are such a unique and awesome couple. They have known each other since they were five years old. They grew up together and even took family vacations together. What a great day their wedding day must have been for both families. It was so fun to hear their story throughout the day. How despite living in different countries for a number of years they managed to keep in touch and when Rhea moved back to the US the sparks flew. The rest, as they say, is history.

So I think a couple who has know each other that long deserves some extra pics. Also my year is winding down and this is one of my last weddings of the year so I might as well show off a little :) Rhea and Tim – I hope Maui is wonderful. Thank you so much for your call the day after the wedding to thank me. Can you believe it? The morning after the wedding and Rhea is leaving me a message and emailing me to say thanks. What a great person she is. I know you will be checking the blog so be sure and drop me a note. Or maybe even send me a postcard, haha!!! See you in January for the Trash the Dress session. I can’t wait. Tim good luck finding a dress ;)

 

All the gals getting ready.
 

 

Sometimes getting in the dress can be an adventure.

 

Whew…Rhea actually had some major dress trauma a few days before the wedding. First the dress was too big, then when she had it altered they made it too small and she couldn’t get it zipped. But she remained calm throughout the entire deal and the dress fit perfectly.

 

Putting on the final touches.

 

Three bridesmaids and a bride.

 

Seeing each other for the first time.

A quick impromtu bridal with Rhea.  I can’t wait for the trash the dress session!

 

A final few moments together before things really get going.

Possibly the sweetest flowergirl ever.

 

Last minute pit stop.

The handoff.

Do you think these two are happy to be married?

 

The first dance.

 

Everyone joins the bride and groom.

 

Rhea gets a great BIG HUG from dad after the father/daughter dance.

 

Bridesmaid cheat sheet.

 

I mean this is the nicest way possible, but this had to be the all-time craziest bridesmaid I’ve ever seen. No really, she gave a great speech (all 10 notecards of it) and obviously really loves this couple. Everyone should have a friend like her.

 

Let the dancing begin.

 

Rhea gets down with the girls.

 

Time to cut the cake.

 

These two think they are sooooo sneaky!
