Morgin and Patrick Are Married!

Morgin and Patrick tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony a couple weeks ago. Beginning early in the morning until late at night – there’s just too many images for one topic, so I’ll start with the morning festivities today

We begin early in the morning at Salon Mecca in Port Neches and the staple of any good wedding day up-do: hairspray!





All Morgin’s girls came out looking fabulous and ready for the day ahead!From there we went to Morgin’s aunt’s home in Groves for a wedding day bridal brunch – a time for Morgin to spend quality girl time with her bridesmaids, mother, aunts and cousins. The first tradition was Morgin and each bridesmaid pulling a bit of thread from this cake – each person pulled a thread and a wedding cake charm was attached to the end. Each charm told the girl her fortune, predicting big and wonderful things ahead for her:





Of course Morgin’s charm was a Cinderella carriageMorgin then passed gifts to everyone, bringing the first of many of the day’s tears and hugs from her mom





Morgin’s girls then presented her with a “memories” book, filled with photos and mementos of their time growing up together (cue more tears, hugs and laughter):





A fun way to begin the day!

From there we headed to the church for final preparation for the ceremony. Hillcrest Baptist in Nederland is a beautiful church and the weather, tho hot, was perfectMorgin’s gorgeous dress:





Seconded by the superlative Sam from Houston, Patrick and his men arrive:





Meanwhile Morgin gets her dress laced up with help from her mom:





Almost done:








It’s amazing how much detail the bride goes into in making sure everything is *perfect*! Early morning hair salon trips, makeup, dress, garters, something old, something new, something borrowed… it can make for a pretty stressful leadup to the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Patrick has it so rough all he can do is play Mister Pianoman with his guys:





Stress, we don’t need no steenkeeng stress!

Patrick, his best man and brother Matthew, and their mom Beverly (awww):





… and the gorgeous Morgin is ready with all her beautiful bridesmaids:





With a dress that big, there really wasn’t a place for her to wait comfortably, so we just cleared the floor and let her rest in the middleA few more fun ones of Patrick and his men:





One last relaxed bridal portrait, we’ll have the ceremony and reception at the Neches Room up soon!
