When we met Caitlin and Lance in the beginning of 2017, it was for their engagement session and we had so much fun. We talked about how soon the wedding would be, but also, how far away it still seemed! But, oh how time flies! On 07/28/17, the marriage talk turned to reality, and Caitlin and Lance got married. The day was hot, but everybody was happy to dress for the occasion. They had family and friends from everywhere in attendance. You could easily see that these two are special and well loved in the hearts of many!
Both Caitlin and Lance readied themselves at the Rocklin Event Center, along with their perfectly selected bridal party.
Caitlin found the perfect dress designed by Rebecca Ingram, and her bridesmaids and maid of honor helped her with every detail as she got ready! I must admit...it was a first to see a knitting needle being used to button the back of her dress. These ladies came prepared and it paid off!
While the girls spent time getting ready, next door the guys suite was awesome. Although they spent a few minutes getting ready-most of their time was spent having fun and hanging out. Don't let them fool you though, Lance was still feeling those nerves...
With everybody dressed and ready, it was time for the ceremony. Caitlin had a few last minutes with family, before being whisked away to the ceremony a little girl dreams of.
A gorgeous bride indeed.
After having suffering the loss of her father only a couple years ago, Caitlin's brother would have the honor of walking her down the aisle and giving her hand in marriage to Lance on this celebrated day!
Lance had his back turned awaiting Caitlin. His reaction and her beauty were well worth the wait.
The ceremony was beautiful. A prayer for the newlyweds, vows said and rings exchanged-all to be sealed with a kiss-as the world was introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Barbosa-for the first time!
With the nerves gone, and the ceremony over, it was time to have some fun with family and the bridal party!
With all of the business, traditions, and formalities out of the way, it was time to party!!!
Their first dance looked like a fairy tale, as everybody watched in awe...
And once the dance floor opened up to everybody, the party was only just getting started!
Throughout the evening, and between dancing, Caitlin and Lance kept the entertainment going with an adorable shoe game, a challenging bouquet toss, and one of the best garter throws we have witnessed!
Whew!! What a night of fun. These two are such a beautiful couple, and were perfect host and hostess. Let's cut the cake and wish these two newlyweds years of luck, beauty, and wonderful moments!
Congratulations Again!!! May the beautiful joy that was felt on your wedding day, continue to be felt all the days of your marriage....Mr. and Mrs. Barbosa...
