All You Need Is Love

I woke up feeling more like myself than I have in the past couple of weeks.  Hurray!  And what better way to celebrate, than by attending Dirk and Bree's wedding!  The ceremony took place at the Botanical Gardens, followed by a fabulous reception at their house.  I thought I'd post a few of the pics.

These fans doubled as sun blockers- sort of

Love this shot of Dirk high-fiving Bree's Dad!

After NINE years...they're married!

Love the Mason jars filled with key limes

Great idea for "place cards" and cheap-they found all the rocks in their front yard!

This picture does not do justice to the size of their backyard.  Not pictured is the garage that's been converted into Dirk's man room, complete with a bathroom.  I've never seen so many jealous men:-)

At one point, early into the reception, all of the twinkle lights went out.  Luckily, there was still quite a bit of daylight.  There was some understandable stress from the groom because, aside from the candles on the tables, these lights would be the only ones providing light for the entire reception!  Dirk feared we would all be eating in the dark.  I instantly wondered how the bride was faring after hearing about the blown fuze.  In classic Bree style, complete with her infectious smile, she confidently stated, "Who needs lights?  I'm married!!!"  That's the spirit!  Shortly thereafter, the groomsmen came to the rescue and the lights came back on before sunset.  Moral of the story:  ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE:-)
