Red, white and blue smoke bombs were just the beginning of the crazy fun on Dexter & Ellie’s wedding day!

They handled their excitement on the morning of the wedding differently. Dexter and his lone groomsman (Ellie’s brother; the rest of his groomsmen were military servicemen who could not come due to covid restrictions) had a relaxed morning across the street, and Dexter seemed very solemn about the ceremony ahead. He was quiet and focused.

Meanwhile, you could hear the sound of Ellie and her girls laughing and popping bottles of champagne from the other end of the property. They were both in their own way SOOO ready to get married, and we were so excited the day was finally here for them after all this time.

The party stretched into the night with hours of dancing and late-night snacks, but some of our favorite moments from the day were the quiet exchanges between Dexter and Ellie. They love each other well. Congratulations, you two!
