A wedding in Madison, Wisconsin

My older daughter was married this in July 2013 in Madison, Wisconsin. The bridal shower was held at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, where I took the following cell phone pictures.

The wedding itself took place in the Assembly Chambers of the Wisconsin State Capital Building. As the father of the bride, I had limited time to wander around taking pictures. These are the cellphone pictures I was able to grab:

And of course, I have to include a picture of the newly married couple, taken at the wedding reception:
