Christian and Tanya : Wedding Part 1

I couldn't have been more excited for Christian and Tanya's Illinois wedding this past Saturday. Mel and I flew out on Friday in time for the festivities to begin. I was looking forward to seeing their families again, seeing them become man and wife AND I was thrilled to be escaping the Texas heat for at least ONE wedding! It was a beautiful day for a wedding - Tanya had the day planned so smoothly from start to finish. I love their wedding pictures so much I'm dividing them into two posts. Today is the first half of their wedding day.

Christian and Tanya - you must know how much I adore you and can't be happier to call you friends. Have fun in Southern California basking in the sun and getting facials!

Enjoy.

My day started out with a kitchen full of girls getting ready! Loved it.



Her adorable wedding shoes and the John Deere bike - thought her dad would appreciate!
Some of Tany's details. The broach on the bouquet is her grandmothers. (or maybe great?)
THE dress. I've beeing trying and trying to remember the designer- all I know is she was the FIRST to purchase this dress fresh off the runway.
When I asked if I could take it outside I think her mom was a wee bit nervous - but don't worry I was extremely careful - and look at it outside! beautiful!





Tanya was the most beautiful bride!!


I loved these girls!!
Yeah they had a stretch Hummer limo taking them from place to place on the wedding day.
the groom. Christian also made a very handsome groom.
The suits were a gift for all the groomsmen and they look HOT - well and very chic and classy!


They had their names stitched into their suit jacket.







I loved their traditional exit from the church - all the guests stayed behind to see them off.
CORN!











love.
a little sneak of what's to come in the next post.....

love you guys!!
