casey + alyssa

I went to Casey + Alyssa's Wedding in Oakhurst. It's a super teenie tiny town located 10-15 miles from Yosemite. Casey and Cookie grew up and went to High School in Oakhurst.

Here are the napkins:

They made really cute fans. On one side there was the names of the wedding party and family and the other side was a history/timeline of how Casey and Alyssa met. It was a creative thing to do and it was sooooo hot so it was everyone was waving them against their sweaty faces during the ceremony.

Here is Casey walking Rick down the aisle. Rick is Lauren and Casey's youth pastor. He is a really great guy and is almost like a second dad for Cookie.

Here are the bridesmaids: Cookie, Marijke & Allyse (not shown: Alyssa's 2 sisters)

The ceremony was beautiful. I thought the bridesmaids dresses were funky and cool. The colors worked nicely together. The venue was really amazing because they faced a lake with swans and they were surrounded by trees/nature.

Still sort of freaks me out that they are only 22.

Alyssa's dress was absolutely adorable. She is the cutest little girl in the world. The dress seemed very vintage with its empire waist, poofy skirt and buttons lining the backside.

Here they are, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas

Married and Happy.

Lil' Ken and I after the ceremony...

The table settings...

Personalized wine labels...

Unfortunately we only got 2 bottles of wine for the entire night, and we accidently opened them before dinner without realizing...

Joey is an old man and I like him for that.

The flower arrangements on the tables:

Steve is the best!

Blurry, but oh well.

Allyse was looking good...

The girls at the wedding party table...

The entire wedding party:

I don't really know what these were supposed to be...

Cook and I...

The food was....alright. I feel funny when I say that at my wedding I'm splurging on food. I'm a foodie and enjoy good food. Also, twill be funny if my dad ever reads this...
