Kristi + Chad | Nederland, TX Wedding

Where do I begin!!!  This blog has taken me FOREVER to post, so I hope I get lots and lots of comments;)  This has to be one of my most favorite weddings I’ve EVER been apart of.  I knew I’d love this couple the moment I met them.  We had so much fun on their engagements and on Kristi’s Houston bridals, I just KNEW their wedding would be a blast.  And I was definably NOT disappointed.  I’ll apologize in advance for the abundance of pictures on this post.  If it takes a while to load I’M SORRY.  I just couldn’t narrow it down ANY MORE!!  It was necessary to have this many pictures in order to properly show you how unbelieveably AWESOME Kristi and Chad are;)

Unfortunately I had to stay put in the balcony the entire ceremony.  But it ended up be A.O.K. cause I pretty  much had the best seat in the house!

The ceremony was filled with lots of laughter and love.

Amidst all the craziness that IS FORMALS, Kristi and Chad couldn’t keep their eyes off each other:)

I just had to post this.  These guys posed themselves and were SO PROUD that I had to use them as an example of the girls for how to stand:)

Is it weird that I STILL after all this time get a little teary when I see my photos framed at receptions.  Call me crazy or corny.  I dunno, it just reminds me how much I LOVE what I do.

So I got onto facebook and saw — “NEW POST BY JHICKS”. I was torn. You and another site are my “cherry on top” right before bed. So I can dream IN COLOR! ha ha. But tonight I’m busily BOOKED up! (the hubs reserved me for the night ha ha) and so I was like…CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP! Cause I was like should I just wait for TOMORROW night? But the lil “taste” you gave was too tempting (kinda think like Joes Party House cupcakes…ha ha) And I came. I’m so glad I did. Cause THIS blog was WELL worth it. First the wedding looked/looks AMAZING. Kinda something Id have never thought to do,but when I DO renew my vows,will keep THIS wedding in mind for sure. The flowers and arrangements are AMAZING. I love her bouquet to pieces. The dancing — FAB! I love how I felt like I was THERE?!! I must say the reception (hall?) is super awesome. Every time you take a pic there,its awesome. (could that just be because you ARE awesome tho?) ANYWAYS I have to add that my momma and I BOTH think the husband is very…yummy :) And thanks…even tho your not my “right before bed cherry on top” you’ve given me something to dream about :) Congrats to not only you but the LUCKY bride & groom!
