Hammertime

Kt and Mike's wedding was this past Saturday. And even though it poured buckets earlier in the day, the weather cleared perfectly for their outdoor, garden wedding.

Here are some pictures courtesy of Staci and her hubs:

The night before the wedding, the cute couple pose outside the Yacht Club at sunset.

After the rehersal dinner, the bridesmaids (pictured here, minus Staci because she took the picture) went outside to feed the ducks and fish.

The bride wore an ivory, tealength dress with abstract flower appliques, black peep toes shoes, and a birdcage veil. The groom wore black pants and vest with a grey shirt and an ivory tie (matching the groomsmen) with an artist screen print.

More than 120 friends and family sat outside under the tent to watch the bride and groom exchange vows, light the unity candle, and have their first kiss.

The dinner reception was held inside. While Kt and Mike's reception did not have many of the traditional events (i.e. bouquet toss, garter finding), it did include champagne toasts from the maid of honor and best man.

And, of course, no wedding is complete without cake. This one was made by Linda Austin, a friend of the family and Erie cake "goddess."

The rest of their reception was held in the same, outdoor garden as the wedding ceremony. Here they share their first dance as a married couple.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Hammer!
