{Jami + Gabe } 10.11.08

You may remember Jami and Gabe from here http://jaimemariephotography.blogspot.com/search/label/Engagements, they were the couple that knew each other from forever ago and in the end got together. Well these crazy kids finally made it official! They got married a few weekends ago, and I was there to capture their blessed event. Although the weather was a little bonkers, considering the day before was gorgeous and then the day after was nice, everyone worked it out.

This one of the fellas is one of my favorites. It shows how cool and suave they are.....

then this one shows how silly the really are.

The happy couple....

They had the biggest wedding party I have ever seen! There were 18 of them all together. You can't really tell from this picture, but the weather that day was terrible. The ladies were freezing!! I felt so bad having them out in the cold.

The first dance.

Ok. Jami is from Ohio, and apparently they have a big college football program there. Jami and her family are big fans of this Ohio team. I don't really know much about college football (except for what the man has taught me-I am sure he has said something about Ohio, I am just not sure I was listening). So during the reception one of her bridesmaids got up and gave a speech about the Ohio team, it was directed at Gabe. They even gave him some kind of nut necklace to wear. After they let him know that he could "take the girl out of Ohio, but never the Ohio out of the girl" everyone (and I mean everyone) from Ohio proceeded to sing the school's chant. O-H-I-O!!

It was bananas! They were doing the arm thing and everything. This tirade went on for at least 10 minutes. I had never seen anything like it. Of course it was all in good fun. Which made it even more silly.

Jami and Gabe, I had such a wonderful time hanging out with you and your family. You two are truly blessed. I hope your honeymoon in Hawaii was off the chain. Love ya.
