Stickley {the Wedding}

Claren and Ben

Cornerstone Church; Anchorage, Alaska

 

I think the thing that Ben was so excited about was his wedding accessories.  He had his amazing revolver, leathers, hat and motorcycle all purchased for the big event.

All of the groomsmen wore their family kilts. It was a fun mingling of colors!

Claren had just gotten back from the salon and her ladies in waiting helped her with her final touches.

Ben’s niece was the flower girl… and she was the CUTEST little thing.

I loved how the brass of the ammo matched Ben’s ring. Very cool.

Claren’s voice broke as she read the vows she had written: “I have always prayed that God would give me a man like you…”   Her eyes were filled  joy and tears at the same time.

Back at the Reception, the fun had just begun.  Claren and Ben asked their guests to help create artwork to decorate their walls by throwing darts at balloons filled with paint. The kids sure enjoyed that one!

Each guest filled a bag with their favorite sweets.

Claren’s mom made this beautiful piece of art… the gorgeous cake!  And Ben’s camo cupcakes were the perfect contrast.
