Down the Aisle: Christina + Jason

As Gretchen (sister-of-the-bride & Matron of Honor) said during her dinner toast to the charming couple, it's not everyday that a girl from Ohio meets a boy from Nebraska (while in Georgia) and then marries him in Colorado! :) But with Christina and Jason, it somehow makes perfect sense. Emir and I are thrilled they currently call Lincoln home, and we're even more ecstatic that we get to call them friends.

Christina + Jason leave for Greece this morning, so I wanted to post a few quick faves before they take flight. Here's at it you guys! :) Hopefully these are up and you can see them while you catch your connecting flight from Atlanta! :)

Christina is a gorgeous gal.... I love the way this image captures her pretty self!

There were 17 (or so) states represented (thus the destination wedding!).  In this image, one of Christina's bestest girlfriends from all time  (in from California) looks on as Christina's mom helps her into her dress.

Christina made all the flowers (hers and the bridesmaids!) herself in the morning. Incredible!

She couldn't have chosen more perfect earrings!

When Emir and I caught up with Jason, he was getting some last minute touch-up assistance from his brother Jared. :)

The wedding was held at the Lumber Baron Inn. They had about 120-ish guests and this site accommodated everyone comfortably (plus, it was gorgeous... as you'll see in these photos!). The delicious catering was none other than Purple Avocado.

This lovely hair flower was made by Lisa Keely (an upcoming KaBloom bride!). You can get in touch with her and see more of her work on her blog. Good stuff!

As guests started arriving, they were greeted by this adorable carved sign that Jason's dad made for them. How cute!

Jason and the guys.... complete with their Chaco sandals! (Jason is a hardcore outdoor adventure enthusiast... so naturally, this was the way to go!) This is another gem from Emir's cam....
