Amelia and Schuyler : The Oldest House Wedding in St. Augustine, FL Part I

December 3, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

My littler sister was a bride. My little sister is a wife!

It seems unfathomable, mainly because this is how I will remember her forever and ever. It’s how I remember all 3 of us, actually. I was going to post an embarrassing childhood photo of her to open this blog post but decided since she IS a Root bride, to not be mean and single her out. Instead, I’ll throw all of us under a bus. But hey, look how skinny I was! And fanny packs came back this year, right? So nothing to be ashamed of here. Moving on! <3

Thank you to our vendor friends for taking such good care of my little sister. From being treated like royalty while finding her dress at Solution’s to Jim keeping her dance floor packed, it was such a wonderful feeling knowing she was in such good hands. :)

And then there was this little miss- She was Nate’s shadow all day and I lost count of how many times I caught her running after my husband with outstretched arms, lol!

Ollie saw me editing the next two photos, and his captions were my favorite!

This one: “They sleepin’, Mama.”

“LOOK! She wake up!” <3

Second favorite part of their wedding day? La Hora Loca! Their guests all donned colorful masks as two drummers and two dancers burst through the door to have “the crazy hour!”

Justin may have not taken his first trip to Walt Disney World until 2018, but he’s a Disney kid at heart and can even give Allison a run for her money in Disney trivia! Allison and Justin are two of the most fun, fit, and friendly people we’ve ever met and it was an absolute honor to have a small part in their best day ever. :)
