Photo shoot, round 2

Dusk arrived as our friends headed back inside. We asked for a shot of us in front of the Orangery.

Sarah and Terry then suggested we walk around for some more photos in the darker lighting. The lights in the Arbor were now on, so we wandered around.

The ever-popular “don’t drop me” pose.

Fun fact: our photographer did the engagement photos
of Mac’s former battery commander and his wife.

Our wedding weekend:
Friday, we rehearsed, relaxed over dinner, and hosted an open house. Wedding morning dawned bright and early, we got prettified, then had our first look. We waited for some guests and headed down the aisle. Our ceremony was short and sweet, and we finished our family portraits. We were introduced at our reception, ate dinner, raised a few toasts, shared special dances, and didn’t smash our cake. Our married friends enjoyed an anniversary dance, and we embarrassed our single friends. We rounded them up for some group shots then snuck out for some private moments while they danced the night away. We partied til the end, packed up the car, and enjoyed a quiet night in our home. Sunday, we said goodbye over brunch and drove into the sunset to an Outer Banks honeymoon.
