Mellow Yellow Monday

I was a guest bystander with my camera
Saturday at the wedding of the Sweetheart's, first cousin,
Donald's son.
It was a beautiful day for a wedding and we enjoyed attending.

Handmade yellow and purple flowers on each cupcake. 
The cupcake tree instead of a huge wedding cake.
I'm usually not as fond of cupcakes as I am of wedding cake
but this is the exception!
These were the bomb!!
Best cupcake I've ever eaten :)

The Groom, Randy's first marriage.

 The lovely bride, Marie and her parents.

 The kiss and the giving away their daughter.

This is a beautiful shot of Donald and Christine's back yard
over looking the pond. My boys have caught many a good fish
in that pond. And plenty of fond memories.


 The "I Do" kiss!

 Mr. and Mrs. Randy Barlow.

 The parents of the groom, Christine and Donald Barlow.

 My MIL, Donald, another first Cousin Farrel,
Sue, the Sweetheart's oldest sister and The Sweetheart!
Besides me, this is the only family that was there on Donald's side.
We were happy we could be there for the fun.
 Okay, let me just say that no "good", southern wedding reception leaves out the fresh wild Georgia Shrimp and I must say these were some of the best I've ever eaten. I bet there was the best shrimp salad on Sunday with the leftovers!

 All the food that I tasted was just wonderful.
Another favorite was the blue crab mushroom caps!

 The spinach dip also seems like a must have!
Christine, the mother of the Groom did all the food
with the help of some wonderful friends.
It was wonderful as always.

 Let the dancing begin!

 The Bride's friends from work did a little entertaining and it was really cute.

 The first dance.
Donald was telling us that they took dance lessons
so that they could have a wonderful first dance.

 They did an awesome job all the way to the dip!

Everyone had a great time!
Wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening
and not have the stress of being the wedding photographer!

What a gorgeous setting...looks like it was a perfect day. I love the cup cake tree...and the Ga.shrimp...to die for! Being a native Md. girl...I am a bit of a seafood snob. But I have to give kudos to the Ga.wild shrimp.
Love all you photos...you captured a day of Love n Fun!

BEAUTIFUL!
What a gorgeous day.
Gorgeous bride.
You done good with the photos.
Nice not to have the whole thing on your shoulders....even though you could have done the whole thing with one hand tied behind your back.

I can't believe the spread. The food is beautiful....and I see a watermelon! Those things are a distant memory.

I love the shot of the "dip". Too cute.
Looks like such a great time with family.

Beautiful wedding photos Gigi and from the purple and yellow cupcakes, I'm just guessing one or both of them are LSU fans? lol

Belated happy birthday, hope you have a fabulous day!

For not being the official photographer, you got the best pictures! I love the dip picture. Not the spinach dip, the bride and groom dip!! LOL

I'm curious what they were doing with the glasses of water? I'm assuming it's like the unity candle, but I've never seen it with water before.

Oh how FUN!! Nothing like a wedding! The colors are beautiful and the pictures are amazing!

That shrimp bowl......well my head woulda been buried in there. Just toss a little cocktail sauce and I would be in heaven!
