One of my friends from college, Brianna, got married last weekend! We met while we were both rushing the same sorority in 2007. She is one of the funniest, kindest, most entertaining girls I know, she’s one of the very few people that can just make me laugh hysterically.
I’m so glad that we’ve kept in touch & I’m so happy she invited us to spend her wedding day with her! I wanted to share some of the photo’s I snapped from her special day!
But first a few throwbacks:
Here we are in 2007 at one of our sorority events! Brianna is lovely red head in the center 🙂Here we are at our initiation – Phi Sigma Sigma, Iota Delta Chapter, the Kappa class! Looking all young & awkward lolAnd here we are at another initiation in 2009. Looking over-picniked lol. Extra tan skin & super white teeth. (Anyone else go through a crazy Picnik phase? lol)
I have no photos from her ceremony, because I kind of feel strange using a phone/camera in church. I feel like the bride wants to see smiling faces as she’s walking down the aisle, not cameras (but you should know – the ceremony was gorgeous & very sweet).
So, we begin photos at the cocktail hour:
We walked into cocktail hour & I could not get over this table of prosciutto! They had an incredible crudite, fruit, meats & cheese stationary display – as well as some tasty passed apps.After cocktail hour we entered the ballroom & were blown away by the Winter Wonderland before us! And the monogram – loveee!! (They had small table tents noting the hashtag for the event #KottPartyOf2 (which I think is such a fun way for guests to share photos on FB, Instagram & Twitter that you can look back on) – so I snagged this picture from AtmosphereProductions Instagram account)I stole this picture from Carlgti2010’s Instagram account as well. This was our table – everyone got a huge mason jar filled with hot cocoa, marshmallows, peppermints, chocolate candies & more. I actually tapped into mine the next day! Do you see the table number? Each table number was a small notebook that asked guests to write notes for the bride & groom to read on their X anniversary. We wrote notes for their third. Such a cute idea 🙂I loved her tall, hydrangea & crystal centerpieces!The beautiful couple’s first dance 🙂Snagging a quick selfie with the Mister 😉Photo booth fun with my friend, Steph!Got a hold of the bride for a group shot! She looked so gorgeous & her dress was simply breathtaking! (Steph – on the left – rushed the sorority with us in 2007 as well 🙂 )Mike & I! It’s funny – he grew up in the same hometown as Brie, so he actually knew a bunch of the guests.Cake time! Her 4 – tiered cake was gorgeous ( and delicious!)This is Mike’s “I’m ready to get down” face. We defintely did a bit of dancing that night! I think my feet have finally recovered 🙂 (LOOK AT THAT HAIR!! OMG.)More photo-boothing 🙂Cake, cookies, assorted truffles & chocolate covered strawberries!? So good!
So, I didn’t catch the bouquet, the girl right in front of me did! …But guess who caught the garter!?
Go figure! I should have known. Mike is so competitive, he never loses at anything. The girl who caught the bouquet was from our table so they did their little thing – it was too funny & she and her boyfriend were real sweethearts 🙂…Obviously we had to have one more photo booth experience for good measure 🙂 Right afterwards, we hit up the candy bar & called it a night. A GREAT night at that.
The wedding was so much fun. I’m really glad that I was able to be there to celebrate with Brianna and all of her friends and family! Everything was just perfect.
Sending a huge congrats to Brie & Colin (who are currently in Hawaii!!!) Wishing them a lifetime of love & happiness!
