Well, the night was almost over at this point...and we were both drenched with sweat....it was a BLAST!!
What a fantastic wedding! We love you Mark and Georgie! Thanks so much for letting us experience this magnificent day with ya'll!!

Their professional wedding pics were AMAZING! The photographer was Michelle with Outstretched Photography and Design. Definitely check them out. I mean having New Zealand as the background of your wedding pics isn't too shabby :)
