THE Wedding

After a solid year and a half of planning, my baby sister became Mrs. Nicholas Ruth on Saturday.

The day went beautifully, and we will all remember it fondly forever. Along with my own wedding, of course, it was one of the best I've been to.

Stacey's MGB stood proudly at the entrance, with "Welcome" bunting hung from end to end.

These first photos are all from the wedding photographer, who also is one of Nick's good friends and served as a groomsman.

Melanie's attention to detail was astounding. Every single table was covered in framed photos, quotations, tea lights, vases, etc.

Stace drove the happy couple away as they sat on top of the car.

You can see, it was a family wedding for us!

Nick's cousin's girls helped as the other flower girl and junior bridesmaid.

Melanie's friend and bridesmaid Shannon painted these gorgeous Disney scenes on the bottom of her high-heels.

I was happy to have a spot next to the bride at the head table. The framed picture in front of them was drawn by our Aunt Julie.

I had to give a speech! Auuuggghhh! It went well. I'm so proud of Melanie.

Stacey made this hanging polaroid-style frame for people to take photos in.
Our friends JT and Jim, along with Colleen and Rigo, Kelly and Brad, and Melanie and David were all in attendance, as they've all watched Melanie grow up. It was great hanging out together during the reception.

Cora was a dancing queen!
