The New Mr. and Mrs.

I LOVE WEDDINGS!!!  I doubt that I am the only one!  To be honest, I really haven't been to that many weddings!  My wedding was only the 3rd wedding I had ever been to, but since then that number has increased! Weddings and babies kind of come in waves...so for today I want to share some moments from a very beautiful wedding that the hubs and I had the honor of attending!
The wedding of our very dear friend, Matt and his very beautiful bride, Melissa!
My hubs and Matt have been friends since probably before high school!  We had the same circle of friends throughout high school and even into our college years...Matt lived in Charleston our first time here back in 2005...so to say we saw him often would be an understatement!
To spare you all of the details about Matt meeting Melissa I will just say that I remember him telling us he met a girl...he was smitten and he didn't even have to say it (although he did say it...multiple times hehe).  Over the past few years of their relationship, we have had the pleasure of getting to know Melissa and it has been so great to add another addition into our circle of friends, a very exclusive circle, if I do say so myself!
Fast forward to the wedding....It was held at the Sheraton Town Centre in Columbia, MD...a Beautiful hotel...perfect for a beautiful couple!  If I have said it once, I have probably said it a million times, I am a cry baby....I honestly could not help but to tear up when I saw Melissa and her Dad walking down the aisle...

The look of pride on her dad's face was priceless...and Melissa looked beautiful!!!  Her dress was gorgeous...she is the cutest little thing anyways but that dress was really perfect for her!!!
The ceremony was perfect...short, sweet, and to the point!  So for the highlights in pictures...

Matt waiting patiently...
