New Bride on the Block

Sorry I've been a little absent the last week or so, but I've been a very busy bee. On Sunday, my big sister became a Mrs. Despite early forecasts of thunderstorms and cold weather, we ended up with a beautiful, but blazing hot day in the Chicago suburbs. In the coming days I'll fill you in on some of the details of my sister's big day, but for now, I'll leave you with some pictures taken by my FMIL, me, and other random people who picked up our cameras throughout the night. I ended up with some 250 pictures from the day, so believe me, there are more to come!


One of my favorites from the day: My dad with my little sister and I. I loved the guys' get-up, especially after they added the bright pink rose as a boutonniere!


The newly weds! I've never seen my sister smile so much in my life!


My sister and I up at the head table.


My parents looking all snazzy.


Mr. Chickadee and I...we're next!


Haley, one of the flower girls. She and the other FG, Amaya, were absolutely darling all day long.

And finally...one of my favorites from the night:

Mr. Chickadee catching the garter. Ok, so it doesn't appear that anyone else actually wanted to catch it, but I was still proud of him!
