As can be plainly seen from the photo on the right, it was a beautiful wedding. I'm a bit prejudiced of course when thinking the bride (and all) were very beautiful, but others agreed. We headed out to a local beach after the ceremony and before the reception for a photo shoot and here the bride is captured with her the flower girls. A three and four year old to be as well behaved as they were was quite amazing. They came to the house to get ready with the 'big girls' and were still going strong at the reception so had a full day. 
Everything went very smoothly on the wedding day and is captured in professional photos from hair and makeup in the morning, getting dressed even with the cats assistance at the house, interior and exterior poses and then shots of the men at the church and the ceremony itself. The receiving line afterwards and then off to the beach and in to the waterfront where the happy couple were persuaded for one of the shots to climb up into the big chair on Dock Street as you see on the left. Then a few shots outside of the Osprey Arts Center and then the reception. The meal was delicious, the wine worked out well, the speeches were good and we danced until closing with a good time had by all. And there are many FaceBook pics to prove it. The parents of the bride finally making it home by 1:30 a.m. and that by comparison was early. When the guests duffed in to clean up the venue we didn't argue.
The maid of honor and bridesmaid arrived home at 8:30 a.m. still wearing their dresses with messy makeup and hair and as the maid of honor stated "those dresses are comfortable but not for sleeping in" as they had crashed at the boyfriends house for a few hours. We fed a crowd of 45 brunch and there were some haggard looking faces partaking. Gifts were opened and then departures all around. I settled with the caterer that afternoon and it is all over but looking in the photo albums. More details when I'm more rested.
