Kristi & Tom | DC courthouse wedding | Maggiano’s
Kristi and Tom beat my previous record for most people crammed into the ceremony room at the DC courthouse. What can you do when too many people love you? Fortunately, the courthouse marriage people didn't feel the need to enforce their 15-person limit, and these two got their wed on.
After family pictures they had to run, so we did the ultimate-fast version of portraits. The courthouse ain't so bad, amiright?
Then we headed over to Maggiano's for foods and cakes and lots of toasts.
And pause. That is an eight-bit cake. And their invitation says "leveling up"! How frickin' rad.
Maggiano's has some pretty swank ballrooms.
Kristi and Tom kissed every single time their guests clinked the glasses.
Congratulations, guys!
Our heroes and some close friends came early to help change the gazebo from any-old gazebo to Jenny-and-Edmund's gazebo.
It was, honestly, mad warm, so we hit some flowering trees and some quick boardwalks and bridges before ducking back inside the - phew - air-conditioned main lodge. Somehow these two managed to pull off a subtle glow, when I'm sure I looked like a sweaty mess.
Congratulations, guys!
Matt's sister officiated and their parents each took a turn reading a scripture passage.
I love her beautiful bouquet! Peonies are one of two flowers I can name with conviction.
They held their ceremony in the Asian Valley, far away from almost all the tourists. But we crept back up to the Azalea Gardens near the entrance at the end.
Congratulations, you guys!
