wedding wednesday # 4 - ben loves julie.

julie & ben are one of my favorite couples in the world.  i was rooting for ben before julie knew she was.  & as it turns out, they are the perfect match.

juliebyrd + bennyboo = forever.  

in addition to their awesomeness as a couple, they had a super awesome wedding.  where?, you ask. vermont.  why?  because it's julie.  (if you know my sister, you know this is a reasonable answer to the question.)  they are both from oklahoma.  they have no relatives or history in vermont.  in fact, they booked their entire wedding before stepping foot in the state.  that is so cool.

without further ado, i present to you the wedding of mr & mrs vandaveer:

my sister is so pretty:

julie & ben decided to see each other before the wedding. 

a new tradition i love.

after all of the formal portraits, the two got to be a little silly

in this beautifully old car.

benny & his brothers, matt & ross:

miss ashley, myself, & the beautiful bride:

the wedding ceremony took place outside on an october day in vermont

with the backdrop of a gorgeous lake & super tall trees.

& then, as it does in october in vermont, 

it.started.pouring.

i love this picture of matt, 

as we all grabbed chairs & ran inside the tent.

so the ceremony continued inside the tent.

all were happy.

all was amazing.

all very julie & ben.

the most beautiful picture of the most beautiful couple:

happy wedding, my dear sister & dear benny boo.
