Ballentine Wedding!

phew,

my head is still spinning from all the festivities over the last weeks

second wedding of the year: Mr and Mrs Ballentine!

the wedding events were on Thursday and Friday so not really a true wedding weekend

but it was awesome because it meant we still had Saturday and Sunday

I am a big fan of Friday weddings now!

thursday was the rehearsal 

the rehearsal dinner was held at Busy Bee Cafe in downtown Raleigh

such a fun little spot

 and I got to give multiple squeezes to one of my favorite people, Libby, who also photographed their wedding

she did a fabulous job, per usual.

love seeing my new name in print. still get butterflies.

Neil and Gwyn are moving to Iowa at the end of the month

a friend from the MBA program sent these hilarious gifts for them to open at the rehearsal dinner

yes, those are gigantic foam corn hats

Mr and Mrs Ballentine: official corn huskers

my aisle buddy all the way from Boston, can you believe this dude is a doctor?

then I made them do a "last kiss" picture at the end of the evening 

I personally think this picture turned out great

love the street lights and chaos in the background

friday came all too fast

it was the first wedding I had ever been in, minus ours of course 

so fun spending the day hanging out with girls and getting pampered

all the dresses were too gorgeous

their wedding was by far the prettiest one I have been to

all the details came together so well

literally looked like something right out of Pinterest

Jared was an usher and looked oh so spiffy!

some of the maids with the blushing bride :)

Congratulations Gwyn and Neil!!! 

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day

Iowa is lucky to be gaining y'all

love you both!
