Despite the chill in the air (I mean it’s October, what can you expect) it was the most perfect day for a wedding! Melanie and Justin have a great collection of friends, including one who I find out is a distant cousin of my own! How’s that for perfection!? I love it all, from the beautiful (bargain <3) bridesmaid dresses, to the entertaining groomsmen (that almost took out one of my lights), sunshine by the water, to the best “guestbook” idea ever… I promise you will not get enough of this wedding! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Szczepanski!
