Rachel and Jack. Married.
The first look with her father. One of my favorite moments of the day!
The handsome fellas. These guys were hilarious!
SOCKS!
Laughter and love, right here…
Jack wanted these figurines to go on that small cake. He did get his way despite everyone telling him it wouldn’t work. You’ll see later on the blog.
The location was AWESOME! This is The Beverly Mansion found about an hour from Columbus. They were married outside by the water under a huge tree and had the reception inside this beautiful mansion.
Right before walking down the aisle…
When they were announced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Purcell they pulled in really close to each other and enjoyed a moment. It was, hands down, the sweetest moment I’ve ever witnessed during a ceremony.
I love you guys! ALL SO FUN!
Toasts!
Jack wins! Figurines on the cake. It did only last two seconds before they fell off but look how happy he is!!!
Rachel’s face here… (Mom, don’t watch!)
There’s one in every crowd! 🙂 “The hired guy.”
Serenaded! 
Who has karaoke at their wedding?! Fun people!

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?
Not a thing. It was perfect for us.

Catalonia bavaro – punta Cana, Dominican Republic – the resort should be condemned. Don’t go.
