i have been so, so, so, so, SO excited to share this wedding with you. why? well partially because christine&ryan are completely and utterly adorable and i love them. but mainly because their wedding can only be described as a fairytale. i don’t know if there’s one detail that has me so smitten. i was pretty much in love with everything i saw.
let’s start with the fact that christine looked like a total rockstar. then add in that they had a killer bridal party, including the cutest flower girl and ring bearer ever. then there was the color palette of gray and purple that had me swooning. and how about a gorgeous church followed by the even more gorgeous reception at themakray golf club. all of the leaves had turned and there was just a beautiful background of fall awesomeness.
and don’t even get me started on the dance floor. seriously, i could talk for hours about how awesome this wedding was, but i’ll just hush up and you can see for yourself.
to christine&ryan – what more can we say?! we are so happy for you! thank you for letting us be a part of such a great day!
