…And She’s Off…

Published by lolly at 11:37 am under General Life,Holidays / Events

Well, my little sister is married. Here’s how it happened (yes, a picture-heavy post is ahead!)

Thursday: Setting Up / Decorating

Sarah and Me

Andrew, Kris and Blake

All of the ladies met up and went to brunch at a local diner (hey, it was Sarah’s choice!) Afterward, we headed to the reception hall in order to set up the tables and chairs and number the tables. We went back to my parents’ house to prepare for the rehearsal at the church and the dinner following. We ran through the ceremony twice at the church and had a lot of fun doing it :) Andrew’s family hosted the rehearsal dinner at a lovely restaurant in nearby Annapolis. (It was so great that I didn’t take a single photo…)

Saturday: Wedding Day!

Wedding Dress

Setting up the Foyer

Mom with Daniel and Kris

Walking Down the Aisle

Happy Couple

Sarah and Kelly 

Me and My New Brother

I snagged Andrew for a few seconds to get a photo with my new brother! I have to say, they have been together for so long (six years) that the wedding just made it official. He was already a part of the family :) After the lovely ceremony, we did some photographs, and then headed to the reception hall. It was a perfect crisp fall day; complete with a light breeze and falling leaves. Couldn’t have hoped for anything better!  We got inside and had a lovely meal waiting for us, some fun music, and a perfectly delectable cake to photograph.  Mimi and I had a lot of fun putting together a list of the “Top Ten Things that Andrew Needs to Know About Living With Sarah” to share at the reception (a little sister roast) and it was so funny – we got the intended reaction out of Sarah! 

 Cake and Flowers

Table Flower Arrangements 

Sarah and Dad 

 Everything turned out so well!  They are so happy together!  When they return from their honeymoon, they will be heading to their new apartment in Virginia.

Congratulations Sarah and Andrew!!

    The bride looks stunning. And you look pretty good yourself, missy. Actually, you and your sister look like blond/brunette versions of each other especially in that one headshot of you two together.
