The rehearsal dinner took place at the Aspen Meadows Resort in a room surrounded by windows and the most beautiful view I have ever seen.
We finished off the evening with a rowdy concert from Texas country singer Robert Earl Keen. We were all a little star struck. His music was the soundtrack to our high school days and I don't think any of us ever thought we would be dancing to his music at our best friend's wedding!
Finally, the wedding day arrived and we were all excited to see what was in store for the evening. The bride chose Chaparral Ranch for her wedding venue and it was spectacular. It didn't rain, but there were beautiful dark clouds over the mountains as you drove in. It added to the romance and excitement of the night. These pictures are outside the tent they constructed for the ceremony. Her colors were hydrangea blue, gray and white and they looked beautiful against the green backdrop of the mountains.
And then there was the reception ...
I love that picture because my sister took it just as they walked in to the room. She said people just gasped and got out there cameras. Those bubbles hanging from the ceiling are tiny candles.
The entrance was a large hydrangea arch.
The dance floor was only empty for a few seconds.
The bride wanted to end the weekend on a high note so we had nothing planned on Sunday, which was wonderful because we were able to grab a bite to eat and head home to our sweet little boy.
I missed him so much, but I also made sure to enjoy the opportunity to have a little fun. Hope you enjoyed my pictures from the weekend! Next up, I'm planning Edward's first birthday party. It won't be quite as fancy as this, but I'll do my best ;)
