Roxanne from The Beehive Beauty Shop is always a rockstar with the hair.

Cory’s necklace is a family heirloom passed down from her great grandmother. I love that.

In prep for their first glimpse of each other, Nate held his hand over his eyes until the last moment.

I love crazy family photos. (Just in case you wondered, we did some normal ones too… but these are my favs!).jpg "Terpening blog18")
Check out this handsome ring bearer! And guess what? Nate designed and created the ring pillow himself! 🙂.jpg "Terpening blog19 copy")
Cory’s niece and nephew were the ring bearer and flower girl… and they were soo adorable!

Nate’s mom watches with tears welling up in her eyes. (Actually, I just adored this sweet lady. She sure seems to have a heart of pure gold.)

I think the exit of the bride and groom from the ceremony is often my favorite moment of the day! The nerves are over, and pure joy spills out! 
Mr & Mrs Terpening spent a few moments alone in their room before the reception… It was certainly sweet.

Cory was the sweetest little hostess at her wedding. She provided toys and games for the children to play… and for her guest book, she had a little dress up station with instant photos and a place to sign. So creative! I love it!.jpg "Terpening blog29copy")

During the reception they played a game I had never seen before… and it was HILARIOUS! The DJ, Andrew at R & R, asked the couple to answer questions about who takes on certain roles in their relationship… when the answer was Cory, her shoe would go up, and if the answer was Nate, his shoe would… The questions ranged from who does more cooking… to who gets to be in charge of the remote… It was so funny, especially when they would answer totally opposite from each other.
