Blake & Angelica Get Married (Post 2)

Ready for LOTS more pics from Blake & Angelica's big day?!?!

They had their reception at the community center in Southport and it was just lovely :)

Enjoy!

Details as we arrived

The Bork clan

All the boys..I think this is while the videographer is asking them "Duke or UNC" (it was the day of the BIG game).  The boys weren't too reactive with the videographer although I think Preston is showing that he is a Wolfpack fan instead

Randal being the center of attention....imagine that!

The table decor

This is the exact moment my daughter began to have dreams of her big day!  She was a squirmy wormy until Blake and Angelica began dancing...oh boy are we in trouble one day!  PS- I think this is why I love photography....years from now when we are planning her wedding I can show her this and say "Honey, this is where it all began!"

On to the first dance

My fave of the first dance

So in the moment

Time to eat....Randal made a mess of her grandpa's plate!

Best Man (Blake's dad) giving his toast...I got a bit teary eyed during this

Blake and his mom :)

Dancing with Avery (Blake's niece)

Everybody dancing!

Angelica and her dad...I got teary eyed even looking back at these.  Look at the two folks to the left...I think they were getting teary eyed

Angelica and her dad were certainly caught up in the emotion of the moment...who could blame them

Well wishes for the Bride and Groom!

Randal absolutely refusing to get a good picture with Uncle Kyle

Persistence paid off...

Parting shots before Blake and Angelica took off on their honeymoon :)

We love you Blake and Angelica!!!  Message/call/text Matt or I with your new address and we can send you the pictures we have if you like. 

Blake & Angelica Get Married (Post 1)

A couple weeks ago our friends, Blake and Angelica, got hitched!!! It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Southport and we were so happy to be able to share in their special day.

Here are some pictures from before and just after the ceremony...more to come tomorrow night.

Did I mention it was an absolutely gorgeous day!

We arrived early to try and get a couple pictures of us.

Us girls love our shoes

The lovely Church

Cool as a cucumber

Randal wasn't too sure of Blake :(  (Blake, it's a sign...you should come around more often!)

It wasn't just Blake...she was a little bit hesitant to warm up to everyone so she clung to my legs :)

 Grandpa and Grandma Bork

Grandma Bork and Uncles Kirk and Kyle

Matt and Sam

Just Sam

I've already shared this before, but oh well it's worth sharing again :)  Matt and his friends from growing up

Okay, so the below picture isn't the greatest....everyone is looking every which way, the photographer is trying to position people, etc.  But, look at Angelica!  She is grinning from ear to ear!!!  She is married and all that planning she had been doing for months on end while in NC with a groom in CA has paid off and she is a MARRIED woman!!!

Stay tuned...I have some of the reception to share tomorrow :)

Untitled

Anyone got a clever title to go along with the below picture...other than the obvious title?  Its part of my blogger dashboard to see what google searches bring people to the blog.  For example someone searching "Making Baby Food Blog" wound up here ... I imagine they wound up here after a few pages of google search results considering there a plenty of blogs dedicated to only making baby food.  But my point is the obvious title might bring some unwanted traffic :)

Clever titles, aside Randal Jean had a great time playing in the pots and pans at my parent's this weekend.  

March?

March is so hit of miss when it comes to the weather and it looks like we have a bunch of misses in the forecast.  It didn't make it out of the 40's in Wimington today which is a stark contrast to the almost 80 degree weather from last week.  I probably shouldn't complain considering weather in the 70's is far more common in March than the just above freezing temps we had today, but it makes me feel better so there :)

I want Spring weather back so baby girl can do more running around outside.  She was so upset when I got home from work tonight and I wouldn't let her go out in the front yard :(

The below picture was taken at my parents house on Friday of last week when the weather back home was in the 60's and today my dad woke up to snow.  Seriously, March!

Daddy Day Care!

Matt works 4-10's so he gets to keep Randal on Fridays.  One of his hunting buddies, Dan, also keeps his son on Fridays.  So this past Friday the Dads got together for a little Daddy Day Care!!!

I obviously wasn't there for the fun, but from what Matt told me it sounds like Randal and Trenton got along just great...except for the fact that Trenton liked Randal's paci and sippy.  I'm sure Randal did a thing of two to annoy him too, but its late and Matt is already in bed so I can't ask.

Here's some pics that Matt captured while they played:

Meet Trenton :)  Note, that is Randal's paci

Randal showing him his paci

Now with her sippy 

Playing with the dog...the dog seems pretty excited, ha!

"Be Gentle"

I think its safe to say Trenton likes to chew on things 

Randal being bossy

Zooming by...most of the pics from the day were blurry like this.  Matt said they were "FAST!"

"Hey Dad!!! Don't forget to take pictures of me too!"

Hangin' w/ Papaw

In the frenzy to get everything together for Randal's birthday party my dad (Papaw) came over for a little while to watch Randal Jean.  They played in the front yard enjoying the warm weather and according to my father "ran 5 miles in front yard"...I guess its been a while since he's had to chase a little one around :)

I watched them for a little but out the front window and snapped a couple pictures through the window as not to distract little bit.

Dad was a great sport to come play with Randal considering his foot is in a walking cast!

Weekend at the Great-grands!

Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned Randal Jean and I had gone to my grandparents for the weekend...well I am finally getting around to sharing some of that weekend.  I love going to visit my grandparents and it is such a gift to see Randal interact with her great-grands!!!

Enjoy!
