Hi there, I'm so glad you're here! I'm Melissa, the creative mind

without my camera.

There were many awesome moments from Michelle and Troy's wedding. First of all, I had a blast! Michelle told me her wedding had a country theme but honestly I didn't know all what to expect. Whatever I was thinking it turned out to be 10000x more awesome. Here are my top moments from Michelle and Troy's country wedding.
10. The banter between brothers. Troy has three other brothers which should tell you enough; being witness to the boy shenanigans was capital F.U.N.
9. The BBQ. A real huge barbecue. It's the biggest one I've ever seen and the cooks were just as sweet as the delicious ribs. YUM.
8. The most important men of Michelle's life share a love for two things. The first one being Michelle, of course, the second is their trucks. Michelle's dad drove her to the aisle in his and she left the ceremony a married woman in Troy's. The giving away symbolism was precious.
7. Dancing. Never have I seen a dance floor so packed!
6. The details. I'm swooning from the country aspects throughout. The invites were designed by hi, friend design.
5. The girls and getting ready. I'm a big girly-girl and really enjoy being witness to the toasts, details, shoes, jewelry makeup and so on.
4. The first look... when Michelle hid behind her bouquet with a huge smile plastered on her face.
3. Electric slide.... sister style.
2. The toasts during the reception, namely Michelle toasting to her new husband. They took one shot of Jack together and then Troy smiled, grabbed Michelle and lifted her up for the biggest kiss of the day.
And finally...
1. The grand exit. This moment rocks my book.... Traveling in Troy's jacked-up truck, Michelle waves to all her guests through the sun roof as they depart down the dirt road.
I hope you made it all the way through! Phew. Too many favorites!

(07.09.10 @ 04:54 PM)Melissa; Thank you so much. You are so talented and have an amazing eye. This wedding was everything Michelle & Troy dreamed of for their wedding day. This was a very 'family' wedding. Our 'kids' are very blessed to have had friends who have known them their entire lives share this day with them. This isn't just because I'm the bride's mom or anything, but I really believe you should submit this to Seattle Bride magazine to show people what a real country wedding is all about. Thank you again, you are amazing!!
