Pictures of the Wedding

Well, there were a few disposable cameras around that got developed from the wedding. There was another very good one of Ian "eating chicken." The entire dance floor was full and the poor boy (who had not been fed nearly all day) helped himself to the chicken wings. I will try to scan it in later. We have been very busy. We had the Father/Daughter dance then Sports camp. I will post pictures soon. They are still in the camera - which is in my purse downstairs and I am too lazy to go get it. Maybe tomorrow...:)

Here is a picture of Amanda coming down the aisle. It doesn't look like many people were there but there were. Notice the blue skies? Remember, it was "supposed" to rain.

This is a picture of Owen and Alexa, doesn't Owen look very handsome! You could never tell it was 90 degrees. Of course, Alexa always looks fabulous.

This is a picture of my mom in her dress. Remember, the one she fussed over the straps. She NEVER took off the jacket! Who knew pink was her color; she looked great, straps and all.

The Wedding

First of all, let me apologize for not having ANY pictures. I had my camera with me the whole time: rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, stuffing donuts, getting nails done, getting ready, the wedding, the reception, the trashing of the car and I have NO pictures. I didn't take any not one. I didn't really realize this until we were coming home Sunday morning. I was SICK! Owen was afraid I was going to make them go back to my mom's, put on all their garb, and take pictures. I entertained the thought for a fraction of a second and moved on. Oh well,
Like I said, the wedding was beautiful. There was the threat of rain the entire time and as we were about to leave the house, my "optimistic" grandmother called to inform us (Emily answered the phone) that there was a tornado warning in effect for our immediate area. We (Emily and I) decided to keep that information to ourselves for a while. It did start to sprinkle just a little at the beginning and there were enough thunder bursts to make an atheist pray. I think my mom went through the whole ceremony in a meditative state. I'm not sure if she actually saw any of it. In case you didn't know, it was an outdoor wedding. Emily has decided that she would like an INDOOR, air-conditioned, bug-free type environment. I asked for it in writing. I think it was my sister's dream wedding come true. It was a lot of fun. I wish you could have all been there. I wish I could show you the pictures in my mind. Thanks to all of you who have been praying through this whole engagement and for those who prayed that it wouldn't rain. We found out the next day that it was actually raining (quite hard) all around us the entire time. Several people didn't come because they were certain it was going to rain. Yea of little faith - they missed a great time! The couple is on their honeymoon in Bermuda.
