You may remember a few months ago when I blogged about my cousin Allie’s bridal shower. Well, February 6, 2010, Allie and Neil were officially named man and wife!!! A beautiful, crisp Saturday morning at the Bolingbrook Golf Club became a ridiculously fun evening of partying and dancing the night away. It was SOO much fun to be all together as family, enjoying life and celebrating love. I know I know, I sound like a broken record when I say this, but seriously, I lurrrrve my family!!! Can’t get enough of them. It was an amazing day.
Allie and Neil chose the extremely talented Jessica Rifis of Passions Productions Co to be their photographer for the big day. She did an incredible job and I can’t wait to see her pictures! However, I couldn’t attend such a monumental event (first Fine cousin to get married- it’s a big deal lol) without snapping a few myself ;) Allie asked me to take some pictures of her and her bridal party getting ready, which I was honored to do. And of course, I couldn’t stop myself from taking a few pictures during the reception! I love dance parties :) Here are some of my favorites from the day. Enjoy!
The curly-headed bride!
Some finishing touches.
Stunning.
And oh yeah. The cookies. Mmmm.
I was obsessed with these little Coke bottles. Seriously, I drank one even though I wasn’t thirsty, just to say that I drank one.
These next two shots were taken with my Composer.
Dress detail.
Every princess deserves a crown. Or a tiara. Either way.
The rings! (And yes, the Coke bottle).
Becoming even more beautiful.
Gawgeous.
I love this one for some reason.
Ready to put the dress on and loving life!!
The Maid of Honor, Allie’s sister Emily!
Another Composer shot.
Getting ready for a wedding takes a lot of work! But it’s fun work :)
Emily’s hair turned out awesome!
See? Amazing!
As my mom always says, better safe than sorry! Haha.
Last but definitely not least, the mother of the bride, my aunt Jeanette!
Aunt J, you look lovely :)
We enjoyed laughs and a few tears during a stunning ceremony… and then it was party time! And what was waiting for us at our tables? None other than… more cookies!! (I’m not complaining).
Check out that cake!
Come on. If you know me, you know there was going to be pictures of the food.
Let’s just not even talk about how amazing this was…
These are my parents, still so in love. I’m blessed.
Mother and Grandpa of the bride.
Allie and Neil breaking it down!
Hahaha. Yes, I am related to these two…
The Father of the bride showing us how it’s done!
Love these shots. If only there was audio so you could hear the laughter…
Get it Uncle Lou!!!
Line Dancing. Everybody clap your hands!
I’ll end with a picture of the cake :) (If you’re wondering, it tasted even better than it looks.) Love you Allie and Neil!!!!
