I was so excited to finally have a wedding at The Abbey Resort…and sure enough, the rain came pouring down soon after Shannon and John’s first look.  I have to admit, I was a little worried, but Shannon didn’t even bat an eye…she was just so happy she was marrying the man of her dreams.  It’s kind of amazing that I get these brides who are just so cool and calm, and so in love, that not even a little rain will get them down.  So, we picked up, found the perfect little indoor spot, and danced in the hallway.

The rest of the day was just magical, the rain cleared, Shannon and John were married, and celebrated the night away.  The day couldn’t have been any better…
