So my oldest son comes up to me at the wedding reception and says, “Grab your camera. Stephanie’s lost that lovin’ feeling.” I’m thinking, what???

They plop her down in a chair. She says “I’m not doing the garter thing.”

30-40 boys all drop to their knees and start singing:
You never close your eyes any more
When I kiss your lips
And there’s no tenderness like before
In your fingertips
You’re trying hard not to show it baby
But baby, baby I know it

You’ve lost that loving feeling
Oh, that loving feeling
You’ve lost that loving feeling
Now it’s gone, gone, gone
Whoa-oh

Some of them really got into it… Gabe, that would be you…

Seriously, are they not all having the best time?? Love these kids!

Stephanie totally enjoying herself.

The bum, bum, bum, snapping part of the song.

Yep, it’s too bad Stephanie lost her Lovin’ Feeling…just 3 hours into her married life!

just in case you were wondering…

See, I’m here with my gorgeous family! This is before the wedding. I don’t think we actually got a photo with all of us and Steph after the wedding.

This is what I did for a lot of the wedding. I actually had some kickbutt cute heels to wear…but I never got them on my feet! Too busy having fun!

The mother/son dance. I’m not sure when he got so tall…or old enough to get married.
And one of my favorites…taken by Matt with his iPhone:

I adore this man!

I’m finally doing an actual wedding post! This winery is so gorgeous. Such a wonderful place for a wedding. Forgive the image heavy post.
Matt getting ready for the wedding. Everyone kept asking him if he was nervous. He kept asking “why does everyone keep asking me that?” He doesn’t look nervous, does he?
The groomsmen getting ready for the wedding…no, wait, they are playing with their iPhones…

Right after Matt saw Stephanie for the first time, at the hotel before the wedding. (they did photos before the wedding and after it.) Here is where a big storm came rushing in… Matt said he kept thinking, do NOT rain on her. Do NOT. See how windy it is? The wind started blowing over those tables and chairs.

The one in which I started crying. Yes, I know. The VERY beginning of the wedding with Matt walking out with the minister. Couldn’t help it. He looks so happy. It still makes me cry to look at it.

When he first saw Stephanie walking down the aisle.

The one where there was a slight mixup of the rings…and Stephanie said, “Mine is the one with the diamonds!”
Everyone cracked up. I love that girl!

You may kiss the bride.

The happy couple. I was busy being the mother-of-the-groom so I didn’t get all the photos I would have liked to capture. I was busy staying out of the way of their official photographer too. That was weird not being the one telling people where to stand, where to look, etc. I will have some more photos up later of funny things from the wedding, but I’ll leave you with this, my favorite photo…

(more and bigger photos over at my Kay Pickens St. Louis Photographer Blog.) Check them out!
