Maddie was excited for her first wedding on the outside, and was impressed with how fly her Dad looked.
Her grandparents, on the other hand, were impressed by her, as demonstrated by the fact that they could not be convinced to look at the camera.
Not even close to all of the Smyth clan was there, but there was a good sampling. From left to right - Taisie, Great Uncle Whit, Mom, Dad, kid, Great Uncle Bill, Grandpa Toby, cousin Laura, Great Aunt Francie, soon-to-be-cousin-in-law Rio, Great Uncle Chris, Great Aunt Susan, and cousin Wendy.
And, flanking the left - cousin and best man Faber, and on the right, Great Aunt Lu and mother of the groom.
The ceremony was held outdoors on a perfect, warm evening. Maddie spent the first five minutes of the wedding with her head tilted back, long enough that Jess had begun to worry that maybe she had strained or hurt her neck. Finally, Jess pushed her head forward only to realize that Maddie had just mastered total head control, and had been enjoying the beautiful tree canopy.
After the ceremony, the guests toasted the happy couple with champagne and strawberries .
Great Uncle Jeff and father of the groom shared congratulations with Wendy.
The elated groom, Spencer, toasted his bride by explaining that even though they had been married in a civil ceremony a year earlier, he had wanted to have a wedding, so that he could finally see his bride in her white dress.
The happy bride, Yana, managed to both enjoy the festivities and provide comfort for a very tired flower girl and daughter, Nika.
After dinner, many a Smyth was seen on the dance floor.
As well as a Page or two.
Dad was impressed.
Especially when Maddie stayed up until 10pm on the dance floor.Weddings rock!
