A Bride & Her Marine: The Big Day!


Do you guys remember me mentioning that Katie & Dillard were engaged? Well they are no longer engaged – they are now officially married! It doesn’t quite seem like it has been over 2 weeks since the bride & groom said their “I do’s”! I was so impressed by how wonderful everything looked with such a short time planning – they had a lot of help from those who love them dearly. You guys will have to look at these pictures with me – Katie looks absolutely stunning!

Everything was decorated so beautifully…




Loved-ones were honored & remembered…



Katie’s two best friends, Ilana and Taylor, stood by her side. They wore one-shoulder, purple dresses that were super cute!



She was walked down the aisle by her dad where she met her groom. They said their vows, exchanged rings, and had a big ‘ole smooch.



After the ceremony, Katie and Dillard shared their first dance.


Father-Daughter Dance. How precious are these photos?






Guests watched...





and joined in to dance along. People just love to be around people who are in love!









My hubby stole a dance with his not-so-baby sister



Ilana & Taylor both gave a toast to their dear friend.


At the end of Ilana’s toast, she and Katie took the dance floor to dance to a favorite song.


The cake was cut (and was yummy, I might add)…



The bouquet & garter were tossed...




Guests signed their wishing tree – offering sweet words & pieces of advice



And took every opportunity for a photo-op…









& before we knew it they were off – picnic basket in hand!


A much bigger and exciting journey lies in front of these two as they begin their life as husband & wife – going where ever the military takes them!
