 Brooke made a great surprise for Dakota. She wrote him a note that instructed him to look under his tie… And there was a sexy photo of herself stitched inside!

 Dakota wrote a sweet note for his beloved.

And then it was time.  The doors opened to the church,

 The officiant was hilarious, but the vows that Dakota wrote were SO great.  There was one line in particular… I promise to love you forever, because we will live forever with all the cauliflower we eat…. We eat so much cauliflower….

After the ceremony, Brooke and Dakota decided to spend a few minutes by themselves to celebrate! You can tell they were really enjoying the moment!

 And then they had their best man and brother, Austin, witness the marriage license.

 When their officiant signed the license, he put his title as the “Best Pastor Ever!”  I love it!

 As always, the father & daughter dance is one of my favorite moments.  What a special relationship these two have!
