OK…here goes! This is the second of seven posts featuring Sheri + John’s wedding in New Orleans, and the first post of their actual wedding day! We’ll take a look at the getting ready images first.

As a reminder, we are featuring Sheri + John’s wedding as part of our [100:1 series] where we showcase 100 images from 1 wedding day. On top of that, we’ve expanded our [100:1 series] to include comments from Sheri + John about the images, and what some of the moments mean to them.

SHERI: These are John’s cufflinks that belonged to his grandfather, his “Pa.” John and his dad stumbled across these soon after his grandmother died. He was so excited to find them and honored to be able to wear these on our wedding day.

JOHN: These were my grandfather’s cufflinks he wore for every formal occasion in his life. We found them when my grandmother passed away a few months before my wedding and I just had to have something from them in my wedding. Charles captured this shot as I was getting ready not knowing the meaning behind them until after he took the photo.

SHERI: The following images are priceless to me! I was so happy to have Charles capture John getting ready. So often the groom is put on the back-burner because a lot of focus and attention are directed towards the bride. The fact that Meg spends time with the bride and her girls getting ready and Charles hangs out with the guys, was a HUGE plus!!

JOHN: So I did not get into the room I was using to get ready until about 30 minutes before group pictures for the guys. Charles walked in about 2 minutes before I got into the shower and was able to capture several great shots of me in my fury of preparation.

JOHN: Like father, like son.

JOHN: I was giving Charles a serious face right before this shot, but when I laughed at my attempt to look serious and hot, he caught the real me.

SHERI: I *LOVE* this shot of John’s dad helping him with his dad’s cufflinks. So sweet!

JOHN: I have no idea how weddings worked before cell phones.

JOHN: I swear real bowties are easier than trying to hook these together without help – especially when you are running late!

JOHN: My wedding gift from Sheri. She is one of the few people that can made me cry.
