Matt's Aunt was kind enough to host an amazing reception at her home in Elgin, IL. It may have been a bit cloudy, but with the beach-inspired decorations, we may as well have been back at their wedding in sunny Miami! The cake was done by HyVee in Sycamore, IL.

Alli began getting ready in her hotel before departing for the cruise ship, and after arriving to the ship suite she got dressed and fully accessorized.
After the ceremony, we took a variety of pictures around the ship!
...and I may have taken my favorite photo ever.  The cruise photographer captured even more of Alli and Matt's special day:
It was such an honor to plan, photograph, and be the Maid of Honor in Alli's wedding, and it was a truly fantastic experience.  Since Alli's wedding was on a cruise ship in Miami, a beachy vibe was a definite must.

We ate, played some traditional shower games, and of course, showered Alli with gifts! The party was held at Barb City Manor in DeKalb, a retirement home with a room available for parties. Alli's mom had connections there, and it was a great place for friends and relatives to gather.
