s photographer was also her friend and completely captured the twinkle in her eye and her playful personality. Her pictures are so beautiful and need no introduction or commentary, mine, on the other hand, need all the help they can get as you’ll be able to see at the bottom of this post. :)Beautiful photos by Brittany Dow Photography

Now my photos.
Brittany has no worries.

These are mostly for family but I thought I’d share…

“The bride and groom’s future looked so bright…”
or it could have been the 100 degree weather and facing west.

My ‘three men and a cousin’.

“Someone’s got to try out the margarita machine”.
Famous last words by
~ Cousin Andrea and Grandma Jean

Their self-sacrifice was truly touching.The grand entrance of the sky diving Elvis minister?

The Groom ~ Kenny

The bride’s sister, Jen and MOH and next to get married May 2011.

What a lovely, wonderful day!

Wishing the best of everything for you Mizz and for your Boostsie Man.

Thank you with all my heart for letting me be a big part of your very special day!
I loved it. And you!

Love,
Auntie Pasta

Nautical Wedding Cookies
