Jessica & Thomas

A few weeks ago I traveled up to Mount Airy for Jessica and Thomas's wedding! I was super excited and had been looking forward to it since the day I met with them way back in May (before I even knew if I passed their interview process :P). The day started at a salon on the main street of the town, where the girls were getting even more beautified than they were naturally. Jessica was mostly calm, except for occasionally showing her excitement with a huge smile and a laugh with her girls. I don't know how she got through the day without being stressed out at all! It certainly helped that the day ran incredibly smoothly, since both Jessica and Thomas had everything timed and organized perfectly. Before the ceremony, Jessica and Thomas did a first look that was accompanied by the wedding party and most of their family. It was and incredible build-up, with people were cheering and laughing and shouting when Jess was near, Thomas was turning around, when the big reveal finally happened. Just typing it makes me giddy all over again! During the ceremony, the sun created a gorgeous pink and orange sky, and there was plenty of laughter, as well as emotional readings from both the bride and groom's mothers. It was only the ceremony, and the day already felt like it couldn't get any better. But there was still the night-time photo session! After some wonderful buffet selections (quesadillas, meatballs, and 7 layer dip! Yup, Heaven) the dancing and partying started. Now, I've been saying this whole time that Jessica and Thomas are amazing, wonderful, perfect - well - let me tell you: their friends and family are equally awesome. They NEVER stopped dancing, and are probably still there dancing right now. Nobody had to be told to get up and jump around, they just did and they all did it well. I still talk about the whole group learning to do the Wobble. Glow bracelets and necklaces came out later in the evening. And in the middle of all the fabulous chaos, Jess and Thomas were slow dancing together and taking it all in. It was the sweetest moment I've gotten to witness

Jessica and Thomas - AH! What more can I say? Congratulations and thank you so very much for letting me be a part of your magical day!

I know when men cry, it makes me want to cry, so seeing her dad tear up was one of the sweetest moments.

Some more photos from the wonderful Paula! :)

Thank you Paula for being such a wonderful partner in crime! 

The final song of the night started off as one of the great's from the soothing sounds of David Hasselhoff, to which Thomas serenaded Jess. :P

Luckily the ACTUAL last song was a little more....danceable, hehehe!

A special thank you to the following vendors!
