here are some of the photos from kathryn’s wedding. their photographers were really good; there are some fantastic shots. they shot digital, so there are more than 800 images. it took me a while to get through them all. here are some of my favorites.
the wedding weekend was crazy but fun. we did all the flowers ourselves; kat mail-ordered them and we spent HOURS putting them together on thursday, friday, and saturday. they looked better than any professional florist shop could have done.
kathryn and the girls and i did lots of girly fun stuff, like getting our nails done, getting dressed together at her new house and having mimosas, checking for visible panty lines, etc. :) we had a very cold and windy rehearsal lunch at a park in richardson. luckily the weather for the wedding the next day turned a bit warmer and sunny with no wind. it was utterly perfect.
the wedding itself was fantastic. kathryn looked stunning, as usual. the weather cooperated, we all wore bare feet, doc looked totally hot in his official ushering uniform, i felt good in my dress (strapless! first time ever!) and not too cow-like, we all teared up at the look on brett’s face when he first saw kathryn emerge towards the aisle, the ceremony was short and sweet and included a handfasting ritual.
it was kind of a long time between when the ceremony ended and when we could go inside and sit down, eat, and dance. but once we did, the food was pretty good, the drinks were free, the wedding cake was tasty and so were the krispy kreme donuts that served as the groom’s cake, we all started bawling when kat’s dad and his barbershop quartet got up on stage and serenaded her and brett with “sunrise, sunset” from fiddler on the roof. i have no idea how HE kept it together long enough to sing.
kat and brett did a fake “going away” like doc and i did at our wedding. instead of bubbles, we all had fiber optic wands. actually there were some bubbles, too, if i remember correctly. brett planned their honeymoon secretly without telling anyone, but dropped a big hint at the reception: the last song they danced to before they left to go to their hotel was sinatra’s “new york new york”. and that’s exactly where they went!
