As promised, here is part two to Celina and Phil’s wedding….it was such a fabulous evening that it seemed as though just one post wasn’t enough to share with you all the great happenings of that day! So, here goes with the ceremony and then on to the reception….such a FUN event….they definitely had every detail planned out and it all came together perfectly! Here goes:
The smile on Phil’s face says it all…
What proud parents Celina has….so happy to see their daughter on this very special day…and with the happiness comes a bit of sad, but knowing she’s chosen a fantastic man to share her life with, makes it easier to “give her away!”
How could I not share another photo of the CUTEST ring “bears” ever…if it hadn’t been for an amazingly beautiful bride, they would have stolen the show that day!
Mr. and Mrs. Phil Pierce….happily ever after!
The official paperwork…now it’s legal!
Maid of honor and best man…so proud and happy to share this day with the bride and groom.
Ahh, the toasts…love and fun, all in honor of a great couple!
The FIRST dance…is this not a stunning couple!!
Pride is definitely evident on both the father of the bride and mother of the groom’s faces….what a wonderful time for all of them!
Even the little ones had fun dancing…
Fun and games were available as well…what a perfect location for the event!
Grandmother of the groom and the best man (brother of the groom) show the others how it’s done on the dance floor!
A toast to the bride and groom…it’s time to celebrate and let loose!
As I said before, the weather could not have been better….a perfectly clear day and evening!
The cake…they were both so nice to each other…I was hoping for a bit of “fun” with the cake…guess this is the first test of trust for them!
Grandparents of the bride, who also were the last standing on the dance floor for the anniversary dance, what a lovely couple, I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with them!
And, the wedding party and guests are ready to rock and roll….
I’m sure that this little girl is dreaming of someday when she will be a bride…and just as beautiful as Celina!
So BEAUTIFUL….Celina is one of those natural and classic beauties….what a perfect bride she was!!
So, Phil wasn’t seen on the dance floor, and as you can see his buddies made sure he made his way out there, in style!!
What a fun group, all of these had worked together at The Spaghetti Factory…they were SO funny, it made it hard to take a picture!
Dancing the night away…..
Believe it or not this group all graduated with Celina from high school in Klamath Falls, Oregon, what a great show of the test of time and friendship!
Ahh, finally, Phil shows everyone the style he has….love this!
The smiles on their faces say it all, we saw this all night long, so happy and madly in love, what an amazing couple….I will be excited to follow their journey together and hope to someday add to their story with more news of their life and adventures!
A bit of a secret….the groom is my nephew and I’m SO very proud of him….he’s a great guy, hardworking and he loves his family! He had us all wondering at some point, if he’d ever get married, and when he found Celina and finally proposed, it was an exciting time as everyone knew that they were meant for one another! I was blessed with the opportunity to capture this special day for them along with being part of the family…it was awesome, they are great, the wedding party was fun and welcoming and the families so proud and happy to see their loved ones join together. Here’s to you Celina and Phil….so proud and excited for both of you!
Terri’s dress was gorgeous, simple and elegant and other than the bustle, it was just perfect! After the ceremony, there was a bit of a struggle to get it bustled…there out to be classes for this!!
Ryan walked his mother down the aisle and gave her away…it was quite touching and special! The best man was Howard’s brother and the matron of honor was Teri’s mom…certainly a family affair!
The ceremony was attended by family and close friends….who all love Teri and Howard and were so happy to share this evening with them. Even during the ceremony, there was lots of laughter…along with a few tears…but the laughter was something that carried out throughout the whole evening!
I just love Teri’s smile…she has the best smile and was so happy that evening, I don’t think it ever left her face…a definite sign of true love!
Family – whether it be by blood or love or marriage, there is nothing better and more special! These two were a delight to meet and get to know throughout the evening, I only wish I’d had more time with them. Since Portland isn’t too far away, I hope that we will be able to get together again soon…they are a special couple, with a deep love for one another and for life….and that is just what LIFE should be!! Congratulations Mr. and Mr. Speelman!
