RACHEL & DILLON

JULY 3, 2010
wedding - Indianapolis, IN

Happy Tuesday! I'd love for you to see the gorgeous, perfect wedding of Rachel & Dillon. The weather was sunny and beautiful, their details were amazing and well-orchestrated, and they had one of the most fun color schemes we've seen to date. As if their wedding could get any better, they have one of the most incredible stories we've ever heard, and! had one of the most beautiful, meaningful ceremonies we've ever seen. :) Go on, take a look!

A detail of Rachel :)

And of Dillon. :) His cuff links were representative of the two cities closest to his heart.
Lincoln, Nebraska; Indianapolis, Indiana :) These two were kindergarten classmates that went their separate ways. Years later they reconnected from hundreds of miles away and fell in love. :)

Lemon yellow, lime green, and classic black. SUCH a cool color combo :)

During the ceremony, right before they exchanged their rings + vows, Rachel and Dillon had their rings placed in a box and had them passed around to every guest in attendance. The officiant asked each person who held their rings to say a prayer for their marriage before they made that special promise to each other. Over two hundred individual prayers. So incredible.

Then, they broke bread and served each other communion during a special song. Then paused, forehead-to-forehead like this and said a prayer for each other. Humbling. :)

And then, they were married. :)

We went down to Monument Circle for a few :)

So incredibly in love. :)

Love these! We think the shadows are fun.

And! That you can see the boys in the background of this one. :)

Reception time. Destination: Omni Severin. Still our favorite place, ever :)

We might have gone a little bonkers on details here, but we just wanted you to see how fabulous it was :)

Speaking of fabulous, brides! If you want THE MOST DELICIOUS and amazing cake I have ever tasted in my entire life, go with Classic Cakes for your wedding cake. You will not be disappointed. Ask for our good friend, Ilene. She'll take care of you :)

Lemons and limes. :) Love, love, love.

Toasts :)

French fry bar! Ketchup + Cheese + Curly fries = best.combination.ever. :)

Ahoy! I make my first appearance on the blog. Andy snapped this one of my little hand in the middle of a fun party :) I could use another foot of height!

Most enthusiastic bunch of single boys we've ever seen The boy with the plaid tie (we'd be lifelong friends, I just know) took a dive and landed on his side, inches from my lens, in order to snatch the garter. Dedication. :)

SPARKLER! SENDOFF! :D

Seriously, you two. We cannot thank you enough for including us today. The day absolutely flew by and we were just so grateful to be a part of it. You were both just so full of joy that we were smiling the whole way home. We have no doubt that your lives will be full of happiness :) Thank you, thank you for everything. :) xoxo, A+A

DEZZIE & ISAAC

JUNE 26, 2010
wedding - Notre Dame, IN

Hi! We bring you the lovely wedding of Dezzie & Isaac. :) You may remember Dezzie from Amy & John's wedding a few months ago :) We were in LOVE with all of the beautiful BLUE details today! Gorgeous, perfect blue sky with puffy white clouds, beautiful blue Basilica ceiling, royal blue Monolo Blahniks, blue dresses, blue vests, blue ties. BLUE. :)

Here are those Manolos. And yes, they're the same shoes Carrie wore when she married Mr. Big If you know what I'm talking about ;)

Oh, the Golden Dome. How well we've gotten to know each other lately :)

Meet the gorgeous, the fabulous, the stunning Dezzie. :)

And her perfect bouquet.

The gentlemen, looking as dashing as they can :)

Isaac walked Dezzie down the aisle at the start of the ceremony. We've only seen this two other times. We think it's pretty cool. :)

Beautiful Basilica of the Sacred Heart, you never, never disappoint. :)

Taking a moment to pause at the Lady Chapel. So sweet.

Giving a blessing :)

MARRIED! :D

The rings. :)

Same moment, two views :) Mine:

Andy's. He wins. He always wins. :)

Do you see what we see? :)

We've been doing a lot of shoe shots lately, we admit. But! We have the!most! incredible brides who have worn such amazing shoes :)

On to the reception! :) All details by Cher Goggins of Merry Me! Events. Love her.

Brides: if you want a perfectly orchestrated day and gorgeous, fabulous details, hire Cher. Immediately. :)

This was a first for us: Snake Dance, La Vibora de La Mar. This is where the wedding guests form a line and pass (dance :) ) under the couples clasped hands. When the music stops, one person is captured in the newlywed’s arms and is tickled, hugged, etc. :)

Like musical chairs, but with people :) SO. much fun. So much laughter :)

Such a sweet couple. :)

Dezzie & Isaac: Thank you SO much for including us in your special day today. We had so much fun sharing in your ethnic traditions and learning more about your culture. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness :) And! Have a wonderful honeymoon! xoxo, A+A
