Josh and Samantha The Wedding.

So I stole my title from their photographers blog. I've pretty much been lurking and stalking her website and blog all week, not just for a little glimpse of the photos she took last Friday but also because she's so talented and cool. And I just told a friend on the phone I want to be her friend.

I have been involved in many weddings {like 15 or so in the last 7 years!} and she was hands down the best photographer I have ever met and seen in action. {No joke!}

And her photos on her website are absolutely stunning and gorgeous. She's a fairly popular Wisconsin wedding photographer and if you spend 5 minutes on her website or blog, you'll see why.

All that aside, I can't wait to see how she captured Samantha and Josh's day.

Their day was perfect.

Seriously, my cousin could go into business as an event planner because not a single detail went without notice.

From the special, custom made basket and ring bearer box she had made for H & I, the programs she made herself, the candy bar at the reception along with kids bags full of activities to keep restless kids busy. M's favorite was of course the photo booth at the reception and she has no less than 20 pictures of her self and random other family members posed in it.

She was gorgeous, of course. But she's one of those people who looks gorgeous in anything probably because she's also so beautiful on the inside.

She's truly one of the most giving, loving, wonderful people I know. Always thinking of others, never wanting to put anyone out. I'm so lucky to have her in my life.

I was honored to serve as her matron of honor, though I'm not sure how good I was at it. Trying to keep track of littles and keep their patience levels at bay. And also, as many times as I practiced my toast and worked hard at not being emotional, I was kind of a mess.

Josh is a lucky guy and we're lucky too because we love having him officially in our family now. I'll feel just a little bit less guilty about the miscellaneous chores and things he helps out with at our house.

All kidding aside, we loved their wedding. We lived it up, danced the night away and just soaked up the time with family as we sent Josh and Samantha on their new journey as a married couple.

I wish I had a million more pictures, unfortunately, it was hard balancing everything going on being in the wedding and J tried the best he could but yeah, these are my faves.

Gorgeous church. M takes her job as program passer-outer very seriously. T did great too.

Groom & Ringbearer.

Bride & Flowergirl.

Beautiful, right?

Fuzzy but a must. My littles.

Love that she had both her mom and dad walk her down the aisle.

Josh is IN LOVE. And I love it.

This is my aunt in her element. She loves to love on family when she's in town and we love seeing her and getting to be with her. Miss E fell asleep in the ceremony. We have a similar picture of Miss M in someone elses arms 7 years ago when she fell asleep in our wedding.

Happy Friday, friends!

Congrats again Josh and Samantha! We love you!
