Man oh man have I been excited to show you these… not only because the people in the images are gorgeous… but because Kelsey is my sister.

“BOBBI HAS A SISTER?!” Yes, I actually have four siblings. 🙂 My dad remarried after my parents divorced and they had four children… (in order from oldest to youngest) Kelsey, Kaitlinn, Joey and Breanna.

I know what you’re thinking… “They don’t look much alike…”  You’re right. However, we sure do act a lot alike!  One of my other sisters is the nearly the spittin’ image of me… well, the super thin version of me anyway. 😉

Up until two weeks ago (when she and her husband came to Indianapolis to visit us)… I hadn’t seen her in twelve years. She’s now 24. For you math geniuses out there, yes yes yes…  she had doubled in age since I’d last seen her. WOWEEEE is she a beautiful woman! Kelsey went from that awkward stage we all know and love of twelve to the blossoming gorgeous age of 24… what a transition! That being said, while she’s one of the most beautiful women in the history of the world… she’s still the same goofball she’s always been. Though Kelsey and I haven’t seen each other in many years, we’ve always been close. When she walked in the door, we both started crying.

While they were here, I insisted on taking a few photos of them. 🙂 So, the last day they were here we stepped out for half an hour and made it happen.

Starting things off with my favorite. ❗

Kelsey’s always been so fashionable!I absolutely adore Anthony.  He loves Kelsey so incredibly much. Anthony is intelligent, patient, handsome, humble, driven, badass, genuine and couldn’t be more perfect for Kelsey. He’s actually a lot like my Mike, if I do say so myself! 🙂The light this afternoon was sexy!Those boots?! Yes please!Have I mentioned how beautiful she is?! Holy cowabunga!Love. Their hands say everything.

How they met, as told by Julianne   ::  “We were blessed to have fate (under the strict direction of mutual friend Christina Lee with the close supervision of Josh Morris) bring ustogether. Our first group outing led us to one of most dangerous hip-hop clubs in Indianapolis – a result of a little naievity and a major lack of common sense; the club has since been shut down due to recurrent violence. We were quickly drawn to one another by our similar personalities and also by necessity to avoid any dance floor confrontation with the club regulars. A week or so later we went on our first solo date, a bike ride down the Monon Trail, and after that, as they say….the rest was history!“

bride+groom

What was the most memorable moment of your day?

Erin: The whole day was memorable! Getting ready with the girls, doing a “first look” with Jean, my brothers walking me down the aisle, marrying my hot husband, partying at the reception and being in awe that EVERYONE traveled down to Key West for us, having our dream photographers there (no lie), walking up Duval Street with our crew… it was all perfect.

Jean: Seeing Erin in her wedding dress for the first time. She was so beautiful.

 

What was your favorite detail?

Erin: People didn’t really see it, but I had some fun blue shoes and blue toe nail polish for my “something blue.” I LOVED the boutonnieres and bouquets – specifically those little yellow billy ball flowers. I also loved the mason jars on all the tables.

Jean: Erin’s idea for the palm tree guest book was perfect.

 

Any advice for future bride/grooms?

Erin: You mean other than hiring Bobbi + Mike because they’re so fun and awesome? In that case, don’t stress about the planning or if something small does not go according to plan! Relax and enjoy the day. It really does go by fast, so make sure you step back and take it all in. At one point during the reception Jean and I went up to our hotel room and then stepped out onto the balcony (which overlooked the reception on the beach), and we took a minute to just take in the whole scene – the ocean, the lantern lights and lights on the palm trees, our friends and family, the steel drums… love it.

Jean: Have your wedding in Key West!

 

Funniest memory from your wedding day?

Erin: I laughed A LOT when I saw that picture of my husband and his best man with their pants down. That was completely unexpected! Also, Lola demanding that Gram come out on Duval Street with us “I’ll carry you home Gram! You can ride in the basket of my bike!”

Jean: Asking Erin why Justin was running around behind us, to which she replied “do you really want to know?” Thirty seconds later there was a lot of cake in my face.

 

If you could do it all over, would you change anything?

Erin: I wouldn’t change a thing. Everything was so low stress and perfect.

groom: Nope, can’t imagine it going any better.
