Courtney and Matt's New Year's Eve Wedding

I've got so much catching up to do and I really don't know where to start...so I just decided to start with Courtney and Matt's beautiful New Year's Eve wedding.

The weather was cool but clear, much preferable to the rain and humidity we had been experiencing earlier in the week. 

The wedding was held at Water Oaks Farm, a former horse arena.  You can see in the pictures it had a different name previously and dated 1884. 

This following picture was taken from the viewing box above. 

I'm sure this was a very prestigious place in its heyday!

Some pictures I took before the wedding. 

Emma Taylor and Hanna were junior bridesmaids.  They looked so pretty and very much grown up!

Hanna was an adorable flower girl.

Luke was such a cute ring bearer.

Emma Taylor looks so  much like her mother!

It was beginning to get dark by the time I got this picture. 

The beautiful bride!

Courtney with her sisters.

Ben and the bride.

Claire loved playing with the balloons.

She was one tired flower girl...and the wedding hadn't even started!

Finally the wedding!

 

Karen's family.  The lightening made it very difficult to get decent pictures!

Some decorations.

Let's dance!

Luke and Claire.  I think Claire was waiting for Luke to ask her to dance!

 

Alabama was playing their championship game that evening so, of course, a big screen TV and pompoms were supplied!  They won!

 

Happy Alabama fans!

It was a fun and wonderful evening.  Matt and Courtney looked so happy.  It was just the kind of wedding Courtney wanted!
