The pre-ceremony happenings

The week has flown by and with much idleness to tend to, I've not had time for blogging. The weather has taken a turn for the better and now the weekend is upon us with football and out of town visitors added to the mix. I've got to finish this quickly and go find nothing to do!

Lets get back to the wedding weekend...

Once we arrived at the plantation, it was time to get to work taking many photos. I don't enjoy taking photos when an official photographer is in the same place as me. It makes me very nervous because I'm always thinking he is thinking, "Put the camera away." That may not be true, but it's what's in my head. I don't want to have to get all serious with em and say, Uh uh. Anyway, I went to see Mollie in her beautiful dress and all the bridesmaids looking gorgeous as well, and then did a walk about looking for people to photograph. Melanie did the same and here's a compilation of the two sets of photos. 

The beautiful bride.

William arrived looking dapper.

Then it was time to go outside for photos. 

Beautiful! 

This is Mollie seeing Dale for the first time. 

And vice versa.

So sweet but I missed the actual kiss. Bummed. 

There are no more little girls in our family, only beautiful women. 

I asked for a silly photo. 

They obliged.

Olivia and William went on a walk about. 

Mom and bride. 

The bride's side. 

Pre-ready for the photo photo.

Dale was still not quite ready. 

Sibs all looking fab.

Once more. 

The cute ring bearer's turn with the bride. 

He seemed a little unsure. 

All of these are cute and therefore I didn't remove any. 

Back to the lovely ladies. 

Some (Carlie) didn't to commit to the silliness the second time around. 

This is as good a photo as I've ever taken. 

Love this one. 

These were too hard to choose which was my fave.

So I included all of them. 

And then it was back inside to cool off. 

Good looking father and son. 

William was hanging about. 

And doing it cutely. 

While enjoying...

The upstairs setting. 

Then he was averse to putting on his boutonniere.  

Then he was ok about it. 

Then he wasn't. 

Then he was.

Trying to stay cool before the ceremony, because it was a warm evening in Louisiana.  

Hmmm not too bad.

Looking good here.

It's the parade of married couples. 

Looking good cuz.

That's a good looking group of guys.

Plus one added to the lookers.

That's the pre-ceremony festivities in a nutshell. 

And now I'm off to do as little as possible.
