Elizabeth & Matt

It was a beautiful, sunny day on Saturday.
Perfect for a wedding on the Gulf.




I got there plenty early enough - even before Matt arrived.
He's cool in his shades.


...and then the guests started to arrive.

This particular little girl, as adorable as she looked,


had a little secret...

oops. I don't think she wants anyone to know.


Anyway. Back to our wedding.
Matt, in his finery, awaiting his bride.



There's more in the slideshow. you'll have to watch to fill in the blanks. Click here to go see it. Wait. Read the rest of this post first, then go see it!

They said their "I do's," and then off to celebrate.
Thumbs up, Matt! You done good!



Now, I'm not saying this is what Matt was REALLY thinking, but it was one of MY favorite memories of the day.

"oh. wow. I ... did ... it ..."




"I REALLY did do this!"


"yeah, baby! I DID IT!!"


Is this a FINE looking couple, or what?




And then we went to the reception at Edgewater, and they had their first dance...





And their first meal as husband and wife...





And their first cake smashing...wait. see that white blob under Matt's tuxedo shirt cuff? It looks like Elizabeth has successfully thwarted Matt's attempt. No first cake smashing after all.



Okay, what's wrong with this picture? During the garter toss, the men usually come reluctantly, as if the outcome of this little tradition will effect the rest of their night. Or life. I dunno. Anyway, not ONE of them with their hands ready to grasp the garter which was flung in their direction!





Now the GIRLS, on the other hand. They're ready. One of the bridesmaids not only caught the boquet, but was showered with rose petals as a reward for her good catch.





Matt, desiring a moment alone with his beauty, stepped outside with Elizabeth. (with me looking on, of course.)




And the end of the night.

Well, almost. All I'm saying is that Elizabeth is going to GET you groomsmen when she gets home from Jamaica! You guys might want to start thinking of ways to kiss up to her now.



Happy honeymoon, Matt & Elizabeth. and a very happy life!
