Happily After All: Bride and Groom and Dog Portraits

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of my second hair appointment of the day, but after we left finished our bride and groom pictures, and made a quick stop at my house, we all got back on the bus and headed to the country club where all of our guests were enjoying the beginning of our cocktail hour. 
Before we headed out to take some bridal party pictures, we had one more mini session of bride and groom portraits.  But this time there was an addition to be made.  Mr. T's uncle brought little Chiefy out to the country club so that he could be a part of the picture taking.
I absolutely love some of these "family photos."

 We still had our sunglasses on from the bus ride over.  I'm totally not a person that wears sunglasses so I don't totally love that picture, but it's still kinda cute.

For those of you with pets, I'm sure you know how hard it is to get them to cooperate during pictures.  You'll appreciate the following two, where all he wanted to do was love on us and play around.

That cute little puppy right there weighed in at 103 pounds last week at the vet.  He's definitely gotten a lot bigger in the last 9 months!

I can't remember if I ever talked about it before the wedding, and I can't seem to find the post if I did, but I just wanted to share a little info on Chief's tie quickly.  I purchased it from a great Etsy seller, Mia's Closet.  She worked with me to make a custom listing for the tie so that it was big enough to fit around his neck.  She also made the tie attach with velcro and included a bowtie that could be used as well.  It was totally ridiculous and adorable, and I am not at all a person that puts clothes on her pets, but I think it was fitting for the occasion!

Next up:  We all climb on golf carts and head out for more pictures!

Our New Puppy Chief

We have our little baby!!!  And we're absolutely loving him.  He is sleeping in his crate at night, and we only have to let him out once or twice in the middle of the night.  He's only had a couple accidents in the kitchen, but they were mostly our fault for not letting him out enough.
He's such a cuddlebug and he sleeps all day when he's not playing.  As promised, here are some adorable pictures.

Chief and his happy daddy.

 

At 8 weeks old, he's already 17 lbs.  He more than doubled in weight from when we saw him three weeks ago.

 

We thought about having a no couch rule, but it was too hard not to bring him up to cuddle with us.

 

 Look at those big paws.

Okay, that's probably enough pictures for now!  We decided on Chief since it was our college mascot, and it's from The Fox and the Hound which we thought was cute.  We had mentioned it to the lady that we were thinking about Chief when we went to visit, and that's what they started calling him.  She said he knows his name and will respond to it, so we decided not to change it.

There will be more I'm sure, but for now, I need to finish unpacking all of my stuff and get the rest of the Christmas stuff up so I can show you all.

Enjoy your holidays.
