the moment is here!

the venue was absolutely gorgeous.
as was the WEATHER on saturday!
it had been in the 80's all week...but a *little* hurricane was blowing in and saturday was supposed to be cloudy and chilly (60's). we were just thankful that the rain wasn't supposed to start until sunday!

well, it ended up being SO gorgeous. i have no idea what the temperature was, but it was sunny and NOT chilly! it was PERFECT! God was SO gracious! (and chose to answer a TON of prayers by giving us that weather!)

this is as you drive up to the site (sunset crest manor for anyone around here...)

the house is where we all got dressed and where the cocktail hour was.
you walked down a little hill to get to the patio and barn where the ceremony and reception were.

she's READY! and she truly was this calm all day. there were really no "crazy" moments. a couple little glitches, but everything had plenty of time around it that it was fine.

his first look at his baby girl ready to get married...

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture! doesn't my mom look AMAZING?!?

i LOVE how they are all holding hands!

she LOVED her shoes :-)

while i was up at the house getting hannah ready, pat was with our kids.
my GOOD GOOD friend, jenny, and her husband, dave were the videographers for the wedding...she grabbed my camera and took the next few pictures! i LOVE them!!

i love this one - rebekah was handing out programs ...

here we go! we formed a circle around hannah as we walked down the hill so that no one could see her :-)

and here's THE moment!
HERE COMES THE BRIDE!!

{waiting/hoping for some more pictures of this moment...i was obviously NOT taking pictures!}
