Wedding Pictures & News

First of all for the news... earlier this week, we got internet at home, and also a home phone! Email me for our number - I'm looking forward to being in contact with people a little more. (My cell phone gets terrible reception in our house.)

Also, we got our wedding pictures back from the photographer about a week ago, so I thought I'd share a few of them. They haven't been cleaned up or anything yet, but here are a few of the posed ones! I'll post the ones from the ceremony tomorrow.

Here is the beautiful window above the stage in the chapel.

This is how the front of the church was decorated.

Andrew with his groomsmen: his friend Donald, cousin Phillip, brother-in-law Collin, and brother Thomas, and our ring bearer, Connor (Andrew's nephew):

My grandmother had a picture taken like this right before her wedding, and so did my mom:

Me =)

With my dear friend, former roommate, and maid of honor Cara.

With my bridesmaids: Andrew's little sister Abigail (junior bridesmaid), long-time friend and neighbor Hannah-Joy, almost-sister Cara, Andrew's older sister Hannah, and life-long friend Danae.

With my flower girl, Libby. (I've babysat her since before her first birthay!)

My handsome husband in his last few minutes as a bachelor!

Connor had gotten cowboy boots and a cowboy hat for his birthday and was really looking forward to wearing them in Texas! (He also wanted to ride a horse to Texas, but for some reason Collin and Hannah didn't think that was a good idea.)

I love him so much!!!

It's official! Andrew signing the marriage certificate on the pastor's back.

And one last random one... these were the girls' bouquets - I loved them! Abbie's was just like it except made out of sweetheart roses so it would be smaller.

The signing of the marriage certificate is fantastic. That's gonna have me chuckling the rest of the day.
