{Real Waterfront Wedding} Cheryl & Mike

As soon as this wedding with its waterfront location & pops of pink graced my computer screen, I couldn't stop obsessing over every last charming detail.  Feast your eyes on this beautiful wedding by Chi Photography of Charleston:

The gorgeous Cheryl & Mike said "I Do" overlooking historic Shem Creek with its classic low country views of palm trees, shrimp boats & playful dolphins.  Weathered docks & sandy beaches proved to be the ideal backdrop for the new Mr. & Mrs.  Gray skies were countered by big smiles & plentiful love.  Accenting the celebration were vibrant pink touches from the Bride's pink & white bouquet to the magenta bridesmaid dresses.  Now it's fair to say that two lovelies almost stole the show: the prettiest flower girl with a crown of pink roses & the darling bulldog with a pink pedicure.  Loving!

Plus wedding cake AND cupcakes?  This is a Southern affair to remember!

Is it just me or do you imagine these adorable bulldogs stole a bit of the spotlight during this wedding?  The flower collar, the little tux, those sweet, wrinkled faces- it's too much cuteness!!  

One little regret I have in regards to our wedding is not taking any photos with our fur baby, Beagle Bailey as he is such a huge part of our life.  Due to restrictions at our church & our ballroom, there was no way to include him in the wedding.  But I got ready at home & I wish I had snapped a few photos with Bailey.  That wasn't in the cards either.  As soon as my bridesmaids, moms, hair stylist & make-up artist arrived at our condo bright & early, Bailey started helping himself to bagels & searching the hair stylist's suitcase.  He's such a beagle!  I had to haul him to doggie daycare before he got himself in trouble.  So no photos of us.  Maybe if I'd had a bit more patience, we could have worked it out.     

Would you include your pet in your wedding?  Or perhaps in a few wedding photos?
