It's been a long couple of days...

Both the ceremony and the reception were held at Hilton Baptist Church in Newport News, VA. It is an adorable church, very traditional. We don't have a lot of that here in Southern CA, so I was charmed by the homey tradition of it. They even had the organ playing the processional for the Bride's entrance!

Pre-Wedding Readying

With the wedding being at 4:00, that allowed plenty of time for us west-coasters to sleep in and get up at our leisure, get ready, and get to the church with time to spare.

Since we were in the same hotel as the whole Baker clan, we were able to hang out and visit while getting ready... it really felt like a family affair.
