| Lettering by Kirstin |
Kirstin and Kyle had their Ring Ceremony and Reception at Jennette's Pier in Nags Head, NC.
We were blessed to be able to set up some the day before and then finish it off the morning of the event.
This is what we decided to do for centerpieces. Just a simple bowl with shells and floating candles. It was perfect! I loved how they turned out!
I had Nell, Dede and Emil's mom over one day to help decorate the cookies we had at each place setting as wedding favors. They looked great and everyone enjoyed a snack as guests waited for the couple!
I did all the desserts and they turned out well- thankfully!
My dear friend, Nell Long did a fabulous job with greenery.
I asked her to do something to fill the space we were working with and she worked magic! It was just perfect!
Chris and Dede pre ceremony.
Catherine and Galen, The Maid of Honor and Best Man!
Kyle's ready!
The weather was very windy and a storm was imminent. That morning I had seen this phrase and it so described my feelings. This day was going to be perfect no matter what the weather!
But we decided to set up under the pier just in case it began to rain!

| I love this happy girl! |
So, since Kirstin and Kyle asked Emil to perform the ring ceremony she had Grandpop Moster walk her down the isle.
This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite pics. I love the blues!
Looks like Emil missed his true calling as a baptist preacher!
| So just to give you some idea of how amazing our photographers ( click on the link to see the full wedding album. Coastal Shots. )were this shot above is what we got for shots from them all the while this pic below is what it looked like without their amazing lighting! The two silhouette guardians are Emil M. and Noah. Love the outline of their hair! |
Talk about wind blown! This is one of my favorites!
I love my life... I could not ask for more.

So the storm was threatening and we were only able to get in about 5 minutes of pictures before we had to retreat from the rain!
Dancing the night away....  |
| Love this shot of these two! |
 |
| This one of Kyle and his mom makes me want to cry every time! |
After the rain cleared they got some more shots outside.
It was just a magical day! It could not have gone better. We were so blessed in so many small ways and some very large ones.
We had so much help from family and friends working to help set up, helping cook, decorate cookies, lending dishes and tablecloths. They were all blessings and helped so very much but I would be remiss if I didn't mention my dear, dear friend, Jaime Johnson who listened to me stress over details for months beforehand, talked me off the ledge when I needed it, brainstormed decorations and worked tirelessly in the kitchen and with the food. I can't believe I didn't take one picture of her! She was amazing and I can never thank her enough for all she did!
And now, I am so glad it is done and that I will only do this 2 more times from the perspective of the mother of the groom!
All the photos were taken by Ryan and Hayley Diegelmann of Coastal Shots. They were amazing and if you need a photographer on the Outer Banks you should pick them!
