Melissa and Dustin’s wedding was SO MUCH FUN.  We love them, and it was obviously a sentiment shared by everyone at the wedding!  I have no idea where everyone got their energy, but they managed to dance and dance and dance WAY past the normal point of collapse!  It’s safe to say that Melissa danced her pants off…or at least her dress.  By the end of the night her dress had “pockets” and a whole new layer in the underskirt!  It was like a trash the dress photo shoot…on the wedding day!  And THAT is fun!

Danica of Make-Up Envy provided the beautiful make-up!

You know how we love happy brides?  WE LOVE HAPPY GROOMS, TOO!

How cute is Melissa?!

Here comes that dancing!

Melissa’s family has a tradition of hugging a balloon and then sending it to heaven to remember Melissa’s nephew.  Melissa and Dustin borrowed the tradition at the wedding and it was incredible to be there at such a tender moment.  I cried taking the pictures, reviewing the pictures, sorting the pictures, editing the pictures and now again while posting them.

The photo booth was a crack up…props to the guy on the right for the most creative use of a yarmulke!!

Melissa and Dustin have already seen their shots (that’s how behind this blog is!) but I will take this opportunity to thank them again for sharing their day with us.  We love fun weddings!

And a “where’s waldo” behind the scenes shot of me to leave you with…

(PS–I was SO JEALOUS of this flower girl and her amazing dress all day.  Nic spends a lot of time laughing at me because it’s never the bride’s dress that I lust after–it’s ALWAYS the flower girl’s.  My taste never evolved past second grade.)
