the rehearsal and the real thing...

i can hardly believe that the wedding between ivy and drew is actually happening. they have been apart of each others lives since they were born (literally) and years and years of crushes on one another, and finally they will be husband and wife.

first the rehearsal...
drew and ivy asked mark to help with the music and order of their service as well as sing.

here he is practicing with one of ivy's friends. they sounded great!!

then after running through things a couple of times and working out some details we were off to the rehearsal dinner. the lassiters hosted a lovely evening with beautiful decorations...

us at the rehearsal. (not real sure why the pic of mark and i is larger than the rest, oh well.)

yummy mexican food. and there was lots of laughter and even a few tears as we wished ivy and drew many many years of love in marriage.

and then it was wedding day!!!

i didn't take one picture. sniff! sniff! i was just enjoying every moment. but her photographer did an amazing job capturing the day. ivy wore the same dress her mom and grandmother wore. so sweet. she had one of her friends design a reception party dress that was just darling and she wore some amazing red shoes. really the whole event was just great!!

here is my favorite one...
but click here, for a few more images from the day. they are amazing pictures. :)

happy marriage ivy and drew. we love you so much and are so thankful to be apart of your lives and your wedding day.
