Rylee and Ryan are back on our blog for their wedding! They looked at rings together online and decided on this one! Gorgeous.
Rylee wore the same veil her mom wore when she got married.
Her mother-in-law gifted her this necklace.
Time to start on the hair! She had two hairstylists working on her hair at the same time. It was finished in a jiffy!
That’s Ryan’s sister and mom there on the right getting their own hair done.
While the girls were having their hair and makeup done, Nick met up with Ryan and his groomsmen in the morning to grab some shots of them shooting.
There’s Ryan!
Ryan’s dad found some mushrooms too!
This is when Nick said, “Ryan! Give me your sexy pose.”
The guys got ready upstairs at Union Christian Church in Terre Haute while the ladies got ready downstairs.
Putting on the wedding dress. It’s a process. Rylee had so many helpful bridesmaids!
Remember that necklace from Rylee’s mother-in-law?! Here she is putting it on her!
Dang, you two look classy!
I’m so glad Ryan showed his true, funny, goofball personality in his groom portraits. When he posted a picture of their marriage license on social media, he typed, “She said we were going to get ice cream.”
So Rylee asked one of Ryan’s groomsmen to put on a wedding dress and pretend to be her for their first look – a fake first look! This brave soul, Andy, was the chosen one.
It was a success!
Ryan’s mom and sister secured the back of the dress with a hair tie.
Okay, now for the real first look!
Nick grew up with these two, so he knows them pretty well. He said, “These two were made for each other.”
They wanted to get their portraits taken before the ceremony, so their guests didn’t have to wait for the reception to start.
Hey there, wedding party! Special shout-out to the ladies for working through these shots while heels were sinking into the grass. Ha!
Yeah, we loved this crew.
Rylee’s kiddos came to see her in her wedding dress.
Ladies, you are beautiful!
While the groomsmen were getting ready, they asked Ryan if they could skip the ceremony and go straight to the reception. Ryan said, “Well, I do have the marriage license right here!”
Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Gavin, you two are perfect.
Grandpa & granddaughter. Aunt & niece.
Ryan’s brother, Jordan, decided to test out the feet washing area before the ceremony.
There was no stopping Ryan’s mama from wiping dirt/mud off everyone’s shoes once they came inside!
If you saw our Instagram Story from their wedding, you know that those smiles came from Nick’s professional growling skills.
A couple who Ryan and Rylee look up to came to pray with them right before the ceremony.
Someone has taught this little lady some excellent hand-washing skills! She washed her hands for so long that the bridesmaids had to tell her it was time to line up for the ceremony.
Ring bearer & flower girl. Cousins.
Rylee’s dad and son walked her down the aisle.
Ryan tricked Rylee by having his groomsmen act like they forgot the rings. The very last groomsmen finally pulled them out of his pocket and proceeded to pass them down the line.
They took communion and washed each other’s feet.
We ended up with a little extra time before the reception, so we made an impromptu stop for a few more pictures! I’m so glad you guys asked us to!
Ahhhh!!! Rylee, you are crazy gorgeous!
Their reception took place at Idle Creek Banquet Center in Terre Haute.
They surprised Rylee and Ryan with a pillow. Side One: Tonight. Side Two: Not Tonight.
Speeches!
First dance.
Capturing some video.
Rylee’s mom and Ryan’s brother.
I. Can’t. Even. I’m dying.
I couldn’t have posed those boys like that if I tried. I just looked down, and there they were! Just like that in the middle of the dance floor.
Brother/sister dancing.
The shoe game!
They were asked who is going to be in charge of the remote control. They didn’t hold either shoe up and said, “The kids!” All the kids then proceeded to throw their own shoes on the dance floor.
Big Fun Band kept the party going all evening!
They even let Rylee and Ryan sing the last song with them!
Rylee & Ryan,
Oh man, friends! We love it when couples make their day unique to them, and you certainly did that! Thank you. Thank you for trusting us with your images and asking us to make random stops for more photos! We so appreciate your patience.
Caitlynn & Nick
Nick’s testing out lighting for family photos.
Watch out grandpas! Nick may just steal your lady for a dance!
Those wine glasses are EVERYTHING🥰🥰🥰
