TARA'S SURPRISE WEDDING

this is how the night went....

everyone was invited to an "engagement party" for tara and mike. so their close friends and family that were local showed up to celebrate the engagement.


just hanging out before the excitement began.

my sisters and dad
my sisters and mom
all the girls (how sad, where is my brother during these?)
then around 7pm she went upstairs and put on this dress and called up each of her brides maids to tell them that she was getting married "that night" and gave them each a lei.


then everyone gathered in the back yard for a toast for the couple (still not knowing what was about to go down). once everyone was gathered in the back the person giving the toast (the person marrying them) asked for the couple to come up to the front, tara was no where to be found, next thing you know she walks out with my dad in her wedding dress, then the guy marrying them says "welcome to the wedding of tara and mike." people went nuts, crying, screaming, clapping....

people were still in shock at this point

she gets to the front and is so excited to have surprised all of her guests
such a good sweet wedding.
mike had always wanted an in n out truck at his wedding, so that pulls up at this point.
the kids are stoked!

the happy bride

WOW! She looks GORGEOUS! You and your sisters look so pretty. I love seeing you all together since I've not met all of them. Love the last shot of the newlyweds, too. They are one handsome couple :)!
