Cunninghammond Extravaganza: Friday Part I

Friday morning we awoke to a lovely bridesmaid's brunch hosted by one of Emily's neighbors. Ryanne recently enlightened me that this custom is un-known to a lot of my west coast friends. So, for those of you who don't know - its just a girl's luncheon (like a shower without gifts) that typically happens the morning of the wedding or the morning before. Here are the Hammond ladies enjoying the morning:



Afterwards, we went and picked up the guys, who were starving, and headed over to the friendly neighborhood Applebee's. And yes, my favorite boy of the trip got to come, too! Samuel!


I'm not really afraid to be a baby hog. I feel like I was polite and offered for other people to hold him, but was not the least bit sad when they refused!


Friday night was the rehearsal. We all went over to Rollins College where the wedding was. I had been there once before but forgot how amazingly beautiful it is!! The chapel looked like it was straight out of Europe. Here's Bible Jim taking in all of the festivities. Gettng ready to give his oldest away!


Mark Long came up from OMPC in the Ham to do the service, which was beautiful! Here's a few favorites from the chapel:











James and Shawna:


This is one of my favorite shots of the weekend. A really great typical Mark and Emily moment! Have I mentioned that I love them?



Friday part II is in the works. Of course I couldn't even fit a whole day into one blog. After the rehearsal, I jumped in with the almost-newlyweds as the third wheel and we stopped by the place they got engaged for a few quick shots. That definitely needs its own blog, so you have that to look forward to soon!
