There was laugher, there was beer, and there was nervous excitement as the girls curled hair, powdered faces, and pinned bra straps.
Erin, our resident make-up artist, gave Anna "the works":
Here's a shot of Anna showing off her beautiful dress:
I just love this next photo! So hilarious - Caitlin, Angela, and Karen helping each other zip up their dresses (those darn zippers were SO difficult to maneuver!)
Putting on the finishing touches... Anna's mom helps pin down the veil. The veil was Anna's "something borrowed" from ME!! I was so honored!!!
ah, the lovely bride!
Now that all the ladies were ready to go - it was picture time! It was fun goofing around with everyone during the hundreds of photos that were snapped by the photographer at the various zoo locations. Sadly, I only got one photo of the bridesmaids with my camera (and I forgot the turn the flash on for Brad!), but I stole two other photos from Angela on facebook...
Such a good-lookin' and fun bridal party!
The wedding went off without a hitch as did the reception. Dancing ensued, cake was cut, toasts were made... you know the drill!
This post would not be complete without mentioning how different it was attending a wedding with a toddler!! During Anna and David's first dance, I was outside with Luke while he pushed the stroller up and down the walkway. Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.
When Anna and David cut the cake, I was watching Luke climb up and down some stairs in front of the polar bear viewing area. Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.
(actually, I have a photo of that one...)
Luke usually goes to bed at about 7 or 7:30 - but since it was a special occasion, Luke didn't get in bed until 10:00!! That's very late for my sweet boy, but very early for exiting a wedding.
Such is life with kids! :)
We did manage to get a family photo (thanks, Angela!) and a shot of Luke and I before going back to the hotel.
Congrats to Anna and David Tuttle!! Now, when are you guys gonna have kids?! :)
