The Wedding and Reception

 It's Go Time!!!  What a pretty day we had and the setting was gorgeous as well!  It was like a fairy tale!

 Mary's Cottage from the front

 

 If only the boys would have walked down like in rehearsal, but that didn't exactly go as planned.  In fact, Peyton was flat out refusing to walk down at all, much less go and ring the bell along the way.  So we had to scratch the bell idea and they just walked down with me.  They were still cute but would have been much cuter if they would have actually performed like they were supposed to..haha!

 

I think this is a cute picture...look at Chad standing on his tip toes to see Amy!  How sweet!

 

 The beautiful bride and Daddy!

 

 Great shot from the top deck of Mary's Cottage with Falls Park in the background

 

 This is what the boys did most of the wedding ceremony...Peyton about ripped my earring out of my ear and Hunter just stared down below at the park.   A few times Peyton shouted out "Hey Bre" or "Hey there's a ball" or "Look a doggie."  I think it was okay other than making Chad laugh a couple of times throughout the ceremony!  For the the most part, they did very well and I was proud of them!

 This was a great idea instead of the unity candle, they poured two different colors of sand.  I think that's such a great idea and a way to keep that symbol forever in their home. 

 

These were two great shots up close during the wedding.  I like the expression that the picture captured above with both of them.  They look so happy!  How sweet!

 Sealed with a kiss!

 

 

These are some great pictures of the bride and groom after the ceremony throughout the cottage and Falls Park.  What gorgeous scenery for a wedding and pictures!

 

 

 

 Such a cool tree where you can visibly see the roots!

 

 Other than Hunter being a chicken or something with this hands and Peyton not smiling, this is a wonderful full family picture after the wedding.  I think this turned out great!  What a great family I have!

 

 Of course probably my favorite picture of the whole wedding with my boys with the bride and groom!  Love it!

 

   Amy and Chad with her grandmothers...Granny Ruby and Grandma Donald!  They looked so pretty as well!  We are very forunate to have such a wonderful family!

 

Daddy/Daughter Dance!

 

First Dance! 

  

The boys sporting their "Ring Security" shirts that Amy and Chad got for them to wear to the reception!  So cute!!  They were even personalized with their names on them! 

 

  Great shot of Amy and Chad looking down over the park from the back of Mary's Cottage. 

 

Gorgeous and so yummy cake!!!

 

 Fort Mill friends!  Me, Leigh, Amy, and Jenny!!  Great friends for several years!!

 

The moms hanging out together and Peyton! 

  

Pop and Hunter cheesing for one!  Pop and Mimi tried to get Hunter and Peyton to dance but they weren't into dancing in front of too many people!  If only we had Dance Kids back then and they were so into dancing!

 

Michael being himself and acting silly while dancing with me.  It only took all night to convince him to dance with me! :) 

 

Sending the bride and groom off with bubbles after the wedding across the bridge over the Falls.  They then left for a week honeymoon to Jamaica! 

 

What a great day it was to share with two special people in our family!  We are glad to have been able to share with you on your special day.  It was so much fun and a day we will never forget.  It reminds me of how blessed I am to have such an awesome family and set of friends.  We love you both and welcome to the family Chad!
