But even though we escaped the Arizona heat, there was no escaping the Arizona cacti (which didn’t even look like cacti to us but instead like low bushes… aren’t all cacti three-pronged? And why won’t spell-check just let me write cactuses!) It was obvious we didn’t know a cactus from a bush and that we were not from Arizona. As soon as the first dance was over, we both stood there under a table lamp with Kate’s aunt’s tweezer set picking out cactus needles from our arms and pants.

Does it get worse than needles in our pants? A needle in Timon’s thumb. He uses it to press the back-focus button on his camera. He actually used the thumb anyway for the first dance. OUCH! How brave : ) We were so glad for the tweezers!! Cactus needles and weather worries aside, in all seriousness, we thoroughly enjoyed Kate and Chad’s special day:

Kate- She looked amazing and her veil was handmade by her mom:

I love this one:

Kate’s entrance was classic…

Maids of honor…

Sisters…

Chad and his groomsmen. Looking mean.

This was their own idea. they really wanted to get this one shot. we think there’s a story behind it we don’t know about…

“Shots in the dark”:

Last shot of the night to post but definitely one of my favorites of the day:

On a final note, Timon and I really liked their DJ group/band: The Spin.
