Wedding Day 😀

First a few “getting ready” pictures with Mama and sister(-in-law) Jess

And then down to business!


 

And then it was time for a wedding!

Most adorable flower girls ever

The beautiful bride

…and her beautiful rainbow wedding 🙂

The parents lit their candles and said their blessings.

Ben and Jess led a few lovely hymns.

The quartet sang…

Hannah and David said their vows…

Exchanged rings and a kiss…

Lit the Unity Candle…

And then, something many in the crowd were not expecting happened 🙂

FLASHMOB! Which, of course, I couldn’t take pictures of, other than the very beginning before my part, but according to Hannah’s blog, it looked something like this:

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Such a very Hannah-and-David wedding. <3 So many weddings are all-but-entirely devoid of personality, and could just as easily have been anybody else's wedding... not this one! It was colorful and classy and silly and deep and playful and beautiful and fun and oh-so-very 100% THEM. It was perfect. I had a blast! (And there was more fun still to come!) That was followed by a little cupcakes-and-lemonade reception, which I didn't get a good picture of, but Hannah's cousin Natasha sure did! So here’s hers:

cupcakes

There were a couple more, too… I don’t remember what all the flavors were, but they all sounded ridiculously good. There was a lemony one, red velvet, the blue one was almond, I think the green was something unexpected-but-awesome, and the pinky-purple in the back there was Earl Grey flavored and freaking delicious. My lovely family for the week made those, in fact! But I’m not being biased at all – seriously, favorite cupcake ever.

Speaking of my lovely host family, here they are!:

It took some doing to get Lydia to be still and smiling at the same time, but they managed. 🙂

David’s Mom talking to the guys while their photos they weren’t required for were being taken.

Hannah and her rainbow bridesmaids!

The Mells leaving… and making fantastic faces at my surprise camera attack 🙂 (I love this picture so much.)

This is a really long post! Go to Page 3 to keep reading!

      Thanks! Haha oh man, you’re right, there’s absolutely no indication it’s me in the blog itself unless you look at the About page! Whoops! Guess I better do something about that! 😛 Thanks for pointing that out Beth!!
