Surprise Wedding! Lyanna & Whet

Lyanna & Whet are soooooo sweet, like in every way. I’ll have to explain the ‘surprise’ part of this wedding, many of Lyanna’s relatives thought she was planning to have a huge wedding in November where all family and friends were invited, but the couple had different plans. They preferred to have a very small 20 person wedding, so they invited people over for an ‘engagement party’ but as soon as they arrived they received a note stating that they were actually going to get married… Ben was at the house catching some of the reactions on video, so I will have that posted soon. They got married in one of the cutest chapels I have ever seen at Parker Lane United Methodist Church and had a nice little reception dinner in Moonshine Grill’s Sunday house. Lyanna’s Mom, Connie, made the cake as well as all the flower arrangements and did an awesome job. Instead of going all out on centerpieces and a 6 tier cake they decided that they would rather spend the most of their wedding budget on a 2 1/2 week vacation to Paris, they left yesterday so I hope they get to see these while they’re there. I’m so excited for Lyanna and Whet (although sad that they’re moving to Houston)… I’m just really glad that Ben & I could be apart of their wedding day.

this was my first time to do a same day slide show and I have to say I will probably do more in the future. While everyone was settling down at the restaurant, Ben sat in the car and uploaded the images of the bride getting ready and the ceremony, we put the slideshow to one of the their favorite songs and it turned out beautifully.
