Thankfully, I had had about 15 glasses of champagne at this point in the wedding, because as you can see from my expression in the following photo, I was more than a bit nervous when Julie announced that it was time for the garter toss.
Being the extraordinary wedding planner/Matron of Honor that she was, Julie quickly filled up my champagne glass before forcing me to sit in a chair in the middle of the dance floor and showing more skin than I was comfortable revealing (especially in front of my Dad).
Most of the men at our wedding were not single and the ones that were definitely had had their fair share of alcohol (ie: my brother).
Which is why he did not think twice before he jumped for the garter.
How priceless is his face when he realized what he had just caught?
Then it was time for the bouquet toss. I love how competitive women get during this moment and my wedding was no exception.
In Argentina, most weddings do not end until sunrise, so even though it was pushing 2AM the music started up again.
It is nearly impossible to find the right words upon which to end this post. Thus, I think I will simply say: fairytales do come true.
Make sure to keep yours eyes open for cheap business cards online, because there are definitely deals to be found.
Very touching, Andi. Even though I’m recently single, your story gives me the inspiration that my own prince charming is still out there. And yes, your brother’s expression when he caught the bouquet is priceless. 🙂
I’m so sorry for your recent breakup, been there done that several times and it’s NOT fun, but but but please remain open to love! I promise it’s out there and it’s going to be AMAZING when you find it again!!! I love that our story gives you inspiration! 🙂
Some great expressions were captured on people’s faces during the garter and bouquet tosses.
Kyle is a genius at catching priceless expressions!!!
Beautiful shots, Andi! You can really feel the love. You two are too cute!
Thank you sooo much!!! XO
Alex’s expression when he caught your garter is too funny! I can’t believe your wedding photos have come to an end!! Each was more beautiful and touching than the last 🙂
Thank you darling! I’m so sad that they’ve come to an end as well. But, I’m really excited about blogging about the honeymoon, as I LOVE talking about Brasil. Alex is just too cute for words!!!
What a fun looking party! Congrats!
Thank you and thank you! 😉
I wish you two all the best. I loved your photos.

I’m SO sad to end the wedding posts, but beyond excited to share the honeymoon posts!!! We had the BEST time in Brasil. That pic is worth a thousands words I tell ya!

Glad you enjoyed them, Kyle is a true camera master!!! XO
I so wish I had been there…it looks like it was such a blast!

PS. BOOO! I didn’t want these recaps to ever end!!!
I know me too babe!!! Well, lets just do it all over again (minus the stress)! 🙂
Andi, I am so sad to see this series come to an end. I cannot wait to hear about your honeymoon… but mostly, I delight in knowing that the wedding posts may be over, but the story of your marriage is unfolding and being written every day. Thank you for inspiring smiles of love — what greater impact could one’s writing, one’s photos and one’s stories have on the lives of others?
This is such a breathtakingly beautiful comment! You have such a way with words Roxanne!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! XO
Great photos and blogs (all your wedding posts)! Who is the beautiful woman in the green dress trying to catch the bouquet? 🙂
Thank you sooo much!!! I love hearing from men, as I’ve stopped getting a lot of comments from them once I started doing the wedding posts! That beautiful woman is my high school friend who just so happens to be a model! 😉
Really? Less men are commenting? I get good advice and ideas from your wedding posts. Especially when it comes to photography and what people like to see. I haven’t commented on all of them,but I have enjoyed them.
Well tell your friend that she is very beautiful!
Oh gosh yes, it used to be almost 50/50, now it’s like 90/10…if that! Well, thank you so much for your kind words! Maybe the men are still reading, just not commenting? I will let Brit know what you said, I’m sure she’ll be touched!!!
So many exciting things happening here! Loved the wedding posts and can’t wait to read about Brazil!!!!
And I loved that you attended my wedding, wouldn’t have been the same without you and your hubby!!!! <3
Beautiful everything. You deserve every last bit of happiness, good luck on your new life together!
Awww thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
A million and one congrats!
A million and one thanks!
Indeed a nice post! You have beautifully explained the importance of your special day. Keep up the nice posting as I have subscribed to your blog.
Glad you enjoyed the post so much!!! 🙂
