Jessica and Ryan’s Wedding Day!

My final wedding of 2008 was the last weekend of November…and what an amazing wedding to end on!  As I drove that morning to Topeka, it was looking like a total downpour of rain was headed our way, not to mention it was the coldest day so far.  But when I walked into the amazing church and saw Jessica and her girls, I knew nothing would stop the joy she was feeling!  The overcast was great for me, and the girls in their strapless dresses were SO amazing for me in the drizzle and cold.  At the end I made the guys give them their jackets to wear for some pictures, and they were EXTRA happy… 🙂
These two saw one another before the ceremony, so we could have ALL family images done and wrapped up.  It was a GREAT moment — see the slideshow for more!

Ryan is a baseball player, so they had the great idea to do an exit under some awesome Louisville Sluggers!  I made the wedding party take them on the bus for pictures too, since they were so unique to them!
The whole crew WORKED it for me…again, in the uber-cold and drizzle.  Who knew that guys liked flowers so much anyways!
GORGEOUS!
Ryan’s parents own a bar downtown, so we had to make a pit-stop there to celebrate the couple on the stage…
On to the reception, where the DJ played a game where the couple responded by lifting the correct shoe in the air…great fun!
Finally on to the Mock Wedding.  It is a tradition in Ryan’s family to have a “mock” wedding where the essentially toast/make-fun-of the couple.  The guys dress as girls and vice-versa, and act out an exaggerated scene that was absolutely hysterical.  This couple actually met in Hawaii, even though they both lived/grew up just a few miles apart in Kansas!  One picture here, but lots more in the BLOG SHOW RIGHT HERE!
