Mr. & Mrs. Dixon

After months and months of tedious planning to ensure a perfect day, all of my little sister's hard work paid off as she and Jon tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Sacred Heart in Winchester followed by dinner, dancing, and lots AND LOTS of fun at a reception held at Shenandoah Valley Country Club on May 14th.

I went out to Winchester after work on Wednesday to help with preparations, which mainly entailed making almost 200 cookies for the wedding favors:




Along with the wedding rehearsal and dinner:

I don't have too many pictures of the actual wedding day, but here a few from the morning prep:

The bridesmaids and mom stayed at the Carriage House on the grounds of the Country Club on the wedding eve. Hair & Make-up ladies came in the morning of to make us all picture-perfect and dad catered breakfast of, what else, but his famous blueberry pancakes!

Mom & Angela in the hot seat getting their hair 'did':


"OMG...It's my wedding day!!!"


The Bride's Turn!


Hair Done!


Finished product!


Julie Napear was the photographer for the day and captured so many amazing pictures - I'm not sure how Laura & Jon will choose!

Laura looked stunning in her dress - which was absolutely perfect right down to the custom sown lace in the back. She truely looked like a princess and I couldn't be happier that my little sis found her prince! Congratulations Laura & Jon!
