Mary Jane + Brady’s Big Eddy Club wedding was one that I’d been looking forward to for months – for so many reasons! Their engagement session was an absolute blast, so it’s no surprise that their Cinco de Mayo celebration was just as wonderful. I mean… they had a CHEESE DIP FOUNTAIN. Yes, that’s right. A CHEESE DIP FOUNTAIN. I rest my case.

Mary Jane + Brady first started dating in the 8th grade (at the Valentine’s Day dance, to be exact) and dated off and on through high school and college. It wasn’t until a few years later, though, that they were finally living in the same town as adults . It didn’t take long for them to know that the other was “the one!”

Their wedding day was special for so many reasons. Mary Jane was the fifth woman in her family to wear her dress – including her sweet mama, who passed away just six months before their big day. Mrs. Julie was there in so many ways, though – there was absolutely no doubt about that. Mary Jane’s first look with her dad created one of my favorite images of all-time. There is no denying the deep love he has for his daughter – as illustrated by his tears when he first saw her. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house! Brady’s reaction when he first saw Mary Jane was just as sweet.

After a beautiful ceremony in front of a floral arbor, guests headed inside for a fiesta. Mary Jane is a professional dancer, and she could be found breaking it down on the dance floor for all of about 5 minutes. They ran through their friends + family shaking maracas before speeding off to their honeymoon. Mary Jane + Brady, it was the best day! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. Cheers to a lifetime of bliss!
