The Candlewood is a stunning venue on Candlewood Lake, and Christian kept everything moving to keep us on schedule.  The food was delicious–I had a filet that was about 3 inches thick and PERFECTLY cooked; Kelly had the chicken and declared it likewise. A mozarella salad with baby lettuce and tomato was fresh and crisp.

Music was provided by 3 piece band Ryan Dunne  during the cocktail hour; during dinner and the reception DJ Keith Alan kept the dance floor rocking. It’s HARD for me not to join in, lol. My own subjective measure of how good a DJ is is determined by how late I leave, and how bad I want to put my camera down and join the fun.  It was difficult on Saturday. Good stuff.

The girls were so much fun! Fabulous dresses!

A handsome wedding party! Everyone welcomed Kelly and me like family.

A fabulous day, with a beautifully radiant bride and handsome and very happy groom, along with a terrific supporting cast of family and friends.

A few are here, and the remaining blog pics will be up tomorrow: my apologies! Between pulling an all nighter to make sure everything was backed up last night, not being able to work on them with so many storms coming thru today, and Morgan and her cat tormeting the resident animals it’s been a busy day!

Started the day in Waterbury with hair and makeup at Cindy’s house, we moved then to Brookfield to the Newbury Inn for dressing and some quick formals–and dodging the rain–I think there were more than a few prayers offered cause it held off all day!

Kelly got to work with the guys, just before the limo arrived, and by all accounts was kept laughing the whole time.

The kids were precious! No tears during their big moment, and only a little prompting to get them to walk the aisle.

Carah’s grandfather escorted Carah to her waiting groom and was a very moving moment.

Afterwards, a quick moment alone!
