The Big Day... Part 1

So, as you have read in a few previous posts, Skip & I had the pleasure of attending Amanda & Shaune's surprise wedding.

We had a great time, and I wanted to share a few pics taken before the ceremony - I want to post so many, this will probably be in 3 parts over the next few days. So, without further ado, here are some getting ready pics...

Enter Amanda's mom, who thought that she was coming to the farm for a family BBQ (which would explain all the people and cars) - what she didn't know was that her girl was getting married that very same day. This is her wondering what the heck is going on and Amanda explaining...



Surprise number two...




Amanda's mom helping her get her necklace done up...



I really like this shot, it looks so romantic and glowy...




Some sweet light flare and the groom to be...



The men... Amanda's dad's bike - I am really not very knowledgeable about bikes, and so I do have to apologize for taking pictures on the non-pipes side of the bike...




The boys having some fun at the playground - this thing was not meant for four grown men, but at least it stayed standing, and they had fun...



This is one of the two ring shots, this one is Skip's - he didn't want to touch the rings for fear of dropping them in the tall grass, but even more than that, he didn't want ME touching the rings... I would never... intentionally. :)



Part two to come some time tomorrow, and don't worry this is just a VERY small sample of what is to come - once I have them all done, I will post a slide show of all of the pictures for those who want to see.
