Last weekend my youngest daughter got married. Talk about an emotional roller coaster! I was the anxious and nervous mom, and I was also excited and so happy for her. Marissa married a great guy. Two years ago, when he ate a dried up, dead scorpion because the reward was dinner and ice cream at our house, I had a feeling that he was probably going to hang around.

He did... and we couldn't be happier for them.

The wedding was dreamy and romantic. The bride was stunning. And the groom looked pretty good too! We hired a photographer for the ceremony and portraits, but here are some highlights from the prep time and reception that I took and I'm so excited to share them with you!

Getting into a dress with miles and miles of material requires a lot of assistance!

"Ladies and Gentlemen... Introducing Malachi and Marissa Erdmanczyk!"

The cake was absolutely stunning!

Marissa chose a fun dance with Daddy, rather than a tear jerker.

Time to go!

This wedding was so much fun!
