The Wedding!!!

I thought I would post a few pictures from my sister's wedding. The week was full of so many fun things. It as super busy, but I whole lot of fun. Kristen came home almost two weeks before the wedding so it was nice to spend some sister time together. We have not been able to do that is a while and I know it will be a long time before we have that opportunity again. I just soaked up every minute I could. Since they live out of town there were many guests who came from all over the country. All the girls(8) stayed at my mom's house and all the boys (8) stayed at my house. Both houses were completely full, but really fun. We spent the week before doing all the stuff that has to be done for any wedding. The big things we had to finish were the programs, but with the help of Sharon and ANissa everything go finished real fast. Then we got manicures and pedicures, had the bachelorette party, decorated both the ceremony sight and the reception sight, had girl time and then had a beautiful wedding. We were all a little nervous throughout the week because we have had such a long winter and it rained everyday up to the wedding. Then the day of the wedding was perfect. God completely blessed their marriage and the outdoor wedding was not too hot or too cold.
So, here are some pictures from the week.


For the bachlorette party we did a scavenger hunt around town and ended up in Roseville for dinner.


In the process of the scavenger hunt we ran into Chris who had picked up the first set of groomsmen from the airport and was wasting time while waiting for the second group.


We had dinner at Olive Garden and then went minture golfing. Of course we start playing in the rain. It cleared up, but many of the holes were flooded. What an adventure.


On Friday we decorated the reception hall. There were so many people to help and everything got done very quickly. This was really a blessing because were able to go home and have plenty of time to get ready for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.


Saturday was the weddding. First thing in the morning we headed out to the ceremony site so we could get ready in the bridal suite. We did everything that typically happens; hair, make-up, food, pictures and lots of laughter. It was wonderful. Then at 4pm the wedding began and it was everything Kristen had every dreamed of.

Then following the ceremony we travled to my parents church for the reception. It was perfect with food, dancing, a slide show (my husband made), cake, visiting and again just some fun.



It was a great day and they were very blessed. Now they are married and back in Texas after their wonderful honeymoon in Colorado Springs. I am so thankful for them and their life together. Love you Kristen and Chris!!!
