Edlhuber/Presler Wedding Weekend

Michigan is one beautiful state this time of year (colors galore!).  And, to top off the beauty, add a wonderful wedding and one great looking couple and the sight is breathtaking!

That's right, the Hansen's had one last wedding to attend this year.  My college roommate, Monica (or as most of my friends know her as Moni) was marrying the man of her dreams.. Evan!

What a great way to end our wedding season!  Fun, friends and lots and lots of LOVE!  

I left for Grand Rapids on Thursday so I could get a little extra time with Monica and help her with a few last minute details. (Luke joined me Friday evening)  Thursday evening was spent enjoying a delicious dinner, great conversation and one last VERY important errand... Picking Up THE DRESS!  Then it was time to work on some last minute "crafts" before we called it a night.

Oh and how could I forget... A couple snugs with 

Miss PENNY!

LET THE PARTY BEGIN!  

That's right, Friday morning began celebration weekend :-)  Guests were arriving and most importantly, it was time for some pampering and quality time with our bride-to-be!

Meredith, Nicki and Meggan

Edlhuber Sisters!

 One heck-of-a great wedding party!

Now this is the life!

Nice and relaxed!

I have to say, our nails looked dynamite and we were all ready for the BIG EVENT!  

The weather may have turned a bit rainy and cold as the day continued on, but that wasn't going to stop this wedding party from having a great time!  Rehearsal went down without a hitch and we were ready for some delicious food and cocktails!  

Moni and Evan

All rehearsed, relaxed and ready for their BIG DAY!

Bring on Saturday!  It was time... Time for Moni's wedding day!  I just have to take a quick time out and say, Moni - when I woke up Saturday morning I was a giddy girl!  I was so excited to stand next to you as you married your best friend.  You were so excited leading up to this day and it just made the entire weekend heart warming! 

A wedding day wouldn't be complete without all the "pretty pep-work" for the ladies!  That's right, hair... make up... champagne...  the whole nine-yards!  

THE DRESS!!

Our Morning Entertainment.. Ryan!

"Going to chapel and we're, going to get married..."

And, we're off... 

It was time to head on out so our dear friend could GET MARRIED!

Getting close... The shoes are on!

 One last look!

So, so beautiful

And.. We... Are.. READY!

Moni didn't stop smiling ALL day!

Quick pic with my love :-)

 We clean up nicely!

Moni and Evan are Married!

The ceremony was so beautiful and perfect for Mr. and Mrs. Presler!  

But, it was time to P.A.R.T.Y!

We headed out for some wedding party photos and then headed to the wonderful reception!  It may have been chili, but I have to say, the weather was "picture perfect" for breath taking photos!  

Reception Shenanigans

Hooligans!

GREAT friends and GREAT times!

Too much fun!

Justin Bieber... Is that you?

 Oh yes, we are dancing to Beyonce!

(do you love my tennis shoes and suit jacket?)

As if the evening couldn't get any better, Moni and Evan had a PHOTO BOOTH at their reception!  WAY TOO MUCH FUN!  (here are a couple samples of the fun we had!)

Seriously, a memorable weekend!

Moni and Evan - you two make the perfect couple!  The love you have for each other is seen from miles away!  You two are always smiling at each other and you light up every room you enter.  I was honored to be apart of your special day and wish you a life time of love and happiness!  

Never take those smiles off your face :-)

Enjoy HAWAII!

As always, when mommy and daddy are away, little J will play!  And play he did!  A HUGE thank you goes out to my parents for spending the weekend with our little man.  He had so much fun and made us pay for your absence all day Monday!
