Buster’s Wedding

These are all the photos off my iphone from the Camille’s and Alex’s wedding.  My flash is broken and my camera is nearly worthless.  Anyone care to sponsor a new iphone?  Bueller?
I’m sorry for the below average quality, but Sherman Chu hasn’t finished working his editing magic and this is what I have for you for now.

Nancy and Celia.  Nancy is my pseudo-sister.  I can’t remember life without the Nance.

Dapper little Jude.  The matching bowties I ordered didn’t come in the mail so I made these for my boys the night before.  They served their purpose.

This is my absolute favorite picture and moment of the day.  While we were posing for the traditional siblings shot and about to take the picture someone said “WAIT!  Get the deck!”  Mark took off running for the car and skated back on one of Nate’s skateboards.  We took this picture in honor of our brother Nate.  I think we were all thinking about him that day and it was especially powerful for me when I looked out at the crowd of people watching us pose for this weird photo and saw my mom’s face.  Though a bit bewildered and caught off guard, I could tell that she in particular appreciated the siblings demanding to have Nate represented in some way. 
Always 8.

The dress.  Made specially for Camille.  It looked like she had just walked out of an epic Hollywood movie – Gone with the Wind maybe.  She was glorious.

But brides need to eat.  Ellie helpfully shoved food down her throat.

We usually take family shots since every body is all matchy-matchy.  This is Phil Aub and Teddy (11 months).

Me and my minions.
On to the reception.
The majority of the reception was orchestrated by our newest sister Robin.  The Perrys live at The Mothership right now because they’re in between homes.   They are not blood relations, but man, we love having them.  Darin and Robin worked their buns off.

Ellie was very helpful yelling at people with her megaphone.

Favorite cousin Max showed up from BYUI and was swarmed by the cousins.IMG_5590
Then the fun began.  It was a hoedown so there was a caller instructing everybody in the dancing.  He was appropriately bossy and it was so much fun.

Bride and groom first dance.  Oh, you didn’t know that the dress was CONVERTIBLE?!!  Yep – the bottom ruffles came off for dancing!!

There were about 300 people there.  It was crowded and we were so happy that so many people came to celebrate Camille and Alex.
Here are some random dancing shots:

These last few shots are stolen from Sherman.  He is an incredible photographer and practically part of our family.  Hey Sherm, if you don’t want these posted let me know – not trying to step on toes and stuff but really, I love these pictures so much I couldn’t help myself.

Totally started to cry when I read, "Always 8."

I agree. Camille does look glorious. Hands down one of the most beautiful brides I have ever seen.

I actually LOVE the ties you made out of neckerchiefs. I wouldn't have known that they weren't supposed to be that way. Especially with the barn dance theme for the reception.

What a day...it looks like it was perfect.

The skateboard picture got me all choked up.

I love your hair. Don't change a thing.

Beautiful pics. You are right, the dress is amazing. I also love that you found a way to include your bro. What a great shot. Everyone in the family needs a copy of that one. :)

Wow! Looks so awesome. I love the personality Camille was able to have show with her wedding, the boots, the ruffles, colors, etc.

All I can say is, why don't more people have pink hair? You are rocking the look. I think it should become a "thing."
