Tess and Kevin get hitched!
Last weekend, I was lucky to be a part of one of the most beautiful and fun wedding ever. Remember when Tess and Kevin were engaged in October? Or Tess's fabulous bachelorette party in Destin in July? Mike also attended Kevin's bachelor party at the Lake of the Ozarks but there mysteriously aren't any pictures of that event (thank the lord).
All of the wedding celebrations came together for the mecca of weddings. We started the day getting ready in Belleville at Tess's parent's home. It was such a relaxing and laid back morning until suddenly, we had an hour till the wedding and no one was dressed! (Photos of the day used in this post are courtesy of the Browers and my hubby. The ones from the Browers have their name in the corner and Mike's are just plain.)
It was finally time for Tess to get ready and she was stunning!
The hair, the makeup, and wow...the dress! She was incredible!!! The ceremony was beautiful and Mike got some great pictures.
Officially Mr. and Mrs.!!!
After the ceremony, we hopped on the trolley to head for our reception destination, the Missouri Athletic Club on Washington Avenue. I can't believe we all fit in this picture! Where's Waldo? Can you find me?
The trolley ride included t-ravs, cheese sticks and chicken fingers from their family owned bar, Big Daddy's. There may or may not have also been a chug-off of Boone's Farm wine, bubble gum flavored vodka, and a round of cherry bombs, as well.
Our first stop, The City Garden. I love this place! AND, I love this picture the Browers got of Tess and her sister, Lisa, running through the fountains.
Then a stop to visit puppy, Truman, at Tess and Kevin's loft on Washington.
We also stopped for a few at the Four Seasons but it wasn't the best experience so I am going to skip that part ;)
The reception at the MAC was amazing! Most of the guests at the wedding at Mizzou fans and Truman the Tiger was there to celebrate! (These pictures are Mike's!)
The room was amazing and the tables were just beautiful!
We danced the night away and just had so much fun!!!
Congrats, Kev and Tess! We love you and can't wait for you to get back from Italy!
