It was the perfect day. The weather was gorgeous. Hannah and I did a Panera run in the morning and picked up the girl who was doing her makeup. We were able to sit outside, sip on coffee and scones and I watched my daughter getting her makeup done on her wedding day.
Jacob and his Mom spent the morning together running errands – yes, you read that correctly, because Jacob waited until the day of his wedding to buy a shirt and tie. #love
The morning was so leisurely, that all of a sudden it was like “it’s time to go!” My Mom with her oldest grandchild on her wedding day!
I love this picture below – love, love, love. I can’t believe I took that with my iPhone!
Remember how I told you that I barely took any pictures at the shower? Hannah hired a girl from their coffee shop who is into photography to be our photographer for the day. Did I mention that she’s 17 years old and had to ditch school? Her parents didn’t seem to mind! As her pictures start to trickle in, I’ll post a few a day – you’ll probably get sick of seeing wedding pictures after a week of this – #sorrynotsorry š
The man behind Jacob? That’s their best friend Luis who flew in from Texas to be the ring bearer.
I wore a dress! First time (well, I wore the same dress to the shower, and will probably wear it to my nieces wedding next month!) in a long time I’ve worn one. I love that it was so nice out I didn’t even need a sweater. On the far right are Jacob’s parents, and in the middle are his grandparents – his grandma’s liver cancer is back and she’s been through a couple weeks of radiation. She’ll find out this Friday if it seems to be working or not. So happy she was able to see her grandson get married!
The something borrowed? That pearl necklace – Tony gave it to my on my first birthday after we were married in March of 2001. The same florist that did our centerpieces did Hannah’s bouquet – so gorgeous!
I’ll be posting what the Judge said and the kids vows later this week. I loved how even though they were getting married in a courthouse, the Judge made it super personable and poignant. They had time before our dinner reservations to go to a preserve near our house and take more pictures – their photographer took over 1000! I took this one below with my iPhone. #love
It literally could not have been a more great day. After our dinner we had people over to our house, then we went to a bar for an hour. We came home and ate wedding cake. It was the perfect day.
“Sometimes, reaching out and taking someone’s hand is the beginning of a journey. At other times it is allowing another to take yours. Nothing in this world compares to the comfort and security of having someone just hold your hand.”
what awesome pictures, oh hannah you are so adorable, just like your mom. i got married at the court house, we took the money we would have spent on those big fancy places and bought a home..its been 18 years and i still remember that day, im so glad we kept it small, better memories. the smiles in these pictures are amazing. im sooo happy for you both.
What a wonderful day. The last 2 photos of this post say it all: happiness and love and 2 people walking away to officially start their life together.
Yayyyy! Congratulations!! Everyone looks so beautiful and happy!! Sounds like it couldnāt have gone better, so glad!! A very special moment for you as much as the happy newlyweds, enjoy all the wonderful feelings that come with it!!! Hugs!
GORGEOUS! Her hair and makeup–flawless and brava on the black dress! I wanted to do something like that for my wedding. So classy. <3
She bought the dress off of Amazon and bought her shoes at Ross – it suited her so well!
Congratulations!! I Love this.
Thanks Marcia – it was the best day š
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures and comments. Enjoyed them all.
Congratulations to Hannah and Jacob . Love you Aunt Cele
Much happiness, good health and many blessings to you.
Thank you so much Aunt Cele! There will be plenty more š Hugs and love!
What a great and beautiful day and post. A wedding is a day but hopefully a marriage is a lifetime. Glad that Hannah and Jacob found their perfect person to hold their hand. You look gorgeous Mamma. Thanks for sharing your life and your loves with us. And ps today is my son’s 2nd anniversary. They also kept their day small and intimate. We are both blessed to have our small families grow and see our children so happy. Congrats and best wishes to all of you xxooxx
Thank you so much Kris! And congrats on on your son’s and daughter in laws anniversary š
Thanks for sharing Biz. I LOVE wedding pictures – all the happiness and hopefulness – just lovely! Hannah and Jacob look just as they should – like two best friends that are utterly joyful about experiencing everything life throws at them…together, hand in hand š
That’s exactly it – best friends, holding hands through this life #love š
They are beaming and so are you – a wedding done their way is indeed a perfect day!
It’s so funny Helen, because I keep saying “I can’t believe my roommates are married!” I am sure they are sick of it, but it makes me laugh š
Love it! I really love the one that says it’s official. You can see happiness just beaming off of them. Such a great start to a monumental occasion. Everything and everyone looks wonderful.
Other than crying during their whole 5 minute ceremony, I was smiling the whole time – and most importantly – so were they!
Looks like such an amazing day! Hannah looks so beautiful and they both look so happy! You look great also! Funny that Jacob waited to get his shirt and tie, my husband wasn’t running to get shoes right before ours!
In the end, it doesn’t really matter what you wear that day – it goes by in the blink of an eye, but I love how they felt comfortable about how the whole day panned out š
So happy their day went perfectly – looks like Hannah and Jacob had the wedding they wanted, their way, so good for them! Looking forward to seeing more pictures!
Thanks Shelley – I couldn’t agree more – it was their day from beginning to end #love
Congratulations! What a perfect day!! I love the last photo and the quote made me tear up. Thank you for sharing.
I can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures – she really did a great job š
A perfect day in October is perfect!! Hannah looks darling and I’d say Jacob did a fine, if last minute, job in getting himself dressed up. Love the bow tie! Wishing them both much happiness!!
Best,
Bonnie
Thank you so much Bonnie! We could not have asked for a better day! And I loved the bow tie too š Their outfits just fit their personality and the whole day just felt like “them.” š
