Playing Catch Up, Volume 2: Jaqueline and Joe's Wedding

To start off on September 12th we got to see our dear friends Jaq and Joe tie the not, much in the Will Averill fashion, this was the second wedding for Jaq and Joe...to each other, that's right folks by September 12th they had already been hitched for nearly a year. However, the first marriage ceremony was in Witchita....at a court house...with no reception. What kind of wedding is that! So they decided to have a beautiful ceremony and great party on September 12th. Eric and I helped out with planning, set up, pie baking, and adult beverage drinking. I also took Friday off work for a fantastic Salon day with the girls. First, I picked up Jaq's mom and we went to the store for snacks. We then met up with everyone else at the salon for toes and nails. It was SOOOO relaxing.

That night was the rehearsal dinner where we enjoyed pizza and practicing the song for the wedding. I got to sing with Joe's family during the ceremony and it was a blast. Isabella also enjoyed meeting baby Henry and hanging out with us, this was one of the few wedding events she attended, the rest of the time she got to play and with Nanna and Poppie Averill.

Jaq did a lot of work on this beautiful wedding, here's a nice candid shot pre-wedding. This should be in a bridal magazine! This could also be a reaction to our singing.

She was pretty amazing and didn't let the stress get to her for long. Now we've got a happy Jaqueline. I like this ceremony shot, Their vows were beautiful and their love and personal touch was so evident in their vows, ceremony and entire wedding. My handsome husband filmed the ceremony, entertainment and toasts.

A table of friends.

Of course Eric had to take an artsy photo. Jaq and Joe had mason jars full of candles all over the place for this backyard wedding. It was gorgeous.

It was one of the best Weddings I've been to. The whole evening was so full of fun, friends, and family and included; a brilliantly written sketch about how the history of Jaq and Joe by Gaus and Emily, a wonderful set of poems written by Will and performed by Nelson, and some hysterical and lovely singing from the Ralston clan. I have to say that my heart belongs to our own wedding but this one was definitely in the top 5.

Congrats Jaq and Joe! Eric is still working on editing the video.

That's how we put the Boom in Neuteboom!
