Sunday we went to the Butterfly Show at Krohn Conservatory with our friends. It was so neat to see tons of different kinds of butterflies. Sometimes I would be waiting for one to fly or land next to me and then I spotted one just hanging out right in front of me. We will definitely have to go to the show again next year.
Saturday we had great weather for Deanna and Brian's wedding. We started at the Florence Nature Park and had fun with their outdoor portraits. Deanna was so beautiful and her dress was so much fun. It had a pick-up skirt and the bridesmaids had the same style skirts on their dresses. I loved the bright dresses and flowers and how colorful everyone was against the parks green backgrounds. Then we went down the road to their church for the ceremony at St. Paul Church. After the ceremony we headed to the Sheraton Hotel by the airport. We had never been there for a reception and I was blown away by how elegant it was. The cake was gorgeous and yummy. Their DJ, Matt from DJ Butlers, was great. He knew how to get the kids on the dance floor and had everybody dancing as soon as the bouquet and garter were tossed. One of my favorite moments of the day was when they went to cut the cake. There were tons of paparazzi-like guests ready for the cake cutting. How fun! You two have a great honeymoon and relax on the beach for me!
Sunday morning I had a great time touring the Miami University campus with Savannah and Aaron. We started at their favorite spot - the central arch at Upham Hall. Legend has it that sweethearts that kiss underneath the lamp light at midnight will marry and will have a great life together. Aaron proposed to Savannah on that exact spot. It was so nice to bring them back to recreate the moment. Savannah had goosebumps because they hadn't been back since the proposal. Then we went over to Western to check out their pond and bridges. I really like how the swan is in one of the photos and then in the next one I had to keep backing up (closer to the pond) and the swan started hissing at me. I was a little concerned and Savannah and Aaron got a big chuckle out of it. And the last photo? It was a hot day and I talked the two of them into getting into the fountain. I felt bad for the kids on the other side who probably wanted to do the same thing. I can't wait to see this couple's wedding. It has a swing theme that is going to be really fun!
The flowers by Nina's Florist were amazing. I loved the variety of flowers that were included.
The cake was from The Icing on the Cake and it was elegant and tasty.
The best man, also known as the dancing king. Way to get the party started!
