It was a year ago today that I was blessed to be a part of Colleen and Dino's big day! I enjoyed this beautiful couple's day so much! They got married at Chaumette Winery down in Ste. Genevieve, and it was just a great day! The wedding ceremony in the chapel was very intimate with a good friend of the couple serving as officiant. (More about him a bit later!) The day was very warm, so the hayride around the property was cut a little short, but we got some great shots among the grape vines. Just after taking a few shots of the bride and groom, I was absolutely shocked when a car stopped just as we were about to cross the road, and two of my great friends (who live in California now and were there for a different wedding) got out of the car!!! It was such a gift to get to see them in the midst of such a beautiful day! After the short hayride, the wedding party returned to a beautiful reception ceremony with great food and lots of fun!! Remember that friend who was the officiant? He is actually Dino and Colleen's neighbor and is basically family. Apparently, they had a bit of a joke going that he would wear a kilt and dance to the song the Drunken Scotsman, and boy did he! One of my absolute favorite pictures from the day is when Pat did the dance, and Colleen's reaction! ;) All in all, the day was absolutely wonderful and I feel so honored to have been able to share in it. Happy Anniversary to a great couple!!!
