Perla, were such a beautiful bride. Super beautiful actually. With your height and immaculate skin you were so easy to photograph. Awesome.

Frank, when you cried as she walk down the aisle, that was kind of beautiful too Frank, I had no idea you were such an emotional person. Awesome.

Let’s all have dinner soon.

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted! Fear not, I’m still alive!

So this is Stephanie and Ernest’s long-awaited wedding, since they’ve been dating for about nine years.

What was super awesome about this wedding was that I was one of three people who knew Ernest’s super top-secret wedding secret. You want to know what it is? Of course you do. While Stephanie was walking down the aisle, Ernest sang “I do” (by 98 Degrees). Everybody was crying, or at least I think so. It was hard to tell because my vision was blurry. My eyes had water in them, I don’t know why.  It was definitely super sweet.

Then they actually sang to each other when they were at the altar, and it was the first time I’ve ever seen that at a wedding. Beau-ti-ful.

Anyways, super freaking awesome wedding and uh-may-zingly-gorgeous reception! I’m in love with the reception colors!! Congratulations you two!!! It’s been about time

I tell people my two favorite parts of weddings are the vows and toasts, but you know what? I think I really like a lot of things in weddings, like receptions as a whole. Really good receptions are so incredibly fun! I love the dancing, the performances, the games, the food, and the atmosphere.

With that being said, meet Jessica and Jordan. They had a very entertaining reception!

During the reception, Jordan was blindfolded and put in the middle of the room where he was told that all the bridesmaids and, of course, the bride would kiss him on the hand/ cheek. Then he would have to guess which kiss came from his bride. I remember thinking “OMG, what a lucky son of a…” Then I noticed that all the groomsmen stepped up to go in for the kiss instead. “This is going to be epic,” I thought.

The girls were clever! They would approach Jordan, who was still blindfolded, and swish their dresses around so that it sounded like they were going up, then quietly step back so that the guys could finish the job. It was pure awesomeness. I think Jordan may have thought he was clever by asking for another round because he couldn’t decide. The groomsmen were of course more than willing to abide, and that created quite a hilarious commotion among everyone. To top it off Jordan picked the wrong person, and when he realized that there were a bunch of guys kissing (and licking) his hand and face, it was worse than the walk of shame, but a whole lot of fun for everyone else to watch.

Congratulations to Jessica and Jordan!

These shoes are freakin’ cute. I’m trying to say that in the most manly way possible.
