Nothing But Blue Skies (and a Few Pre-Wedding Butterflies)

June 27th, 2009 was a perfect early summer day of bright blue skies. It's what our entire summer should have looked like: white puffy clouds, sun shining and the perfect temperature. So perfect in fact that the groom and his groomsmen just simply had to spend the morning golfing at the driving range and having a few drinks on the patio at one of the nearby pubs. And the girls? After a morning at the salon, they kicked back, leisurely getting ready for the day's main event. That is, until the nerves started to kick in.

They say that every great marriage, like every great love, starts with butterflies. And Kristy was no exception. From the morning preparations to her walk down the isle, our beautiful bride was brimming with these metaphorical winged symbols of excitement and nervousness. And though Ryan insisted that he was calm, his smile gave away his emotion when he saw Kristy walk down the isle toward him. Although the touching, tear-filled ceremony at Rebel Creek Golf and Country Club soon transformed into laughter and euphoria, I must say that it was incredible to witness these two throughout their event-filled and eventful day. With so much support from their friends and family, and so much love between the two of them, I can only believe that they will have nothing but blue skies from now on.

Thank you so much Kristy & Ryan for allowing me to share in your perfect wedding day. I truly felt like a member of your family, welcomed and included from the first moment. And if you ever need a big sister, I'm just a Blackberry text away.
