Wow! What can I say about Heather and Brian’s wedding! It was the most special one I’ve ever done because Brian is my cousin. 
They were married in a beautiful memorial gardens surrounded by farmland on a perfect summer day, a light breeze softly blowing her veil. It was a wonderful weekend.
I’m warning you now, I could not narrow the pictures down any more than this, so be prepared for lots!!!! Here we go:
[ Heather and her sister and mom getting their hair done. This reminds me of one of those old fashioned pictures from the 50's or 60's of the ladies sitting all in a row under the hairdryers. I like it (even though Heather's eyes are closed). ]
[ Heather and her sister have such beautiful smiles and great laughs! ]
[ the ceremony site. just beautiful. flowers everywhere. we had so many nice places for pictures. it was gorgeous! ]
[ this shot cracks me up. heather carrying her dress into the house. ]
[ Kyleigh didn't like getting her hair done. ouch! ]
[ a gift from the groom ]
[ karate kid ]
[ the guys. that's my brother Tim just to the left of the groom. Hi Tim! ]
[ the flower girls were so fun to take pictures of. such cuties! ]
[ the ring bearer didn't quite know what to do. but isn't he adorable. ]
[ heather's mom walked her down the aisle. this is the point where I started to tear up, especially when I saw Brian holding in the tears and my aunt crying. it's hard to take pictures when your eyes are stinging. ]
[ the beautiful girls. ]
[ didn't I say the little girls were the cutest. I did not set this shot up. She climbed up on the hill and said she wanted her picture taken. how cute is that! ]
[ i love this one!!!! ]
[ brian's brother Brad gave a very entertaining best man speech. laughed so hard my cheeks hurt from smiling. ]
[ smoking cigars. so classic. ]
[ i love this one, too. can you tell I have a lot of favorites? what I love about it ... heather's beautiful smile as she gazes into her new husband's eyes, the song "From This Moment On" playing as they danced (you can't see that in the picture, but I can still hear it when I look at this shot), and the farm buildings in the background. Farming is a huge part of their lives down there in Ohio. My uncle has farmed his whole life and his father before him so Brian has grown up farming. And I thought this was a nice way to show that. ]
[ that's my brother Rick in the middle with the video camera trying to record himself catching the garter. but it was snatched from him. ]
[ the sunset was absolutely gorgeous. ]
[ took this one on our drive back to Michigan at the end of the day. ]
It was a perfect weekend, a beautiful wedding. I loved being surrounded by family that I love and only get to see a few times a year. They are so special and important to me.
Brian and Heather, I love you guys! I’m so happy for you and so happy to have a new cousin. Happy honeymoon!
