What a great way to wrap up 2009!  I got to spend last Saturday with Jen, Scott and their super fun family.  The weather was PERFECT – bright, sunny with a nice chill in the air.  The Retreat at Bradley’s Pond was a beautiful venue and showcased the couples’ outdoorsy style.  Jen had decorated everything to a T with Tiffany Blue and Brown details.  I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

I hope you’re all having a great Christmas week.  Enjoy the time with your family and tell me all about your holiday traditions!  (ours involves going to a lot of movies, I think this week we’ll see 3 – Avatar, Up in the Air and Sherlock Holmes on Christmas day)  🙂

I’ll start with one of my favorites details, their cake from The Cake Shop!

They had M&M’s on the kids’ table in their wedding colors….I think with the rings it redefines the meaning of “eye candy”!

Jen had custom necklaces made for the bridesmaids and junior bridesmaid, I thought it was such a great touch!

Jen has the most gorgeous features, look at those lips and eyelashes!

My dear friend Jenn did such a good job on the makeup, her face is just glowing!

They were a smart couple and had a First Look so we could take advantage of this beautiful December light!

This one makes me melt – their little boy Tristan was truly an angel.  I wanted to steal him as my own!

I love this bridal party picture!  They’re all laughing because they’re trying to coax the little ringbearer to come be in the picture.  He was too interested in ripping his tux off and jumping into the pond…..don’t worry, we got some pics of him later, but I just love this one!

Married!  I love this one of the little flower girls following behind:

There’s always something special about a wedding during the holiday season.  I loved the big wreath hanging on the wall and the roaring fire for their first dance:

Scott’s brother giving his toast – it was mostly funny with a few tears at the end:

I hope I explain this properly – there’s a tradition in Scott’s family that at every wedding the groom gets tackled and a cowbell is chained to their neck!  It stays on the remainder of the reception and is only removed with a trip to the fire station.  (that thing was literally padlocked on there!)  Here’s a glimpse at the craziness that ensued right after the toasts:

What a great way to end the night!  See the little moon glowing in the background?

I was solo for this wedding, so thanks to Jen’s friend Darren (I doubt I spelled that right!) for taking this picture for me!  She’s a pretty good photographer from what I hear!  🙂
