Their ceremony was at St. Philip Church, and to say it was warm in the church would be a serious understatement! It didn’t phase Kristen or Robert one bit. Neither stopped smiling when they looked towards each other and it went by in a flash. Heading over to Southpointe after the formal portraits, we stopped to do a few more by the waterfall before going to the reception. The bridal party introductions were classic, leading up to Kristen and Roberts first appearance as husband and wife! They began the party with all eyes on them for their first dance and speeches from Richard, his twin. With a wonderfully exaggerated description, he described their first moments together when they met and their journey from there to now. The party rocked on from there, with the John Parker Band doing a fantastic job of keeping the guests dancing throughout. The night was highlighted by several moments, including Kristen being lifted unexpectedly on a chair in the middle of the dance floor and an emotional final hug and dance from her Maid of Honor Jessica. It was a spectacular wedding and Elizabeth I I were so thrilled to be a part of it. Congratulations Kristen and Robert on your wonderful new life together!

They were a laid back, relaxed and fun couple and it couldn’t have been more obvious on their wedding day. Amanda bounced around in the morning getting her hair and makeup completed while Nathan and his fellow Notre Dame faithful family members were in the lobby glued to the Irish’s game on television.

Nathan and his brother returned to their room to help each other get ready and it was crystal clear how close of a relationship they have with each other. The limo dropped the girls off at the church shortly after the guys arrived, and they were greeted immediately by their excited family members. Meanwhile Nathan could be seen checking the fourth-quarter score on his phone with his brother minutes before he was to meet Amanda at the Altar.

Amanda was stunning as she walked down the aisle and tears flowed from the eyes of many family members, including one bridesmaid who was confident that she was not going to cry! After tons of congratulatory hugs and kisses at the church, it was off to Southpointe for the party!

Amanda and Nathan kicked off the celebration with a wonderful first dance. Nathan’s brother nearly stole the show with a heartfelt yet funny best man speech, which again brought many guests to tears. The dancing was top notch, which is a given when both sets of parents are dancing all night long! The evening ended perfectly with an impromptu sing-a-long which had Amanda and Nathan in the center of the family circle. They continued the celebration by honeymooning in Maui. Elizabeth and I wish them nothing but the best in their new life together! Congratulation again Amanda and Nathan!!
