And they lived happily ever after!

Happy Monday loves! I have a very fun and happy post for y’all today. Everyone loves a good love story and quite frankly, I have a great one to share with y’all. On Saturday, I was able to witness two amazing friends marry each other. Two friends that I have known for many years and are very close to my family. In fact, I know them through my sister. But to me they are my friends, and I hold them near and dear to my heart.

The wedding was beautiful and the Timmer/Gougler/Vorkinn Clan definitely showed up. And let me tell you, we know how to party. Now I’ll let the pictures do the talking. I actually brought my DSLR and it was an excellent decision!

On Saturday, November 23rd John and Kelsey were married in St. Laurence Catholic Church presided by Father Drew Wood. Guess what? That’s exactly the same place and person who married JP and I! It was so special to see them married there as well.

My sister did the first reading! But the picture I got was crummy because I didn’t want to be rude taking pictures during the scripture!

Their theme was Disney and fall which is perfect because it’s fall and they’re going to Disney World for their honeymoon! How awesome is that? I’m super jealous. I loved the adorable sign the ring bearer was holding! And you can just see the love and joy on their faces!

And of course we had to get some family pictures at the church while we were at it!

Sisters!

Love this…Daddy stole a kiss 🙂

I love this man to pieces!

The reception was at Safari Texas which is also where JP and I had our reception, but it was in a different room. I loved the room, the grounds, the decor, EVERYTHING! Kelsey…you did an amazing job girl!

If that cake isn’t absolutely adorable, I don’t know what is! It tasted delicious as well!

Kelsey had all the details covered. From the signs up at the bar, to the music, to the name cards and table signs. I loved the attention to detail!

Girls with the bride! Lauren – Emily – Kelsey – Char – Me

Emily, John and Char…partners in crime. Emily met John as soon as he moved to Texas in 2004-ish and he quickly became a member of the Timmer famiy 🙂

I wish someone would have told me about how awesome my hair looks right here…

After dinner and the first dances, we were ready to party, dance and take way too many pictures 🙂

The photobooth was AMAZING! We were in it all night long 🙂

They also had glow sticks…hello awesome. This is apparently my fierce face…

At some point, the dance floor got a little crazier and the pictures got a little blurrier 🙂

I’m really getting into Party in the USA…one of my favorite wedding songs to dance to!

Clearly we had a great time and I’m positive the Bride and Groom had an amazing time too. Thank you John and Kelsey for letting us join you on your special day. We can’t wait to watch y’all grow closer to one another and God each day. I hope you know we love y’all to pieces! Here’s to Mr. and Mrs. John Messer! {P.S. Kelsey, I’m going to put all the good pictures on Facebook and I’ll get you a CD with all 250 that we managed to take 🙂}

What’s y’alls favorite part of weddings?

I’ll be back tomorrow to tell y’all all about Calgary!
