Kathleen and Stewart seem like they have been together for a long time (that may or may not be factual – I don’t truly know!) but I DO know this: they are extremely comfortable together, quick with jokes and laughter, and their families seem very united… all good things when you are getting married, right?!?  Kathleen got ready at her family home, which meant I got to meet her dog in a tuxedo- excellent.  Then, per family tradition, the bride and her family walk to church… luckily they live a mere few blocks away from the quaint and beautiful Little Flower Catholic Church, so it was not a long walk in the heat!  Then a reception at the MAC, which happens to be one of my favorite venues in St. Louis.  Enough chatter… here are the photos!

 

 

 

see?!  he’s cute, right?

 

 

and off we go! neighbors were outside to greet and wave — very cool!

and once at church I finally meet Stewart!
