Elaine + Adam :: Hitched

Posted on August 24th, 2009 by Kate. Filed in Weddings

This wedding took me (and Bobby, as my lovely assistant) to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Adam’s aunt, Eileen, hosted the wedding reception and all of the rest of their fabulous family members chipped in to pull off this feat. The weather was gorgeous, everyone looked stunning (Elaine and Adam were very Kennedy-esque!), and it was so nice to see these two lovebirds finally make it official!!!

Adam’s great great grandfather wrote a letter to Adam’s grandfather bequeathing him the diamond that is now in Elaine’s engagement ring.
Reading the letter, I completely got goosebumps and wished my family history was a little less choppy and had more tradition like this…
Oh well…maybe I can come up with a genius heirloom plan in my sleep. It’s got to start somewhere, right?

Adam’s artistic cousin, Billy, completed Elaine’s updo with a veil.

Love these girls. They were all so supportive of Elaine and were super fun to hang with.

Hilarious. Elaine’s dad is not a fan of the mohawk, I am guessing.

Adam’s other aunt, Rosemary, caused me to laugh only about 476 times that day.

Have you ever seen a guy want a garter MORE?
This was a first for my camera!

And a sparkler exit topped off the day…what a beautiful day it was!
