I love these guys! :-D

Dave and Marie make such a great couple. You can tell how much they enjoy being with one another. It’s so nice to see a couple who is truly best friends like they are. I really felt honored to be part of their special day.

Ceremony

The wedding ceremony was held at the hotel and Marie’s uncle officiated the marriage. Here’s Dave and his best man (Mal) waiting for the bride.

Marie’s mom walked her down the aisle.

Reception

The banquet room for the reception was gorgeous! It was stylish, sophisticated, and romantic with dim lighting, votive candles, white roses, black striped linens, and splashes of deep purple.

The reception started with the introduction of the wedding party and then went right into Dave and Marie’s first dance as husband and wife.

Mal did an awesome job with his Best Man speech. He combined a sentimental story with some funny memories of the couple. He received lots of compliments over the course of the night.

For dinner, we started with a goat cheese salad.

(I actually drank a TON of water last night and woke up feeling totally fine this morning. Thank goodness! I don’t do well with hangovers. I’m such a baby!)

It was a fantastic wedding!! Dave and Marie were so happy all weekend. I loved seeing them enjoy themselves so much. Plus, they really know how to throw a party! :-D

Wow you look AMAZING in the dress! I love it. I also love the goofy pics of you and mal and the last pic in the bathroom. Speaking of people loving to be around each other, I think it’s so cute how you and mal seem like such a cute and close couple who can goof around together. Happy belated birthday & I’m glad you had a good time :-)

Hey Tina, just wondering what size the dress you wore was? I have a wedding coming up in September that I’d like to use the rental site for, but their sizing seems bigger than normal, so it seems confusing… but you looked absolutely stunning, so you must’ve figured it out!
