Jenny and Brandon Tharpe

Today I had the pleasure of doing makeup for my friend Laura's sister's wedding. It was in Perrysburg so I just drove down for the day. It was an absolute blast and as always I got some great pointers on what to do for our wedding. Remember bobby pins, right girls?

I spent most of the afternoon with them doing all of the ladies makeup as well as small tasks like trimming bouquets and manning the door to the bridal suite! I had a great time and it was so nice to spend some time with Laura and her family. It made high school seem like it just ended! Speaking of high school, Jenny actually married Brandon Tharpe who was in Laura and I's graduating class. It was so nice to see him again, especially on such a wonderful occasion!

Laura and bridesmaid Sara trying to square knot tie the beautiful back of Jenny's dress. It was beautiful, but konwing that I won't have bridesmaid's to do it for me, I'll have to look for a dress with a zipper! But the lace effect is just gorgeous!



Laura, Jenny and "Butler" Bob. Mr. McDowell was so funny...he was definitely excited for Jenny and it showed in everything that he did. I was the bodyguard for the door and he tried (a number of times) to offer me some of the fresh fruit platter. I told him that he'd make a fabulous butler!



Jenny was so funny. After getting ready and taking pictures with her bridesmaids and family she waited in the bridal suite for the ceremony to begin. After the first few minutes of waiting (out of an hour...I know...can you believe the wedding was running ahead of schedule!!!) Jenny said "So wait, I just have to stand here for the next hour?" How funny. I think she looked beautiful. And I absolutely LOVED her hair...photo of that to come...

Jenny's hair...how gorgeous is that??



Nazareth Hall is where the ceremony and reception took place. Nazareth Hall was created in 1928 and was a Catholic Boy's Boarding School. It has since been turned into a reception hall and it is GORGEOUS! It's just outside of Perrysburg but it's a beautiful drive.



I had to drive by my old neighborhood to get there, so I swung by for old times sake. I loved living in this house. Nathan and I always talk about building one of our own...(Mom and Dad can you believe how big the trees have gotten?)





Congratulations Jenny and Brandon!
