A fabulous night! Introducing...Stuart & Lauren Baber

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging this past week--I have been out of the office, preparing for Lauren & Stuart's wedding! The wedding was held last night at The Inn at Carnall Hall. We had the blessing of the perfect spring day, with the sun shining down on us. Festivities provided the tent, linens, lighting, and decor. Shirley's Flowers provided the gorgeous arrangements. Molten Lava had the crowd dancing all night long, and Mario, our cigar roller, was a hit with all of the guests! Jason Hudson was the photographer, and Simple Pleasures provided the oh so cool get-away car.

Some favorite moments of the day:
1. Stuart & Lauren seeing each other for the first time and Stuart saying "hey baby!"
2. The father & daughter dance turned into the family dance, with both sets of parents and the couple all dancing together.
3. Of course, the Pi Phi Ring Ching!
4. Seeing "The Babers" drive away smooching & waving!

Here are some photos that I snapped throughout the weekend:

I would like to say many thanks to Lauren & Stuart, and their parents, Barry & Susan and Mark & Janie, for allowing me to be a part of this special occasion in all of their lives. Every day we worked together was so much fun! You challenged me to do and be my best, and I received a great experience in return. The wedding was wonderful, gorgeous, and everyone had a great time. Thank you for giving your children, friends, and family such an amazing day!
