Mary Ellen & Nate are the kind of couple that remind me how much I LOVE LOVE! It’s just great, brings out the best in people, gives you *that* feeling of all that is really right with the world, it makes you smile until your cheeks hurt….well, Mary Ellen (or MELON as I lovingly call her, after learning that that’s really her name to all of her friends) & Nate’s insanely fun wedding also added to the smiling and laughing until my cheeks hurt thing! It was such a FUN day, full of hilarious moments, great meaningful elements, a fantastic group of fun loving people and an awesome, well organized, time for fun kind of day! From the great time with friends during their prep, to the sweet ceremony where you couldn’t HELP but tear up watching Melon & Nate BEAM as they saw each other for the first time and became husband and wife, to the super fun time with the wedding party….including stops at special spots, hilarious moments (sandwich poses anyone?), a random ice cream break and tons of laughs, to a CRAZY fun reception complete with a flash mob, a “special” garter, and tons of hysterical moments…see below! Oh, Melon and Nate…you two ROCK MY SOCKS OFF with how awesome you are! This day was incredible and I hope you loved EVERY moment! I LOVED being a part of it!! I have no doubt that you two will be crazy in love from now until when you turn 90…. all my love! 🙂
