You are Cordially Invited......

TO A WEDDING.....

 In keeping with my daughter's love of games and our sarcastic wit, her RSVP was a mad lib, which we all gleefully filled out, and sent back to her ASAP!

Tyler & Ashley Herrinton came from Virginia and hit the ball out of the proverbial park on these pictures.    Words cannot express how thrilled I am about these gems.  I told you our pictures from our cellphones were delicious, but these.....well, these are priceless.

Hang on....

Cinderella didn't have a more perfect shoe.  And this covered the "something blue" perfectly.

Kip did all the flowers and seriously, the perfect touch on everything.

 Including her mama, who, after seeing these pics, is getting a haircut because I look like a long lost Beatle.  And not even a cool one. 

But these three????  Not a Beatle to be found!

The sweet couple wrote each other letters and gave each other a small gift, and Brandon thought

his was quite funny....

(he really DOES love his wife!)

Kip was over the moon ecstatic with her Sonic gift card for all the sweet tea her little heart desires (this guy knows my girl)

We all stayed in the same lodge/cabin, so it was pretty great timing that the guys got ready, without the girls running into them, and vice versa....

 And just WHOSE ideas were suspenders?????

 Though once on, they looked pretty dang spiffy. 

Thank goodness, Brooke (Brad's g/f) knew how to tie bow ties...

While upstairs...

 The beautiful bride was finishing up her makeup and gorgeous hair, and getting ready to walk the aisle.

But first, we had 50 buttons to button.  

 Ole Dad got first look, and his face says it all....

I absolutely adore this pic of Kip and her dad.  Bee.you.tee.full.

Now at the wedding site, Levi had decided that the empty chair boxes were the perfect "dressing" room.  He is a precious little person.

It was an incredibly beautiful morning, and Hallie looks like a million bucks singing her song.  I only wish I was talented enough to take the song she sang, and actually put these pictures on that soundtrack.  I've looked at the pics, listening to the song Oxygen by Granger Smith, and shed a couple of tears today, I'm not going to lie.

Levi is delicious, and took his sign carrying VERY serious.

He is so yummy, I wanted to squish his sweet face all weekend.  I love how he hooked his fingers through the lattice to hold the sign, I loved his hat.  I loved his little shoes.  I love his white blonde hair peeking out from under the hat.  I loved his confidence in striding down the aisle.   And he is totally making eye contact with "Uncle Brandon" in the first picture, like, "See what my sign says, dude? Here comes your chick".  

Here comes the bride with her very teary dad.  Just love it. 

 Such a joyful ceremony.

 Full of fun

And tears.  

 Simple

 powerful

and totally "Kip".  Classy, elegant, low key, and breathtaking.

Now I pronounce you HUSBAND and WIFE!!!

Now here's where the fun begins...

We are so used to seeing Hallie in volleyball clothes and a ponytail, we forget she's a gorgeous girl.

I truly have the most beautiful daughters, maybe in the world.  And the best part is, their insides are even more beautiful than their outsides.  Truth.

 And to add icing to the wedding cake, these man candies ain't so bad, either. 

They could be models.  Good grief.  

And put them all together???

Photogenic BLISS.

And add their unique, individual personalities, and we have a Winner.  

I LOVE this one...

and this one...

 and these......

and if this one doesn't scream, "Look what I got" I don't know what does. 

But the look of supreme happiness on both of these faces makes me smile ......

Seriously, how am I EVER GOING TO DECIDE????

Oh, here's my daughter in paradise, standing in her wedding dress.  no biggie.

The cake sharing started out friendly.....

 But knowing these two like I do, I knew it wouldn't take long....

and it didn't

 face smearing, take down....

followed with a smooch.   Perfection.

All too soon it was time for Mr. and Mrs. Hall to head to the airport for their beautiful honeymoon in Cancun, so, Kip donned her traveling dress and shoes, and out into a whirl of bubbles they journeyed...

 

With their fan club cheering them on......

It was truly...a....perfect.....day.
