Yesterday, we were able to celebrate a joyous occasion! My brother married a wonderful, amazing woman in a beautiful ceremony with lots of family around! It was a great week hanging out with family and preparing for the wedding... and such a fun celebration! I'm so glad that my brother has found the love of his life (and that I get her as a sister-in-law)... they look so happy together. It was the kind of wedding that you feel joy just bubbling up and can't but smile! :) Just thinking about it makes me so happy to be able to be part of such a special moment in my brother's life! Here are a few pics from the week.
Us girls (my mom's sisters, my cousin and Kylie) went and got pedicures... we filled up all of their chairs and kept the place busy for awhile!
Auntie Vickie and mom doing their nails! Aunt Vickie is fantastic at doing french tips!
Second sunny warm night of summer? It called for smores and a campfire with cousins! A wonderful way to start the festivities. Nicole, Heidi and Christopher around the campfire.
All of us hanging out around the fire.
Rehearsal dinner with picnic/BBQ theme. So cute and the food was delicious!
Adam and Brenda's cake... was beautiful! I love the sparkly "G" on the top. It tasted quite good also!
Brenda's bouquet. So simple, beautiful and elegant. All of the bridesmaids carried 3 long stemmed roses.
Me and my handsome daddy!
Dad and Jordan looking quite dapper.
Brenda's sister, Julie, Brenda and myself. I liked our dresses... they were classy and fun!
Me and my big bro. Adam looked so happy all day. This is his happy-because-I-am-getting-married-today-to-an-amazing-woman face!
Family pic taken over the shoulder of the photographer. We had to get something to show around sooner, right?
Me and Chet. We were both in the wedding so it was fun being all dressed up together and walking down the aisle together. As of June 23rd, we've been married 4 years... yay!
Adam and Brenda with the ring bearer and flower girls (her nephew and niece). The ring bearer was the alternative entertainment for the wedding... he was hilarious climbing all over the stage!
Saying vows...
Jordan doing his toast! He did a wonderful job!
Me with Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Don!
Adam with Grandpa Kolar and Grandma Gessaman.
Big family brunch the next day! It was so much fun to just all hang out, even without Adam and Brenda (they left on their honeymoon) and enjoy everyone before people starting driving back to Montana.
There is the brief summary of the wedding! It was a wonderful, busy, family-filled week. Yet again, I feel blessed to be related to such a great group of people and to be able to share special memories together!
