Wedding Bells in May!
One of the highlights of this summer, besides our Italy trip and moving into our first home, was my younger sisters wedding day. James and I returned from Italy and two days later it was wedding day for Bethany and Joshua! They were kind enough to consider our crazy schedule of trips, moving, and the Instructor Pilot Course for James when they planned their big day. We were so glad they did and that our entire family could make it to celebrate their big day!
They got married at the Quail Ridge Lodge in Wentzville, MO. It was nestled in the beautiful Quail Ridge Park and had amazing windows that let in natural light and a beautiful wood interior. Joshua and Bethany did most of the work for the wedding themselves (with the help of family of course). They worked hard for weeks before the wedding to make it beautiful and to save money. It turned out wonderfully.
I had the privilege of making and decorating their wedding cake for them. This was my first wedding cake and I was pretty nervous about it. They were pretty straightforward with what they wanted and didn't want, however, so that made it much easier. They even were there when I dyed the frosting to make sure it was the shade they were wanting. They said they loved the cake and I got many compliments on how it tasted. So, well it was far from perfect, I feel like it was successful.
One of the fun things about Bethany's wedding day was that I was able to reconnect with a college friend I hadn't seen for a bit. Bethany hired Erica Peery of Lilylove Photography to take her wedding photos. Erica and her husband, Adam, were good friends with James and I back in college. I also was super spoiled back in 2009 when Adam and Erica lived in Columbia at the same time I did. We actually had our first babies just 2 days apart in 2009 and were pregnancy buddies and brand new mommy pals. So we loved getting to see them for a bit on Bethany's wedding day. Erica , of course, did a wonderful and beautiful job with the wedding pictures. She is one of my absolute favorite photographers. If you have an event in or around St. Louis that you'd like photographed I would definitely recommend looking her up.
Another thing I loved about being part of Bethany and Joshua's big day was seeing my boys all dressed up. I know I am very biased but my boys clean up very nicely. I have never seen a cuter best man (Jay) or a more handsome groomsman (James).
I know Bethany and Joshua were very happy with their day and I think they should be very proud of what they pulled off. Everything turned out beautifully and was a great expression of their love for each other. The last Lanseigne girl has married off and I wish both of them a lifetime of married bliss.
