Teagan and Nels' Wedding

As I mentioned in my last post, Teagan and Nels were married on Halloween at Lantana Lodge in Pilot Point. They were blessed with gorgeous weather for the last day of October, and we were glad to share it with them. Here is a brief look at the day.

Teagan and one of her bridesmaids put on makeup upstairs in the bridal suite:


The only problem throughout the whole day, according to Teagan, was a tiny finger prick, which a kiss made all better:


Here are some group shots of Nels with his groomsmen and Teagan with her bridesmaids:




You couldn't tell in the last photo, but instead of more traditional footwear, Teagan sported bright red boots that matched her bridesmaids' dresses. We think it was a great choice!:


Right before the ceremony, the women peek through the blinds at the decorations, setup and guests, though Teagan makes sure she doesn't see Nels:


Then it was time to go outside! If you look closely, you can see that Nels' eyes were slightly red and teary as he watched his beautiful bride walk down the path towards him:


Teagan's father is also a minister, so after he gave her away, he stepped to the front and officiated the ceremony. Here he stands by Teagan just before giving her over, his personal bible in his hand:


The ceremony was full of beautiful prayer and reflection, as well as some funny parental perspective about Teagan and Nels in their youth. The couple also wrote their own vows, which were heartfelt and moving. The sun-kissed bride smiled as Nels said his vows:


Near the end, it was time for the rings. Here Nels slips the rings onto Teagan's finger:



After the walk back up the aisle, this time together, Teagan and Nels give a few hugs:


Back in the room for a moment, waiting to be introduced to the crowd, the bridal party mingles and feeds off of the excitement of the day. In the corner, Teagan and Nels share a poignant moment as husband and wife:


Teagan removes her veil and adjusts her hair as the setting sun casts a shadow across her face:


After the party made their grand re-entry, the couple shared their first dance as husband and wife. It was a sunset moment, just as Teagan had wanted:


After dinner and more greetings, the sun fully set, and everyone hit the dancefloor:


Time flies when you're having fun, and before anyone knew it, it was time to bid goodbyes to the pair. Guests lit sparklers as the new couple ran out to the car:


Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Jacobson! Have fun on your honeymoon!:
