My sissy got married!!
November 14, 2014- Katie Guthrie became Katie Spencer.
It was the most perfect weekend.
I wish I was a better writer so I could fully capture and describe how perfect and beautiful Katie and Brendan's wedding weekend was. It was a weekend filled with fun, laughter, family, and so much love.
It was the wedding weekend that every girl dreams of having but can't always achieve. It was the perfect mix of elegance with whimsy, romantic but not over the top, unique without swaying too far from tradition. It was a weekend filled with history and love.
It was perfectly Katie and Brendan.
The rehearsal dinner was on Thursday. We had a babysitter for Kate so we got to have a night to eat good food and catch up with family and friends that we don't get to see enough. Ben and I made them a slideshow that hopefully they will enjoy as much as we still love going back and watching ours. I did a horrible job taking pictures that night (and kind of the whole weekend) but I guess that means I was too busy having a blast and spending time with all of our people.
Friday (wedding day) was a whirlwind. It is crazy being the maid of honor, husband being a groomsman, and daughter being the flower girl. I barely saw Kate all day, but thank goodness for Ben, grandparents, and lots of friends stepping up to help with her throughout the day.
This is the only picture I got of the most beautiful flower girl in her gorgeous dress handmade by her DiDi (crossing my fingers the photographer got a few good ones!)
The ceremony was gorgeous. It was at 7:30pm, so there was lots of candles and beautiful lighting instead of flowers. The bridesmaids carried lanterns which was so different and so cool. The best part of the ceremony was the music. Jason Mraz, Dixie Chicks, Foo Fighters... all sang by Uncle Gus. Then in came Tess to sing Sarah Bareilles! She did amazing, so impressed and proud of her.
And the reception was nothing short of what you expect a Guthrie wedding to be. Lots of singing, TONS of dancing, and all of our quirky traditions were included. It was an amazing night. We were not ready for it to end.
As you can tell... it was a great time.
The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing, gathering at Katie and Brendan's house, and soaking up our last day or 2 together.
Such a fun (and fast!) weekend. LOVE YOU KATIE AND BRENDINO!
Bride really looked stunning on the wedding and I am glad that you shared the pictures here. I am also going at attend a wedding of my friend at LA venues, though the wedding is kids friendly but I am still not sure, if I should take my kids.
