Mr & Mrs Wiedeman!

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding as I knew it would be packed with as much emotion as fun!

These two have the most special relationship. I could write a whole novel about how important they are to each other.

Look at this dapper dude!

With a 60 yr old dress comes old school methods of buttoning. Tiny loops, zero elastic! Man, thank God designers have learned from history over the years. It was a bit exhausting for all three of them.

These two basically spent the whole day crying at each other. She just asked him if the dress looked familiar as it was his brides!

And before it was her Mama’s dress, it was her Grandmas! They each altered to fit the trends a bit more. I mean, I don’t know why Allison didn’t keep Lisa’s giant 1990s puffy sleeves on it. Seems like she should have asked my opinion because I would have fully supported the elegance of sleeves reaching your ears.

“Are we modeling? Is this how models model? Are we doing it right?” Yes, that’s exactly what Vogue is looking for, please send in your resumes.

Katie thinks she has to give over Allison to her new husband now but I’m feeling like it’s going to be more of a shared custody scenario. I mean, do you see how happy they are together, Nick? Who am I kidding, he knows. Bhahaa.

His puppy dog brown eyes trying to compete with her bright blues glistening with a million watt perfect smile!!

Seriously Allison, you’re GORGEOUS!!!!

Christopher has very sensitive eyes and while he already holds out on most of us from opening them, we will definitely never see them open if theres even a bit of sun shining!

I KNEW the second Fr Ben started talking about how everyone is dressed up that he’d make her stand. That’s totally his MO. He LOVES to make people in the congregation stand up and turn bright red. Now I know he does it on wedding days too. HAHHA.

During the sign of peace he started opening his eyes, FINALLY!

When she came down to kiss him, his smile lit up the whole room. I was thankful I choose to be in this aisle when it happened because I was able to pop over and get them straight on! What a perfect moment!

They all watched and were SO happy he finally joined the party! Short lived, but still so sweet.

If you know Allison in any capacity, you know she lives the most selfless genuine life. She leads with her heart everywhere she goes and gives it to whoever needs it. What a blessing she is in so many lives!

Katie saying she was sad Nick was taking her place on the Loechtenfeldt’s family vacations but soon enough, I’m sure you’ll be starting a new tradition to vacation together with your own families! So get to it guys, because Katie is 8mths ahead of you already. :-0

She was laughing at me while I was crying…watching her parents cry at them. :0

They can also sing cry at each other as well. <3

They surprised her wit the DJ announcing Christopher wanted to have a dance with his best friend.

The whole place was crying. Literally. Everyone. They danced to Celine Dion’s, Because You Loved Me. <3 Lisa said she chose it because, “She is his strength, voice, eyes. It perfectly describes their relationship.”

Who says you can’t give your mother a lap dance in her wheel chair? Theres no ruuuules that state this! Go on with ya bad self. 🙂

Grandma really did steal the show!

You’re so beautiful, Lisa! Great to see you breaking it down!

What a blast! I’m so happy the day was perfect! It looked like you guys had a wonderful adventure in Europe! Loved seeing your travels online! Here’s to the next chapter! I’m so thankful you all are in my life! I’ve learned a lot from your selfless love! Shoot, the whole westside has!!

Heart, Melanie
