Special teams
May 15, 2009
Adam and his teammates celebrate his great catch!
Ushers, sometimes they can be a little sensitive.
So you and your fiancé go through your list of family and friends and choose who will stand up with you at your wedding. Then, you ask two or three more buddies to be a part of your day and serve as ushers.
But somehow, the ushers always seem to get a bit jealous when they don’t get to be in all the pictures. “Ushers, can you please get in the group.” And they start to grumble.
Tiffany and I picked up on a fun comment at Megan (Knoche) and Adam Wardlow’s wedding in Quincy this January. We now refer to ushers as “special teams.” The game is at a critical juncture — who do you call in to get the hard, dirty job done? That’s right, special teams.
The guys love it. I guess it makes them feel special.
Event details: Location/Quincy, Illinois, service at Madison Park Christian Church, The Ambiance for reception hall, Blumin’ Express Florist for flowers, Designer’s Edge Day Spa Salon for hair and makeup, Hy-Vee for cake, I DO Bridal Shoppe for tuxes, JJ’s Kitchen Catering for food, Elite Bridal for dress (St. Peters, Missouri).
Our blog is new, and we’re trying to come up with our best pre-blog ideas to post here. Text by Steve / Warmowski Photography.
Leo’s Pizza, a reason to come back to Jacksonville
May 14, 2009
Julie (Surratt) Wilkinson was gracious enough to share her special day with her bridesmaid, Audrey Zeilman. It was Audrey’s birthday, and to mark the occasion she surprised her with a delivery from Leo’s Pizza! A neat idea and a great way to celebrate their history together.
Photos from the wedding are uploading now! Go to the Warmowski Photography web site, click on “See proofs from your event” and click on Julie & Phil’s name to see the images on Thursday.
Julie Wilkinson celebrates the birthday of her bridesmaid, Audrey, with a Jacksonville specialty — a pizza from Leo's.

How do you work the radio?
May 11, 2009
Riding in many a limo with our wedding parties, I can report the biggest difficulty is trying to figure out how to get the radio to work.
You get in the limo, then you see this thing that requires a computer programming degree to get it to play a CD. So you end up listening to a pop station, and that means commercials and usually a dearth of party music.
Here’s a two-prong suggestion for everyone:
1) Make a mix CD – get the music you’d want to party to, and burn a couple copies for the big day (so there’s a better chance it’ll make it into the limo for the ride).
2) Task a groomsman or usher with figuring out the radio and loading the CD. While you’re doing your receiving line, signing your wedding license and all the post-wedding fun, he can prime the limo with music.
This way everyone can relax after the ceremony and you can start your party with your best friends!
Sister sings
November 5, 2008
One of the most emotional parts of Jessica & Tim’s day (21 June 2008) was when Jessica’s sister, Carla, played her guitar and sang a song she had written just for her sister’s wedding day.

Little people in the wedding
November 5, 2008
Twice this summer, we have seen ring bearers brought down the aisle in a wagon.
At Stephanie and James’ wedding (7 June 2008), the littlest one slept through the whole thing, including when the other ring bearer stood near the wagon to check him out during the ceremony.

And, Jenna & John’s wedding (24 May 2008) also used a wagon for the little ring bearers. There are two kids in this wagon. The littlest one is all bundled up against the wind and dust. (**note:The color scheme of Jenna and John’s wedding was camouflage – and the little ones were well coordinated.)
