The Wedding!

Are you ready? This could seriously be the longest post in the history of blogging, but I want you to feel like you are were with me! I really wish you were, it was a blast! All wedding photos courtesy of Mr. Richard Murtaugh! Thanks Rick!

We started setting up at 10 am.... Susan and Meigan worked on bows, while Roxi and I worked on the centerpieces! THANK GOD these girls were here with me! They were a tremendous help. I found out Sue is a whiz when it comes to flowers...she really made the centerpieces come to life and Meig ties a beautiful bow.
But the best help really, was Fraunk: X3.... These guys were the BEST! They worked endlessly to make the trellis lovely and then Mike joined Susan and finished the bridal table and the stairway up to the hall! Just look at Rick, Dennis and Dave... how cute are they??
Meanwhile, the girls were in the Bridal Room having their hair done up. Here's Chelsea, MOH and Dagmara getting beautiful!
Dave and I went to Tegan's room to check on the guys and we snapped this quickie... Check out Dave rocking the Converse High Tops!! Tegan is wearing the black on black ones!
The cake... made by Kelley's sister Tammi. She would like to start a business called Tammicakes! Kelley loved the topper with the bride grabbing the grooms a..!
See what I mean?
Me and my beautiful new daughter in law to be... Kelley Marie.
Kelley is the most adorable little thing... she just radiates fun and sweetness!
Speaking of fun and sweetness... Look, Molly with Sarah in the background!
Both girls looked adorable with their curls and high tops with pink laces!
The chalkboard coming up the stairs at Powderhorn is adorned with the bride and grooms initials in their wedding colors...black and white! It Is Love is the song played as Kelley walked down the aisle.
The Guys and the cutest flower girls EVER! Two handsome ring bearers, Elliot and Cayden!
Sarah loved Elliot, Kelley's nephew.
Our other ring-bearer was wanting to steal the show though... here Cayden rocks the "surprise" sunglasses for AFTER the ceremony. Silly little guy!
Back at the Wildwood Inn, where we all are staying, the groomsmen and the groom were keeping busy. Cyle enjoyed a game of billiards in the Bears Den...
Dave and Donny just relaxed with a beer or two...
Kevin, Tegan rocked out with rock band while Mark looked on...
I chatted with Kelley's Grandma Milly, who was just a doll.
Roxi, my go to girl all day... right at my side!
At 4 pm, the handsome wedding party made their way to the Lodge for the ceremony.
Striking a pose! Mark, Kevin, Dave, Cyle, Donny, Tegan and Danny.
Aren't they a bunch of HUNKS??
Tegan and his Dad. A proud moment.

Molly was a little bothered that her petals were blowing away in the wind!

A hug for grandpa!
Check out Kelley's tattoo... a little skull with a pink bow on her head and lots of little hearts!
