Shelby and Andy relax in their kitchen the morning of their wedding. In a time when it might seem natural to be head-explosively freakout-like during wedding preparations, this was an awesomely relaxed affair.

Just before her wedding begins, Shelby shares a moment with her two dads.

Such a special and unique relationship. These three are like peas in a pod, and quite hilarious together to boot.

Right after a family photo, the crowd scatters, and time briefly slows for Shelby and Lucas.

Ah, moments. I love me some moments.

The groom.

I’d wager a shiny nickel that Andy would be the last to call himself a fashion plate.

He’s a hard-working contractor, more apt to have a fat lip, cut hand and blood-blistered nail (that’s not a stretch — the first happened earlier that week, and the second and third were cropped from the photo) with his jeans and t-shirt, but the boy cleans up good.

Plus, as far as I’m concerned, he wore the best groom shoes I’ve ever seen.

Shelby, the bride, and li’l Lucas, enjoying the reception.

I think that’s enjoyment on Lucas’ face. It could be “get outta my face, man,” but I doubt it.
