Monica's Wedding!

JULY 17, 2010!! The big day had finally arrived for Monica and Joseph! We were all SO excited to share in their special day and celebrate the beginning of their new life as husband and wife!

With everything planned, decorated and organized...

it was finally time to GET READY!

We all know that part, "takes a village"....

Here she is!

The already gorgeous Bride-to-be,

getting all dolled up!

Love you, Charity :)

Always ready to get the "good shots"...

this time I was able to catch Manda

on the other sideof the camera! :)

The veil!

A Bride's work is never done...

The trusty phone kept on ringing,

finishing those last minute details!

Hair? Check!

Veil? Check!

"Goin' to the chapel and we're

gonna get maaarrrrriiied"

Here's Charity rocking her

AWESOME side pony!

Fabulous!

Ready to ROLL!

(You didn't actually think I'd put

a 'before & after' shot of myself on here?!?)

Last minute finishing touches before pictures!

(Again, it takes a village!)

Love it!

Joseph's Mom handmade all the jewelry!

Unfortunately...as I was a tad busy, and the husband's (Matt & Ben!) did not attend... I didn't get any pictures from the ceremony. Manda got some fantastic shots though, so you'll have to refer to her if you'd like to see them!

The Reception

Most of the girls! Ready to CELEBRATE!

Our awesome ride back to the reception hall!

NEWLYWEDS!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Swanson's first dance!

Insert "Mission Impossible" theme here!

Joseph was not shy about

getting that garter!

Thankfully, no one was injured

in the tossing of the bouquet! :)

Thank you to Monica and Joseph for allowing me to be a part of your special day! It was such a fun, love-filled celebration! We wish you both nothing but the best in all the years ahead! Congrats!!!
