It was such an honor to be a part of Allie and Colin’s wedding day! They got married at Old Bethany, a brand new wedding venue in Waco, Texas. Allie grew up in Waco, and met Colin at Wheaton College. It was sweet to see how many family and friends traveled from all over to be there to celebrate them!

I loved everything about Allie and Colin’s wedding day, but I’ve listed some of my favorite things below:
-So much joy. Not only could you tell how much Allie and Colin loved each other by the way they looked at one another, but you could tell how loved they were by everyone present. The whole day was full of fun and laughter!
-Colin and his guys got pumped up by watching The Office (Jim and Pam’s wedding of course!).
-Up north, groom’s cakes are not a tradition, so he had chocolate chip cookies and we convinced them to eat one Lady and the Tramp style!
-On a day where it easily could have been all about them, Allie and Colin took time to think of others - they let their guests choose how much they would donate to ministries dear to their hearts, instead of spending money on favors.
-Allie changed into a white jumpsuit, and they exited on a moped!

That doesn’t even scratch the surface of how amazing their wedding day was - I still get emotional thinking about some parts of it! Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin - we couldn’t be happier for you guys!!

Allie’s dad passed away a few years ago so her brother walked her down the aisle, and he and her mom and gave her away in her dad’s honor. I still get teary eyed looking at these photos.
