I am finally getting around to posting the pictures of the actual wedding - my little sister's wedding day!!!! This is going to be a *picture overload* post. I was the big sister, matron of honor, co-decorator with my SIL, and photographer while the gals got ready, so you're going to see a ton of photos!!! :)
The curly willow on those aisle decorations is straight from OREGON baby! Found it during a Saturday morning run with my hubby and went back and asked the folks if I could empty their garbage bin....and then I boxed it up and mailed it to my sister. She told me they wanted "earthy and sophisticated" and this is what popped in my head.
The front of this historic chapel was pretty "plane jane." For what we had to work with, I think Kari and I did a good job of making it look good.
These floral pieces were a huge addition....thanks to the fabulous Lori for all of her hard work on the flowers. She is my SIL's mom!!!!
A view of the Historic Pinecrest event center.
Their yummy cake....and the oh-so-cool cake stand that my daddy built. Yes, I have already asked him to make us one, too. :)
The head table.
Again, the head table....the Christmas trees and wreaths weren't allowed to be moved. I guess it didn't look so bad after all.
Getting ready!!!
Katelin was our fabulous make up artist for the day....and she also knows how to wear a good hairstyle!
Helping mom with her eye make-up.
Mom and the bride-to-be.
Her dress was absolutely stunning...I just wish we would have brought a plain sheet instead of that hideous floral thing. :)
Her beautiful (and very heavy, I might add!) bouquet.
Once Becca, the hair gal, put the final touches on her hair, she loved it! Just what she wanted.
Katelin at work on Kari's face.
Putting on the necklace....
....and the earrings!
"How do I look?"
And her super fun and cute Navy shoes....those were just her ceremony shoes.
Sara and Naomi....just being themselves.
BFF's for life!
My turn!
Doing a few touch ups after her first sighting with Paul and dad.
Heading out to take a few more photos....
Waiting for Paul....
Oh, how I love her! My SIL and a hot momma of the two most precious babes!
Looking good.
Julianne, looking fabulous as usual.
So excited for her big day!
Um, yes, she is the cutest flower girl ever...and my favorite niece in the whole wide world!
How adorable are they?
And how adorable are THEY?
One last shot (thanks self-timer!) before we walk down the aisle.
The new Mr. and Mrs. Paul Karlik...and their grand entrance song was the theme from "Dumb & Dumber!"
My awesome and fabulous (and hot, too!) hubby!
The gals again....at the head table after eating dinner.
Jason - the best man.
Naomi - the maid of honor.
Me - the matron of honor....couldn't get through my speech without a flood of tears.
Cutting their yummy cake.
Kari with the girls....not only is she a fabulous momma but a super auntie as well.
They were nice to each other.
Waiting for their Love Story Video to begin.
Daddy giving his toast....more tears and some laughter as well.
They love to swing dance....love my mom and dad!
Mom and grandma hit the dance floor!
B.e.a.utiful!
Daddy's little girl.
Hitting the dance floor....D with my cousin, Alex.
The Karlik gals....Sara with her new sister-in-law Susan and mother-in-law, Karen. Karen was having too much fun dancing that the picture kept blurring.
Comfy converse for the night full of dancing!
Sisters!!!!
Making sure all those single ladies were on the dance floor to catch that bouquet.
1.2.3.....toss!
Kali was the winner!
The DJ was up to something so they were just waiting....
He had all the men in the house serenade Sara to "She's lost that lovin' feeling!"
And I love that my husband was front and center singing to his wonderful sister-in-law!
Going in for the kill apparently!
Found it.
1.2.3. Toss....and I love how Grayson will be in all these photos. :)
They tricked him and had Kali leave the chair and Tony (Paul's dad) sit down....shock!!!
The groomsmen dance-off....
...except the trick was on Joey (Paul's brother), and he was the only one dancing! He was really getting into it...
...and then he realized he was the only one. :)
I love this little girl so stinkin' much, even when she picks her nose!
New brothers!
I heart my grandpa! So happy he flew out for Sara's big day.
Just a few left out on the dance floor....winding down the night.
Heading out for the evening....
They were supposed to leave through a sparkler tunnel, but somebody thought it would be funny to burn all the sparklers outside before....so we just put our hands together and sent them on their way.
Congratulations, Paul & Sara! We love you both so so so much.
Love their matching shoes...same Converse they wore the night before during the reception.
This was a big box! :)
Three fourths of the fabulous Keithley family....didn't want to say goodbye. But we can't wait for the 4 of them to come spend a full week in Oregon with us this summer.
Miss Avery wanted to help them open gifts. She'll have lots of fun on her 2 yr old birthday in August!
This last thing just did him in...poor dad couldn't even keep his eyes open while they opened gifts.
Check that out...and that was just in one of the cards!
We love you guys so so so much!
Sara, Naomi, Paul, and Julianne!
Sweet Aiden as out for the car ride home! He is a serious spitting image of my brother, Josh.
