We met Julie and the girls at Countryside Christian Church, as they finished getting ready. Julie was so nervous, she kept shaking as she tried to put her lip gloss on. Meanwhile, Ryan and the guys were putting on their tuxes at the church.

Julie's beautiful champaign colored strapless beaded gown with pick-up skirt and chapel train was accented at the waist with a latte colored sash. The bridesmaids wore strapless latte colored dresses with champaign colored sashes. The beautiful flowers were done by Stems. The bridesmaids bouquets were full of white tulips with crystal icicle accents. Julie's bouquet smelled incredible and was full of white roses, white freesia and the same crystal icicle accents.

Ryan & Julie wanted to see each other before the ceremony but they wanted it to be special so they took a few minutes holding hands and talking to each other on either side of the door to the bride's room before Julie walked down the aisle to her waiting groom. After a little time to themselves, we started the formal pictures.

During the ceremony, one of Julie's brother's, Chris, sang "God Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts and Katie Harmon sang "At Last" by Etta James while the couple lit the unity candle. The ceremony was very touching especially when Julie whispered "I love you" to Ryan just before their emotion filled vows. After the ceremony, the couple exited the church to an arch of bubbles as they made their way to the limo. We met the newlyweds and wedding party in Old Town to take a few pics before heading to the Garvey Center for the reception.

After the bouquet toss, garter toss and toasts, it was time for dinner, catered by Syls. Then it was on to the cake cutting and the first dances. Due to a mix up with the cake company, the couple ended up cutting the cake with a plastic knife left over from dinner. Niether Ryan or Julie let it spoil thier night, they just went with the flow and enjoyed their day. Making the reception a wonderful time for Ryan & Julie to visit with their family and friends.

Ryan & Julie, thank you so much for letting us be part of your day. You were so easy to work with and made our job easier than usual. We wish you every happiness as you start your new life together. Hope all the years you share as husband and wife are joyous ones.

Thanks again,
Cheryl & Brett
