Sept. 14, 2008

We started the day by heading in opposite directions: Cheryl to the Hyatt to meet Rene and the girls as they had brunch and Brett to the Ark Valley Gun Club where Adam and the guys were skeet shooting. While the guys were still shooting, Rene and the girls headed to Lindsey's (one of Rene's friends and stylist) home where she has a salon. Once they were ready, the ladies all headed to Botanica to slip into their dresses and start with the pictures.

Since the garden area was still soaked from all the rain we received this week in Wichita, Rene & Adam chose to have the wedding on the patio where they had accents of their wedding colors, hot pink and black. The flowers were done by Stems, the bridesmaids carried hot pink Gerber daisies while Rene's bouquet was a beautiful mixed arrangement that was wrapped with material from her mom's wedding dress.

As the beautiful sound of the harp filled the cool evening, it was time for the ceremony to begin and Rene made her way down the long walkway to her anxious groom. Rene's brother, Chris and Adam's sister, Melissa, did the readings. Instead of a unity candle, the couple combined two colors of sand filled at the beginning of the ceremony by their mothers, to form their own unique design. It was a lovely garden ceremony and a beautiful night. Once we finished with the pictures, it was time for the dinner, catered by Corporate Caterers, followed by the first dances, and garter and bouquet tosses.

Rene & Adam, it is such an honor to now share the same anniversary date with you guys. We hope that the years fly by as fast for you as they have for us. Thank you again for the bottle of wine, it was a very thoughtful and much appreciated. Also, thank you to your families for helping us celebrate our anniversary as we shared your day with you - it meant a lot to us - thanks especially to Cynda & Dawn! Also, I had to give a shout out to Ashley, Rene's Bridal Assistant, for following us throughout Botanica to help keep Rene's dress looking beautiful. And as always, it was great working with Pat & Judy from Judy Hadley Productions who were doing the videography and Ron Brown with Another Dimension who was the DJ.

Congrats again Rene & Adam - we hope Sept. 14 is as good to you as it has been to us!
