Weddings – Crystal & Robert

They met at Walmart. They both looked at each other and chuckled when they told me about how a friend had introduced them there 2 years ago. They joked about how they should get a sponsorship to tell their story on commercials, and how they would have to give their friend a cut of the money. Crystal and Robert are so beautiful and perfect together, though, that it doesn’t matter where they met – it was just meant for them to be together. They complement each other in the way that your favorite sweater and jeans always look great together. Robert’s cool, laid-back swagger makes him seem so much older and mature than his young years, and you can just see his love for Crystal beaming out of his eyes. Crystal’s adventurous energy is boundless, and she can make you laugh out loud with her dry sarcasm. I know how they fell in love with each other – I fell in love with them after working with them just for a few hours during their engagement session! After meeting Crystal and Robert, and talking with Allison on the phone several times in preparation for the wedding, I felt at home when I showed up Saturday morning. 

Their wedding was held at People’s Church in Greer, SC, and we drove over to The Davenport in Greer for a gorgeous reception. Crystal’s colors were pink and black, and because of the season, the church and reception hall were decorated for Christmas, and it was breathtaking. Blake from Jumpin Jukebox was fantastic, and everyone was on the dance floor all night long! 

I want to give my most heartfelt thanks to Crystal & Robert, Allison, and all of your friends and family for allowing me to be a part of this beautiful day together. I loved every minute of it, and I just want to say how much I appreciate you. You are all so real, genuine, and loving, and it made my heart swell to be surrounded by so much love and support. This is what life is truly all about. Please stay in touch!

Crystal’s Maid of Honor, Audrey, did her hair and makeup. She is VERY talented! 

 

I loved their expressions as they were looking at their gifts from each other!Crystal’s gift to Robert was both sassy and sweet – just like Crystal! 

 

Ring Shots! 

 

 

I couldn’t get enough of Crystal’s pink shoes. 

 

I LOVED Crystal’s dress! All of her bridesmaids were so sweet and helpful, and had so much fun joking around all morning! There was a countdown all morning… “Only 3 more hours until you are Mrs. McFarlin!!!” 

 

 

It was SO cold outside, but my girls braved the chills for some AMAZING shots! Look at that sky! 

 

Tahiti!!! 

 

This girl belongs on the front of a magazine! 

 

 

The guys looked ultra-suave and cool. These guys were really sweet, and had a great sense of humor! They really made the day a lot of fun. 

 

Robert’s grandfather performed the service, and gave a speech to introduce the ceremony that brought tears to my eyes. It was absolutely beautiful. 

 

There is nothing more beautiful than the look on the bride and groom’s face when they see each other moments before the ceremony. 

 

Have I mentioned how much I love Robert and Crystal? Look at them! BORN for the camera!!! 

 

Kim, Crystal’s friend, sang like an angel. My fiance wants to take her to American Idol! Gorgeous voice!!! 

 

 

You did it! Husband and Wife! 

 

Glam Time. Rock IT. 

 

 

The guys couldn’t really get the hang of what I wanted them to do, but it’s all good. The girls got it perfectly! 

Then they dropped Robert! He took it like a champ, though. 

What a good sport. 

 

 

 

Time to party!!! 

 

 

 

They look like a fairytale. 

 

Some of the treats at the reception included a chocolate fountain with fresh fruit, and an ornament for everyone to take home and put on their Christmas tree. 

 

 

Robert’s mother, Allison, looked STUNNING. 

 

 

 

 

 

Blake, the DJ, was one of Robert’s buddies, and was hilarious. Contact him at blake@jumpingjukebox.net to book your next event! 

 

Jake, the little boy in the glasses, STOLE the SHOW with his dance moves! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the night, amidst a sprinkling of rain and birdseed, Robert and Crystal left as husband and wife for their trip to Cancun, Mexico. 

 

 

 

The BEST OF WISHES to you, Robert and Crystal McFarlin!!!! I hope you are having an amazing time in Mexico!
