Harley Davidson runs deep in this family. If you remember from Kristy and Jim's engagement session, they met at her father's Harley Davidson shop. And it was clear from the gathering yesterday that the motorcycle mystique has brought many friends into their lives. As Kristy's mom said "We only invited people we love" and the place was packed. While the last week up to the wedding was stressful (Kristy and Jim moved the week before the wedding and it rained the morning of the wedding), the event went off without a hitch.
Kristy's mom gives a quick peek at her during the make-up preparations.
And, I can say with all certainty, their ceremony was the quickest one I've EVER seen. Even faster than the wedding that had no guests but myself and the officiant. The picture below is the entire ceremony for Kristy and Jim.
Jim's face as he sees Kristy for the first time. collective "awwwww"
Kristy's family had said that dad would be the one to get emotional. Sure enough, he just couldn't hold back the tears walking her down the aisle.
Jim's mom was radiant during the ceremony, just beaming at her son and new daughter-in-law.
Jim's ring is actually his grandfather's wedding ring in the middle of two new band edges. And, since Jim's a motorcycle fixer, nothing's more appropriate than some tools to set up their rings.
Kristy and Jim were so ready to get the party started, they began dancing during the formal shots. LOVE IT!
I loved the story of Kristy's dress. As with good wedding traditions, Kristy shopped for her dress without telling Jim what it looked like. She found it in a magazine, tracked down a local vendor, and bought the dress. Weeks later, Jim saw the same dress in a magazine and pointed out to Kristy that he really liked it and thought this would be a great dress for her. Talk about being on the same page?! Anyways, I just loved how this photo shows off the red accents of the dress and its movement.
Kristy was trying to decide if she should bend to the crowd's will and show everyone her MC Hammer moves. She did. It rocked!
Axl Rose made an appearance.
So did Michael Jackson.
The dancing got wild, some could hang...
and others just had to sleep.
