Valeri & Sergio: Married

So I'm feeling back in the swing of things with my first wedding of the year :)

Meet Valeri and Sergio, a super nice, lovely couple with equally nice and lovely families. Their ceremony took place at St. Lukes Methodist Church here in Lubbock, and the reception was held at a little place called the Merry Mixer just south of town.

We started the day in the usual way - with the details, and everyone getting ready...



here's Valeri :)







I just love flower girls...



Getting things started with a seriously cute ring bearer!



Down the aisle with dad...



I like to catch people praying :)

Then off to the reception, where they were keeping the cupcakes!!



Now I could not resist this little sweetie...



or this set of Sergio and his mother, who by the way had 15 children! Yes you read that right, Sergio is one of FIFTEEN kids. As soon as I found that out I went and hugged her too!



A toast from the best man...



got the traditional reception activities going...









and then the party really got started! (and this picture is just cool)



All my single ladies put your hands up...



Guess who caught the boquet!



Garter toss!



And then Valeri's dad ended off the night with a fireworks show. How awesome is that?? Now I am no expert at photographing fireworks, but I did manage to get one shot of them.



Congratulations Valeri and Sergio!!



I had such a great time with you and your families on your very special day. Thanks so much for allowing me to be there! I wish you many, many years of happiness together! K
