Where to start? 20 hours of driving and this wedding was worth every minute.
I instantly knew it would be a good day when I walked into the guys’ hotel room for prep shots and was greeted by a shirtless man who held out his hand and, in a silky smooth English accent, said “Hello, I’m Colin”. Oh Blog how I swooned. It’s a universal truth that all women love men with cool accents. Shirt or no shirt.
Not to be outdone, when I finally met Stephanie her beautiful smile and sweet talk of Colin didn’t disappoint! Her bridesmaids, who came from around the world, filled me in on all the juicy gossip…none of which I’ll share here! You know it’s real friendship when you travel from Qatar to Newfoundland for one radtastic wedding day 
I have to give a special shout out to Steph’s parents who are truly amazing people! They’re the bee’s knees! The mutt’s nuts! And various other British slang meaning “awesome” that I picked up during the reception thanks to Colin and Stephen (the bestman). Oh yea, Stephen, your speech was fantastic! Especially liked the part about finding inspiration in the toilet…
Ok enough chatter, once again I had a horrific time choosing photos; too much awesomeness.
Colin! Shirt on…sorry ladies…
Meanwhile, Stephanie was busy getting her make-up done by Colin’s sister…
Delicious cupcakes that the MOH, Linsday, made for the rehearsal party the night before…
Stephanie putting on the beautiful necklace Colin gave her…
Totally badass! Colin’s nephews were wearing the coolest cufflinks they brought from the UK…
Colin and Stephanie opted for a First Look before the ceremony…one last hug from her Dad before going to meet Colin…
Just before the rain kicked in and we ran for the hills…
After a short, but beautiful, blessing of the union service, it was out to the beach with just Stephanie and Colin for a little celebratory champagne…
Stephanie was one beautiful bride…
Not bad for one take! Sorry Colin, had to post it…
A little touch-up before the reception…it was really windy and rainy up to this point! Stephanie held up extremely well considering how cold it was…
I believe I forwarned the guys that anything goofy and potentially extremely embarrassing they did on the day would be caught on camera…this was no exception! Colin and his groomsman, Paul, who’s his brother from another mother getting a little action in while Stephanie stepped out for a second, and I see Stephen is enjoying it immensely! Be thankful I didn’t post the shots of Colin in a lime green speedo and red cape…
Colin greeting his new father-in-law; I guess a kiss on the cheek was out of the question after the last photo!
Stephanie obviously didn’t see where those lips had been just moments earlier!
Leave it to the Brits to teach me a new drinking game! Somewhere around 2am I learned about Boat Race: chug it and put the glass on your head or just dump the whole thing…
At Last! In the wee hours of the morning the groom carries off his bride…
