Josh and I were surrounded by the most amazing, genuine, fun, and loving people. It was such a pleasure to be asked to be a part of such a wonderful day.
Everywhere you looked, you were reminded that this day was not just about Melissa and Dustin uniting, it was about their families, their friends, and what they believed in and held so close to their heart.
The handmade quilt that hung behind Melissa & Dustin as they spoke their vows was a gift made by Melissa's mom; Debbie. If you looked closely, you could see the stitching was in the shape of dog bones! Sitting beside each of the bride and groom were pillars with red roses and the photos of their late grandparents; to still have them close on such a special day. The special car that they left the ceremony in? Built by Dustin's grandfather! Families were laughing and sharing stories, and moms, aunts, and grandmothers were all specially escorted down the isle before the bride.
The reception was filled with red roses, with black and red accents, and a theme that Melissa & Dustin is so passionate about; animal rescue. Children played with special gift bags full of toys and stickers, and adorable puppy and dog bone shaped chocolates sat at each table setting with a small note that read "In lieu of additional favors, we have made a donation to Star Bright Animal Rescue". How can you not love a couple that is so selfless?!
Melissa, Dustin, friends, & family ~ you truly are all amazing. Thank you so much for inviting us to share such a special day. We hope you like the (additional - hehe) pictures we have chosen for your blog.

The flower girls looking on as Melissa steps out of the limo with her bridesmaids and gets a touch up from Aunt Sharon. Everybody needs an "Aunt Sharon" at their wedding! She swooped in like a super-hero at the perfect times!

I loved the energy that Melissa & Dustin had. Their happiness just completely shined through the whole day.

Gorgeous!
It took a second to get Melissa's dress tucked in nice and safe, but, once things were set, they were so cute!
The dance floor was packed! Love it!
