The day started off a little bit rocky, Jessica forgot her slip at home, but mom ran home to get it and the rest of the day was a synch.

Jessica arrived at St. Joe Catholic church around noon to finish getting ready. She already had her hair and makeup done before she arrived at the church. Her matron of honor, Courtney, helped her slip into her dress while Greg got ready down stairs. After Jessica and Greg finished getting ready they saw each other for the first time that day. They did their "best friends" hand shake and had a moment alone.

The ceremony went great. We were able to get some interesting angles. Jessica and Greg were a little teary eyed but the mood was lightened by the Fr. Weldon, who was cracking jokes. After the ceremony they were greeted by a sea of people and bubbles as they exited the church.

After the bus arrived to take the couple and the bridal party to the reception the whole party went straight to McDonalds for a snack. They also made a few more pit stops to pick up more beverages because it was extremely HOT on the bus. They may have not picked up water or soda, but they certainly cooled down and had a ton of fun.

The reception was at the Airport Hilton hotel and was very nice. Jessica and Greg had two bars set aside and food catered in for their guests. The couple also had a gorgeous four tier cake and a chocolate United States Navy grooms cake. The grooms cake was certainly a hit with the kids, for they kept sampling it before it was cut. The guests were pulled in on the fun when the dj set up the wedding survivor game. Jessica and Greg pulled people out of the wedding party as well as from the crowd to play. The contestants were sent out into the crowd to receive a specific item and then they had to return to a chair, kind of like musical chairs. Everyone got really into the game and especially when it got down to the wire. When the last two contestants, usher Brandon and Maid of honor Courtney, were racing back to the chair an audience member deiced to take the odds of the game into her own hands and tackled Brandon. In the end no one was hurt and Brandon won a koozie. The guests were also encouraged to participate in the dollar dance which helped the couple raise I think over 1,300 for their honeymoon in Aruba. The evening ended with the couple taking a plunge into the Hotel Pool.

Jessica and Greg were very fun couple and we thank you again for letting us spend the day with you! Best of luck in Virginia and we hope that your friends and family who are over seas right now returns home safe!
