 The people were great, the flower girl and ring bearer were adorable, the grandparents were incredibly happy, and did you see the guy with the bowtie?  What a character!  I love how the wedding was casual, yet classically beautiful and warm.  At one point, the grandfather even started showing me pictures out of his wallet…some of their many children, but he particularly wanted to show me the picture of his wife when she was young :)  I can’t even begin to explain how cute they were.  Love was definitely in the air, and the last image says it all…pure joy!
