\u2022 \u00a0These two are really two big kids and it was a blast playing with them the day of the wedding! \u00a0We went to a carousel and a little fair for pictures! \u00a0I was not surprised though after their adventurous engagement session<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0One of my favorite stories of the day was Erin telling me how she used to play soccer next to her reception location. \u00a0She said back then they saw a reception taking place at the venue and her and her friends turned their noses up and scoffed at the idea of having their reception THERE. \u00a0She said that it was hilarious to her that many years later, she would CHOOSE that venue because of the amazing food and their immense dance floor. \u00a0They weren’t kidding either – the dance floor was one of the largest I’ve seen and the food was delicious!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0I love when weddings are really personalized and this wedding was so personalized! \u00a0From Erin’s shoes that were Toms and decorated by her hand with doodles special to their day, to Erin playing soccer in her wedding dress and finally to the wish lanterns – everything was special to them and nothing had a feeling of generic wedding. \u00a0I loved it!<\/p>\n

\u2022 \u00a0Eric’s Best Man gave one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. \u00a0It was so well thought out and the perfect blend between funny and sweet. \u00a0My husband is still talking about how wonderful it was!!<\/p>\n

\u2022 Finally I have to give a nod to the bakery next to the salon. \u00a0At the mother of the bride’s suggestion, my husband and I nabbed some baked goods from Buckeye Bakery<\/a> to nibble on en route to the church. \u00a0HOLY MOLY! \u00a0That was hands down the BEST cream stick I’ve had in my LIFE! \u00a0I highly urge you to stop by if you are in the area (or make a detour to include it!). \u00a0YUM!<\/p>\n

\"small<\/p>\n

This little flower girl (one of 4!) amused me with how much she loved her iPad! \u00a0She knew how to use this better than I did!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Erin was all smiles while getting her hair done!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride's<\/p>\n

I loved Erin’s Toms! \u00a0I also now really, really want a pair! \u00a0What I love more than the fact they are Toms is the fact she decorated them!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Erin you are seriously a stunning bride! \u00a0Love her eyes!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Erin’s Dad was so lighthearted and fun the day of the wedding!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

Eric’s expression when he first saw Erin is priceless \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

The entire bridal party had a blast riding the carousel but I think that Eric and Erin had the most fun coming up with faces to make for each round!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bridal<\/p>\n

There was a festival\/street fair taking place near the carousel for the Miss Ohio\u00a0pageant\u00a0so we strolled over to take some pictures. \u00a0Right when I had everyone lined up for this image, YMCA came on across the speakers and everyone started busting a move! \u00a0Instead of sticking with the original plan, I decided to go for embracing the song! \u00a0YMCA! is what they are spelling but some dancing made it a bit harder to decipher LOL!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

What’s a wedding without some skee ball?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I love their laughs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Can I mention here how much I adored Erin’s gorgeous purple bouquet?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I love how much Erin and her bridesmaids laughed!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

While I was playing with the bridesmaids, my hubs had the men!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Love this image!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

LOVE this image of these two!!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

Erin really wanted images of her juggling her soccer ball in her wedding dress. \u00a0I was darn impressed with how well she did!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

One of the many items the best man pulled out of his bag to gift to Erin to help her transition to living with Eric. \u00a0Pictured here is a book to read him before he goes to bed \ud83d\ude09 LOL!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"flower<\/p>\n

These girls were so darned cute!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

This image is hilarious – the event was even better. \u00a0The bride smashed her sister, maid of honor, with cake and THEN followed that up by licking it off her face!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bride<\/p>\n

I love how much these two laugh together! \u00a0Their first dance went from slow to fast (Dave Matthews You & Me) and I loved how they incorporated the song into the dance!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"groom<\/p>\n

LOVE dips!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"wish<\/p>\n

After the special dances were over we went outside to release their wish lanterns<\/a>. \u00a0LOVE this idea SO SO much and I hope more couples do this, what a fantastic idea!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"close<\/p>\n

Close up of the wish lanterns in the sky!<\/p>\n
