Happy New Year and the wedding pics

Wow, this is a super long post and I finally got all the pics uploaded. Happy New Year to everyone. We did blow up the tree last night and I will post pics of that later. For now, here are the promised pics of the wedding.

This is JT and his groomsmen getting him ready and checking the time.
While R's bridesmaids were busy making her more beautiful.

Funny pic of J before the wedding.

While I was busy putting up some of my favorite baby pics of R.

JT and his family.

JT and his mom.

Getting the girls cinched up into their dresses.

JT and his dad. Two peas in a pod, right?

Ah, the girls are dressed and ready. Aren't they beautiful?!

Final check in the mirror.

Nanny and R.

R and the precious little flower girl.

JT and his mom's family.

The couple on the left is my nephew and his fiance. They are the next wedding in our family.

JT and Pastor H waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Aww, aren't they cute?!

Here comes the bride.

This is where T choked up a bit giving JT the key to R's heart.

Instead of a unity candle they braided three cords together. R came up with the idea reading Ecclesiastes. It was very special.

Love this pic.

You may kiss the bride!

Us five.

We gained two sons in one year.

All of my immediate family. How did my brother get so tall?

R and JT's wedding party.

And one with the ushers.

The sisters. T and I are often amazed that God gave us these two lovely young ladies.

R with her bridesmaids. The young lady on the left is my brother's daughter.

R and JT with the flower girl and ring bearer.

The happy couple with JT's dad.

I really like this pic.

Getting ready to cut the cake.

Oh, the garter. I made two garters for R, one to throw and one to keep. I made them out of army camo and lace.

Once JT finally got the hang of how to throw it (it took three tries) J caught it.

And A caught the bouquet. Kind of weird, but they were both happy.

We tried to get them to hide their car but they didn't think anyone would mess with it. Ha!

Love this pic.

Daddy and daughter danced to "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman.

22 years, Baby.

A dancing with her daddy and J dancing with his momma.

A and J did a little impromtu dance and it was pretty good.

Lining up for some Cha Cha Slide, Macarena, and of course the Chicken Dance.

And a good time was had by all.

Well, JT has to be back to his base by Sat night so they will leave on Sat morning. R will take care of some paperwork and be back here for about a week until JT graduates. If nothing changes, they will head to CO after that. Only time will tell for sure. We'll keep you posted.
