One more thing!

O.K, O.K....I know I've posted about the wedding several times

and I just have one more post ceremony one to go.

After all, she is my only child and this was another one of those

snips of the umbilical cord.

I suppose that's why it's so long!

All of these milestones for parents to go through makes for many cuts along the way.

So following the ceremony and the few toasts in the yard, we all

piled into our waiting transportation to the reception...

A trolley car complete with clanging bells!
The kids (young and old!) loved it...

 

 Ready for the ride?

One more kiss!

All aboard!

Outside the reception venue I took a bunch of fun photos of the bridal party...
Jazz hands everyone!

Everybody kiss the bride!

Ah, so sweet!

Sharing a few more laughs

Bliss!

Best Buds!

All the pretty feet...

Now for the lads...

And altogether now!

 

Found this car in the parking lot...how fitting!

 

" And in the end
the love you take
is equal to

Lennon and McCartney

What a day....part 3...the nuptials...

Arriving at the house for the ceremony was my cue to leave the camera behind.

Aja and Paul requested that during that time, EVERYONE leave their

cameras alone and turn off their cell phones so we could all

be present with them.

This song played for them as the ceremony started.

They hired one photographer to take pictures.

Brilliant.

In this day and age of insta-everything, it was refreshing to be in a phone free environment.

So on that note, I will let every picture tell a story...

Love really does shine doesn't it?!
