Everything Estes: Our most precious day...

The wedding was the highlight of May, and it was absolutely perfect! I was the little girl who played dress up and pretended to be a bride her whole life. I collected pictures and items, and I knew exactly what I wanted for my special day. That special day came and went, and it was even better than I could ever have imagined. While it isn’t truly possible to thank everyone who helped and showed their love, there are a few people we would like to personally thank for their kindness:

Thank you to our wedding party for enduring the chaos of the wedding and helping with it! Also, thank you to our seamstresses who made the incredible dresses and junior groomsmen outfits- Aunt Debbie Hatton, Elisa Hatton, Elise Hatton, Liz Snider, Vicki Battin, Anna Snider, Bev Alison, and Chris Laird.

Thank you to Maura Leavitt who made our fabulous cake. It was exactly what I had always imagined, and more importantly, it was gluten-free so I could eat it.

Thank you to Kristie Blanchard, the most amazing caterer and wedding coordinator you could possibly imagine. Everyone was "wowed" by how incredible the food was. Just as important, I was wowed by how easily you calmed everyone and made things fall into place!

Thank you to Mike Jerome and Michael Snider for trying their very best to make sure every woman there got to dance. No girl should ever have to be a wall flower!

Thank you to my family (The Hatton Clan) who came in to help with the final chaos. I'm sure they never want to see an iron, fabric, flowers, or glue guns again!

Thank you to Miss Katie James for being our runner. I honestly think she ran back and forth between the house and the reception center at least 20 times! She was a miracle worker!

Thanks to our fabulous DJ Jeff Goodrich. He was so great to work with!

Thank you to our car decorators who finished the evening off with a smile!

Thank you to Vicki Battin who made a great Groom's cake which was also gluten-free and delicious.

Matt and I fell in love to the Beatles, so it was perfectly us!

Thank you to Susan Bahr, the one who made things work during the reception and wedding day! She was our photographer, decorator, outfit fixer, flower maker, etc...
