My niece got married yesterday! It's been a few years since we had a wedding in the family and everyone was really looking forward to this so much. OMG, I had almost forgotten how much work is involved in creating the perfect wedding! But all the hard work and attention to detail paid off big time yesterday, and even if the weather wasn't the perfect New England fall day, everything else was fabulous. To be quite honest, we like the rainy and overcast days too! No shadows, no squinting, no blinking... and we have to get even more creative with our shots too!
I went to get some pictures of the girls getting ready at the hairdresser's... Antenna in Norwich did a great job, everyone looked awesome! Then I ran home to get everyone ready at my house, it was great being a guest as well as the photographer, then went back for the official "getting ready" pictures. I had fun, even got to help get Erin and some of her attendants dressed.
Once Erin was dressed, she looked in the mirror and uttered these classic words... "I look like freaking royalty!" I just laughed, it's just so 'her' to say that! But she did look like a fairytale princess! Check out the images below! My granddaughter Katelyn was at the wedding, she's 2 years old, and when they left she told her mommy that she wanted to go back to the church to see Cinderella!! :-)
The reception was great, the dinner was soooo good! My brother and his wife made extra special arrangements to have the meal be fantastic, and it was! Yum! I could go so more lobster today! (Hey Cliff....hint, hint!!) With the wonderful dancing and fun...and with updates on the Red Sox scores (Go Sox!) the night was perfect... oh, did I mention the sky cleared to a full moon too??
Some images from the day, Macy... the flower girl decided she should do her own hair!
Dad checks the weather... agh! Green on the radar!
Did I tell you that Erin can even make a sweatshirt look good???
Something Blue...
We have a gold pin that every bride in our family has worn for generations, I even have the wedding picture of the original bride who received it as a gift from her groom back in the 1800's! I'll scan it and post it here in a future blog.
Here comes the bride!
It stopped raining just long enough to get the photograph that Erin wanted, the water fall at Wright's Mill in Canterbury.
I love umbrella shots too! :-)
There wasn't a dry eye in the house with the Father Daughter dance... I Loved Her First... My brother and Erin had worked so hard on the dance lessons together and it was simply beautiful.

And for Erin, Mike, Cliff, Cathy, Corrissa, Jeff and all the Red Sox Fans at the wedding, Go Sox!
Congratulations to Erin and Mike... you did it!!
