Martha and Reuben

 These are not from the wedding I took a few days ago, but from a wedding a few months ago of our pastors' daughter, and Adele's dear friend, Martha.  I was asked to take candid photos during the reception and to act as a second shooter during the ceremony so there aren't any beautiful bridal portraits in here, but plenty of memories.

Adele' happened to be maid of honor in this wedding and she did such an amazing job delivering the speech and taking on maid-of-honor responsibilities.  I was so proud of her.  I kept thinking how strange it is to have my middle girl be old enough to be maid of honor at a wedding.  Isn't she still just a child?!?!  

Here are some highlights...

 

 

 

And because there is no other place to put it... Martha and Reuben's wedding present:

I wood burned the picnic basket the morning of the wedding (because I am an idiot) and since the bride grew up in New York and had to leave and cleave to North Carolina, I filled the basket up with New York specialties like maple syrup to remind her of home. 

It was a beautiful, beautiful day.  And we miss Martha dearly.
