Behind the Scenes

For those who’ve never been behind the scenes of a wedding, let me clue you in — it doesn’t happen magically. Weddings take lots of preparation. Kelli saw her bridal portrait for the first time the Thursday evening before her wedding — and it had taken months of preparation to get to that point.

Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the behind the scenes pics from our wedding weekend. Let’s just say a wedding takes a village :)

Rene, one of Kelli’s bridesmaids, helped string lights before the tulle did its magic.

Here I am, the truffle commander, giving instructions to the troops on how to arrange the yumminess on the plates :) Pictured are my niece Joanna, my mom, and Alisha, another bridesmaid.

My nephew Adam’s wife, Lyndsey, and my sister Debbie were part of the bow brigade.

And bridesmaids Megan and Alisha felt the need to garland themselves before decorating the arch :)

During the rehearsal, Dad was all smiles. The next day held a few tears, though… :)

The final prep — sisters putting on their make-up before the big moment arrives. Not that long ago, it was all make believe. What happened?!

And finally the dress. Just about ready for her groom. And I’m so thankful to have been there for it all.
