South Cack-o-Lacky

Last weekend Chad and I snuck away to South Carolina
(or as Chad refers to it as South Cack-o-Lacky) for my cousin Missy's wedding, that has been years in the making! Her and Shaun had been engaged for what seemed like forever and they finally were married last Saturday! We weren't going to miss it, so Chad and I snuck away without the kiddos (thanks Grandma Donna, Grandpa Michael, and Auntie Kristen for taking such good care of our babies) for a short trip, but fun nonetheless!

I was able to see family that I haven't seen in years, family that I grew up with and spent so much time with (especially after school, crackin' sunflower seeds and telling the birds to shut-up)! It was so good to see everyone and reconnect after such a long time!

Missy and her dad making the walk down the aisle!


Shaun was blown away when he watched his bride to be make her way to him. So often we are focused on the bride, but I always love to watch the groom to see their reactions!

Seeing two of my uncles at the wedding felt like I was seeing two different versions of my dad - GEEEEZZZ - the brothers look so much alike the older that they get especially!

I had to change one to my favorite old school vintage sort of look! This is my favorite picture taken from the wedding (I could only sneak in a few before the priest asked people with camera to put them away).
Try as I did - NO ONE could figure out how to take a picture using my camera! We tried to take a few of them outside the church, but no dice, so a quick self-portrait would have to do!


Me and my cuz - the night was winding down and this is the only chance I had to grab her for a quick pic!

I had no idea that the reception was an "80's" party - it was so fun, seriously, nothing but 8-'s music! They had many the props to dress up and take silly pictures, as well as wear to the dance floor to cut some rug!

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Rudi

What a nice Mommy and Daddy get-a-way!! You both look so good all did up. Too bad no body could work your camera, even though I think you did a pretty good job on that self-pic. I was laughing at your's and Chad's "prom" pic. ;)

I loved Missy's dress & that black & the vintage shot you played with!
You looked beautiful as always, and Chad's outfit for the wedding was pimp! (although, I REALLY liked his hair for the reception!) hee heeee
