On the day Lindsey and Eric got married, New Hampshire had one of those freaky spring days where the weather does whatever it wants. It was 90, maybe even 96 degrees, and that might have been in the shade. Remember that when you see all the black tuxedos and full-length bridesmaid dresses down this post.
You’ll have to recall it, because you won’t see any heat discomfort on anyone the families or bridal parties. Not because the Wentworth staff were pouring champagne and giving out water bottles constantly (they were though!). Not because the heatwave broke in a rainstorm (that happened later in the day). No – the reason no one complained or even let a drop of sweat cross their brows on such a hot day was they were all so excited that Eric was finally going to marry Lindsey they wouldn’t dare do anything to spoil it!
Enjoy the pictures, share this post on all the sites you go to, and at the bottom of the page I’ll list all their vendors. Oh, and if you want to see the full gallery, you can follow this link.

Eric surprised and delighted by Lindsey in her dress!
