The picture below is (L to R) Bo, Me & Justin at a party hosted by Justin's parents the night before the wedding for the wedding party and out-of-town guests.
I had reservations in Wilmington at the Hilton which was right on the river and just down the River Walk from where the wedding was being held, thanks to a "Justin-movie connection hook-up". Thanks Justin!
On to the wedding, which was Friday afternoon at 4:30, at The Cape Fear Riverdeck. This picture below needs a little explanation. This is Justin, Bo and Justin's brother, Trevor. Upon my first introduction to Trevor, I didn't really think that he and Justin were that much alike. However, as time went on, I decided they were carbon copies. This is not a bad thing, but for those of you who know and love Justin, it adds humor value to know that he and Trevor are just alike.
During the rehearsal, as usual, there had been discussion of dropping the rings or losing the rings. Now dropping the rings would REALLY be a problem since we were on a Riverdeck and there were cracks between the boards. Earlier in the day on Friday, there were several of us at Justin and Lauren's house helping to get things done. Everyone went their separate ways and soon enough it was just me there finishing the flowers and Trevor speaking of the importance of him not dropping or losing the rings and getting a little nervous about the fact that he didn't know what he was gonna say for the best man's speech. However, it was still 2 or 3 hours until the wedding began and in the Soponis world, that's PLENTY of time. All that to say, this moment below is in fact the very moment that Trevor realized he had lost one of the rings. The limo was pulling up with the girls, Trevor was freaking out, Bo was laughing hysterically and in typical Justin form, he was doing his little signature head bob and laugh. Just so you know, the ring wasn't lost, Trevor had a hole in the lining of his tux pocket, so he just had to dig a little deeper.
OK....Crisis over....
The First Dance....
Eric Jones, Me and Bo. Eric was our 1st A.D. (Asst. Director) for SAVAGE. He and his wife Sara live in Wilmington as well.
A little entertainment on the water....
Closing out the night with a few last dances. We all had a great time and it was a beautiful afternoon and night for a wedding.
Since Justin & Lauren weren't leaving until Monday (i think), the party moved on to Elixir. Justin had taken all the serious pictures he could handle in one day, and by this point, it was back to the typical Justin. :-)

Congratulations Justin and Lauren! Thanks for asking me to be a part. I wouldn't have missed it for anything! It was a great time to see many friends all at once! I was so glad to get to see the two of you and Bo as well as Lydia & Jason (why did we forget a picture?), Eric & Sara, Zach, Shawn & Rachel, as well as many "new" friends that I met during the weekend.
Justin, I had no clue, a year ago, when you guys came to town that you would end up being great friends for life. Your laugh is infectious, and I can never look at you laughing and not laugh with you, even when I don't WANT to laugh at you because for just 5 seconds I want you to be serious. I could go on and on with Justin stories, but most wouldn't do to tell, ha. Just know that I think you have the kindest heart, that is as big as the world and I am so happy for you! You deserve it! You know I love you, Soupie!
