(Continued from Part 1!)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as the ceremony was over, we kidnapped (bridenapped & groomnapped?) <\/em>the newlyweds for some photo time. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yes, in Africa, single women are actually called “spinsters.” No… Seriously!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We didn’t have the original hour for photos like we’d hoped, but we did what we could in the 10 minutes given!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lorie’s laugh is my favorite. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

About a month before the wedding, Lorie lived every bride’s nightmare- She had to find a “Plan B” wedding dress. Since bridal shops couldn’t order a dress in time, we hit the mall searching for the perfect one- Thanks to BCBG<\/a>, I think Lorie found the ultimate wedding dress that fits her personality- Much more so than the first. Things worked out perfectly in the end! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nate’s family is my family-in-law, and Lorie’s family is my family-in-love! I adore these guys- They’re truly my 2nd parents, and I’m so lucky to have them in my life!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m so sad Nate isn’t in this one! Our guides, Asterick and Herbie, toasting Jon. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yep. This was one of my favorite things about the wedding- Lorie requested African drummers to be at the wedding to drum while she walked down the aisle. What’d she end up getting? An African mariachi band! I think some things just get lost in translation…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In case you forgot, Lorie and Jon met while driving safari trucks at Kilimanjaro Safaris at Walt Disney World. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lorie, you need a 30×40″ canvas of this above your bed. Or fireplace. Just sayin’.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Lorie’s wedding vows to Jon, “I promise to be your fellow safari driver through life and after.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Instead of a reception, we all just went back to their suite and had dinner and some cake. :) And instead of a traditional cake topper, Lorie and Jon opted to put figurines of their favorite animals on top- Lorie’s being the giraffe, Jon’s the wildebeest. :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lorie, Jon, Mamma Phu, and Barry, we love you to the moon and back. Let’s do it again! :)<\/p>\n
