Blanding- Humphreys Wedding

Yesterday we were back at it again. After almost a year on the books, Andrea and Dwan finally were able to enjoy their day!

We started by meeting Andrea and Dwan at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Schulte where they both prepared for the wedding. Dwan arrived first with his two groomsmen and started right away with pictures with their photographer Tony from GS Memory Maker. Andrea and I hung out in the brides room relaxing. She and her girls enjoyed lunch and getting ready while the guys took photos. The girls wore deep royal blue dresses with beautiful pleated skirts and the bride chose a champagne colored strapless gown with a sweep train. The bodice had beautiful embelishments of beads, sequins and embroidery work. The grooms daughter acted as one of the two flower girls and a nephew played the role of ring bearer. Andrea was ready in record time, but being careful not to forget her finishing touches of her snowflake necklace and earrings. She also took time for photos with the ladies before the ceremony, but chose not to see her groom until she walked down the aisle. Tony also took advantage of the large arched double doors to the church to snap a shot of the bride and groom holding hands on opposite sides of the door without seeing each other, as we did a few weeks ago. We just love that shot.

Fr. Andy Kykendall was the celebrant of the ceremony. And right on time the double doors opened and Andrea and her father came down the aisle to see Dwan. They chose not to have a full mass and all the traditions continued at a quick pace so the bride and groom could head to the reception as soon as possible.

We met up again after photos in the church of the entire bridal party, at Eberly Farms where the couple was introduced and everyone was treated to a wonderful dinner of smoked chicken, pulled pork and sausage with all the great sides and fixin's. Andreas cake was traditional white with snowflakes in the frosting. Dwan ended up wearing some of those snowflakes as embelishments to his attire after the cake cutting! The grooms cake poked fun at his new father in law and his love for his favortie football team!

After the couple shared their first dance, they enjoyed the party through the night and visiting with numerous family and friends who came to share their day. It was a really nice relaxing day, in the world of weddings. No rush, no fuss, only a great time at the pace of the bride and groom enjoying all their guests.

Dwan and Andrea- thank you again for letting us share the day with you and trusting us with your memories, we are quite honored. We had a wonderful time and we thank you again for a quite awesome dinner, we appreciate it very much.
