If rain on your wedding day is good luck, these two should have no problems — ever.

Casey and Tyler shared their “I dos” at the Morganton Community House in… wait for it… Morganton. It’s a beautiful old place, appropriately wedding-day-white!

While the sun was short-lived, it didn’t matter. The bride was brilliant enough just by herself. Glowing, happy, anxious, gracious — beautiful. And the groom and his groomsmen — well, they were rowdy, rambunctious, excited and fun!

Casey’s aunt is a stylist and owns her own salon. For the ladies, that’s where the day started. The salon was closed to outside business and the girls spent the morning being pampered with massages, pedicures, manicures and beautiful ‘dos.

Only one slight downfall to the community house… the ladies have to get ready in a coat closet:

The guys had to do the Ricky Bobby “what do I do with my hands?”

Casey chose to do a bridal boudoir session. Part of that session is a “little black book” to give to your man on your wedding. Here, Tyler receives his “little black book” in private, just before the ceremony:

Apparently every Bannerman, whether by blood or by marriage, has to learn to clog. Casey was a good sport and learned a few steps before the wedding. The entire Bannerman clan donned their cloggin’ shoes and helped Casey break hers in:

Everything about this day was just perfect. Yes, even the rain and crazy thunderstorm. The love that surrounds Casey and Tyler from their friends and families was beautiful to witness. Thank you both for allowing me the privileged of capturing your day!

I had my camera on the tri-pod yesterday. While it was there, I thought, “Hey, why not shoot me?” So I did.

Nothing fancy. Just typical ol’ headshots.

I am not a very high maintenance person. I don’t wear make-up, I usually have my hair pulled back in a ponytail, I rarely spend lots of time in front of the mirror. But when I go them on my giant screen, I totally started scrutinizing myself.

The first thing I noticed was my crooked teeth. Well… actually, the weird thing is that they are not crooked. The insides are, but the outsides are not. I think that means I have lopsided teeth.

Now, I know this to be how my teeth are, but man, oh man! Look at how funny they look when I smile. My lip just falls in between them. Silly teeth.

Next, I noticed that my eyes are really different! It’s not a bad thing or even something I mind. I just noticed it. My left eye (on the right below) is more green on the edges (or less brown in the middle) except at the top. The brown from the middle of my juts all the way to the top. Weird.

And then the right eye is much more of a true hazel color.

Here. I blew them up for you.

Sorry for the randomness of this post. I just wanted to share.

I can’t believe I am about to say this, but Gypsy opens in a little over a week! Ahhh. I have been trying not to think about how close it is, but I guess it’s time.

Not only that, but I am one of the 30 finalists in Rotarian Idol! If you haven’t heard of it, it is a nifty fund raiser that the Rotary Club is doing for the Catawba County School System. The thirty finalists will compete on March 13th in American Idol style – 3:00 songs. There will be 3 judges that will award the top 3 winners. And yes, if you have looked up the info on Gypsy, you will notice that there is a show that same night. Me and two other finalists (who are also in the cast) will be singing first and then booking it over to the theater to perform there as well. Whew. I am tired just thinking about it!

So, get your tickets to both events while they are still gettable.
