Danny's Wedding from the Photographer's Lens

The wedding photographer, Andreas Galeati, was a friend of Danny's from their U. Maine Orono days.  His pictures are amazing, and he posted them to Facebook!  Here are some of my favorites:

The band was AMAZING...doing all my favorite covers.

The beautiful bride, April, with her dad, Ben Gilmore

Friday night, Mom and I went to Portland for the rehearsal at the Irish Heritage Center off State Street.  April looked so lovely in her white rehearsal dress!

Dad kept things moving smoothly.

The sweet couple!

 The rehearsal dinner was at DiMillo's Restaurant in an upstairs function room.

I had the tenderloin....it was sooo good!!!

Mom and I wrapped Abbey's hair in rags Friday afternoon and I was envisioning Shirley Temple ringlets.

Saturday morning, Mom, Abbey and I went up to Becky's salon in Bowdoinham to get our hair and makeup done for the big day.

I was so shocked to see how tight Abbey's curls were! 

With the amazing Becky.

 

SO EXCITED!

My friend Amy from www.oneinfiniteseason.com styled me for the big day.  She's a miracle worker, as I usually look like a contestant on "What Not to Wear". :)

Wow, the tears started flowing as soon as the bridesmaids started processing!

After the ceremony, we stuck around the church for pictures.

So happy for Uncle Danny!

Excited to see Uncle Johnny too!

The reception was at the Ocean Gateway, a cool function room out over Portland Harbor.

Cake pops!

Abbey was the first one on the dance floor!

The father/daughter dances and mother/son dance:

 

Logan even got Mom out on the dance floor!

At this point, my camera died.  It was a spectacular day with lots of love, laughter, and fun!  Delicious food, dancing with our cousins, and enjoying amazing music.  We're so happy for Danny and April!
