My first ever Civil Union ceremony was for our amazing cousin, Kyle, and his even more amazing husband Al! I have known Kyle (who is Brad's cousin), for close to 15 years, and I have loved him more with each passing year. He is full of mischief, laughter, kindness and love. Who could resist him? Certainly not Al, who is equally awesome - he is sweet, funny, handsome and maybe the nicest person I have ever met. I have so much love for these two, and I am so happy they found each other! Their Civil Union ceremony took place in Joliet, at the Will County Courthouse. They had a small ceremony with just their parents and Al's sisters and brother, and me! Then, they had a slightly larger reception in their beautiful backyard with close friends and family. It was an intimate affair, and so perfect. Al & Kyle are aspiring caterers and after tasting what they could do, I know they are going to make great things in their future! In more ways than one!
Here is a little sneak peek, more to come soon! xoxo
I found out after I took the picture below I was supposed to only take pictures in the courtroom! Woops! Oh well, I can break the rules to document a piece of history...
They had tables set up in the yard with plants from their garden as the centerpieces! Perfect!
I couldn't resist posting just one of my little man, at his first wedding!
