A gorgeous day, an amazing couple, and two awesome kids (who love to dance). It really couldn't have been much better. I met Melissa and Paul well over a year ago following the Belle Plaine Wedding Show. We got to know each other during their engagement session that included Paul's two children, Rylie and Gannon. Congratulations to all!
I am again very grateful for Tammie Mohr's assistance. She's exceptionally talented, and her contributions are much appreciated!
(I apologize for the short content - I have a very long to-do list today and need to get to it.) And one other quick disclaimer - these photos are pretty much straight out of the camera with the exception of cropping, and the few I changed to black and white. All will be color corrected as needed in the coming weeks.

| Nikki, the stylist, worked non-stop from 6 to noon styling everyone's hair. |
 |
| Rylie and Gannon had a special gift for Melissa - diamond earrings. Pretty sweet :) |
 |
| Melissa's a scrapbooker, and made gift boxes and tags for her attendants. |
 |
| The "First Glimpse" is one of my favorite parts of the day. |
 |
| Paul wasn't without a surprise or two of his own. Remember the comment about Melissa being a scrapbooker - well Paul had a confession that accompanied his gift - he took a photo from one of Melissa's scrapbooks to add to his gift. And he insisted on assembling the gift bag himself. Sweet! |
 |
| Melissa's dad, Greg, loaned them his 1919 Ford for the day. I could have spent hours doing detail shots! |
 |
| Melissa's grandpa with her godchild, Gavik (I think I spelled that correctly.) |
 |
| Gavik and his dad came all the way from Alaska for the wedding. |
 |
| I took an awful lot of photos of Gannon and Rylie at the reception/dance. They seldom left the dance floor, and were a blast to watch! |
 |
| The song playing was "Fishin' in the Dark" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. You guessed it - "lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars..." |
