Last Friday we drove to Kansas City to check out the church that Stacy and TJ were going to get married in on Saturday. This was the first rehearsal that I had seen so many vendors for the wedding day attend. She had a church coordinator, Michelle, as well as a hired wedding coordinator, Leslie, which were very helpful. Ron Ruth with Ron Ruth Entertainment who was going to be the DJ for Stacy and TJ's reception attended along with the Florist Marilyn and William of "Wild Geranium" (Jeff's parents), and Barry and Stephanie with Fat Cat Productions. Ron Ruth had an itinerary for all the bridal party and where they were to be during the reception so there were no surprises on their part. There were surprises for the guests but you will have to keep reading to find that out.

Saturday morning 9 a.m. started with us going to the 9th floor of the Hampton Inn Room 911, The Plaza Suite, where we think we woke up Stacy. Sorry Stacy if we did...This is where the bridesmaids, mothers and flower girl got their hair and make-up done. Afterwards they got to enjoy in some sandwiches that were provided by Panera Bread. About 12:30 Stephanie and I headed over to the church where Jeff and Barry had already beat us to capture the guys getting ready. The ladies all slipped into their red dresses. All the bridesmaids wore dresses with different designs which matched their personalities which was very sleek and sophisticated. Valerie, Stacy's mother, helped Stacy get in her wedding gown which was a champagne in color with a trace of beadwork on the bodice and on the train. She had a floor length veil that overlaid her train very beautifully. Stacy's dress was from the Bellissima Couture Collection, Ophelia. Once Stacy was all dressed she got a letter delivered to her from TJ. It was a very emotional moment for Stacy and lots of happy tears were shed. With her leaning her head back and mother along with bridesmaids assisting her dabbing away the tears to make sure the make-up didn't run. Shortly after is when I went to check to see if TJ was ready to see Stacy and have their private moment together seeing each other for the first time. Both Stacy and TJ looked absolutely stunning and gorgeous. After doing their photo session with the two of them we rolled into the pictures with the wedding party and then both families. About 3:10 we, Stacy and TJ, wedding party, Stephanie, Jeff and I, hopped onto the limo bus that took us to the plaza for some "Quick and Cold" pictures of them. Everybody moved quickly and cooperated very nicely. We got some really cool pictures and have included some in the debut. Then we had to be back to the church, Country Club Christian Church, by 3:40 where they were to be married at 4:00. We made it and the ceremony started without a hitch. Following the ceremony guests showered the newly married couple with red rose petals as they exited the church and got onto the bus where it would take them to the reception, The Hampton Inn.







Stephanie and I road on the bus with the wedding party and beat everyone over to the reception where Stacy and TJ did a receiving line as guests entered into the ball room. The ball room looked absolutely gorgeous with white feathers as the center pieces that sat on top of black linens and a strip of silver cloth as an accent. All the chairs had black covers with silver ribbon bows. The wedding cake was white with red roses that lined all the layers with a Crystal vase with Stacy and TJ's engagement photo printed on it and the groom's cake was a KU Football as they love to watch KU play. When it was time for the guests to be in the ball room each bridesmaid and groomsman were then announced describing how either Stacy and/or TJ had met them and what they like to do for fun. Some of the bridesmaids met during college, on the track team and were all best of friends. Some of the groomsmen included Stacy's brother, TJ's older brother, friends from college and an actor from Hollywood who had played in CSI Miami and a few other shows as well. When Stacy and TJ were announced everybody rose to their feet and clapped as they made it to the head table towards the front of the room. Following was the blessing of the food by TJ's step father and then a teddy bear toss for the kids started off the events on the dance floor. This is where Stacy and TJ tossed a stuffed puppy dog by Stacy and a stuffed Shrek by TJ. The kids all loved it. The ones that didn't get the stuffed toys got a bag of goodies to keep them entertained along with being seated at a coloring table with Wedding Coloring books. Then it was time to cut the cake- where they were so so nice to one another. After going back towards the dance floor tear jerker toasts were delivered by the best men and maids of honor. Then they rolled into the father daughter dance and then the mother son dance. Then it was the surprise for guests to watch Stacy and TJ dance their first dance as husband and wife. It started out all nice and sweet then they broke into a choreographed collaborated of dances. This was great and wonderful to watch! The dollar dance followed shortly afterwards. After getting the guests all on the dance floor Ron Ruth announced for the single ladies to come to the dance floor to catch the bouquet. Then following was the garter toss as TJ was a good gentleman till it was off past the knee as he finished it off with his teeth. He threw the garter that was attached to an autographed football. Everyone had a great time and we want to thank you guys for allowing us to be the ones to document your special day. May there be many more and please keep in touch!
