my little brother is married!

my little brother is married!!  to a beautiful, gorgeous woman, both inside & out.  ally truly is a joy to be around & brings out the super fun man in brent.  we are incredibly excited for the beginning of their very fun life together as husband & wife.  so without further ado, introducing mr & mrs brentalan!!

the wedding & reception were held at the gorgeous farmer's market in oklahoma city.  i love the historic beauty of the building with the modern touches.  the sparkly lights & white lanterns, the crackly brick walls, & the fabulous view of downtown okc...

 {the devon tour is so tall.  ridiculously tall.}

as soon as brent saw his bride walking down the isle, the tears formed into his eyes.  i've never seen brent cry {ok ok, maybe as a very small child when i stole his racecars or beat him at nintendo}, so it was amazing to see the joy & true feelings in his face.

my bro-in-law, benny boo, officiated the ceremony.  the words were sincere & whitty & loving & perfectly brent & ally. 

& the reception was crazy fun!!  our family favorite band, ij ganem band, played the night away.  we danced, we laughed, & we celebrated the wonderful couple.  so much fun.

the one & only amy cakes made the stunning wedding cakes!  all five of them!  amy cakes is pretty much the best cake maker ever.  she made my wedding cake {here} & makes my favorite cake in the entire world - amy cake's lemon cake.  oh, i love that cake.
