My Cousin's Wedding!

My cousin got hitched! It was a beautiful outside ceremony under a white arbor and trees covered in Spanish moss about a stone's throw from the beach. His wife, Sarah, wanted to have a simple ceremony and reception and it came together very elegantly.

Here's me, front and center, very sunburned. Nothing was hurt but my pride though. I love this dress, it was originally my graduation dress a few years ago and has served me well for a couple different occasions. It makes me feel like a combination of a cupcake and a present.

Dress: Betsey Johnson

Shoes: Jack Rogers

Jewelry: Pearls, David Yurman bracelet, and the diamond ring my mother gave me

My uncle looked quite dapper so I decided to add him. His shorts are linen, and his tie is seersucker. I love his bucks! Somehow how I forgot to take pictures of my cousins, one wore a chiffon Robert Rodriguez dress, the other wore BCBG. They looked great.

The reception was airy and graceful, and little ethereal. When you walked in you could see the ocean in the distance.

The wedding party! I love how colorful they look, it was very joyful and lighthearted. It was a nice change from stuffy tuxes and unflattering dresses.

I love this picture. Right after the ceremony the bridal party headed off for pictures, my cousin was carrying Sarah's train for her so it didn't get dirty.

The cake! I am a dessert fanatic, and this cake was delicious. It had some ribbons of lemon in it that were nice and tart and set off the sugar perfectly. I like the little nubbins that look like peals on the outside.
