Jessica and Jason

My, my, what can we say? What a day! Yesterday we spent the day with Jason and Jessica. The day started at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Wichita where the wedding party prepared for the day. The ladies wore classic black dresses and the men were in tuxes with bright electric blue vests for a splash of color. After applying her make up, Jessica donned her beautiful strapless gown with souffle skirt and intricate beadwork throughout.
A special moment was when her mother and father came into the room with Jessica and gave her a photo of the day she was brought home from the hospital. It was accompanied by the bonnet she wore and a touching poem about the bonnet one day turning into a handkerchief for her wedding day that her mother read aloud. It was at this point Jessica tested the "waterproof" claim to her make up.
The ceremony was not the traditional Catholic wedding but beautiful all the same with rose petals lining the isle on the floor at the ends of the pews. Most all the flowers were made by Jessica and her mother. Jessica also designed her own programs for the day which doubled as hand held fans for a warm June day!
The bride and groom bid farewell to their guests by running through a tunnel of bubbles the guests blew their way and with the help of two "bubble guns"!

They took some photos at the church with photographers Gary and Amanda McCool and then a limo took the entire bridal party to Botanica for more photos as well as the Keeper of the Plains downtown! Everyone was great sports with the temperature rising!
Onward to the reception that was DJ'ed by Ryan Funck of Absolute Sound and an even more special surprise for Jessica during the toasts. Her best friend, Amy, was to be in the bridal party but the US Army had other plans for her and she could not attend. But after the happy couple was toasted to by the Matron of Honor and Best Man, Ryan introduced a special guest toast, via cell phone...Amy. He piped her voice loud and clear through his speakers and I don't believe there was a dry eye in the house.
The couple then shared their first dance and partied on into the night where the bubble guns made another special appearance!
To Jessica and Jason, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your very special day, we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We hope you enjoy your honeymoon and have a great time starting your lives together, you rock! Thank you Gary and Amanda for sharing your photos!
