LAURA + BRETT = MARRIED


This past weekend I had the pleasure of standing next to my only sister as she married the man God made for her! What an honor and privilege it was to be apart of such a sweet and God-honoring ceremony. God gave us a beautiful day with PERFECT weather! I was just noticing as I was driving down my street yesterday that the leaves have really begun to fall off of the trees, but this past weekend those same leaves that are now on the ground were on the trees to make a beautiful back drop to the wedding ceremony. We had such a great week last week preparing for the BIG day and such a fun time celebrating Laura and Brett! So many special friends and family came together and helped to make this day special for my sister and I am so grateful to each and everyone one of you who helped make her day wonderful! We have some pretty amazing friends! Now they are off in St. Thomas for some much needed rest and relaxation enjoying being husband and wife! I cannot wait to see the photographer's pictures from the day, but I will leave you with some taken from my camera and iPhone.

This was from bridal portraits....isn't she stunning!

Up close shot!

The photographers never make a picture, but I snuck one of them doing their thing!

The pumpkins used for decoration!

All of the decor boxed up and ready to be put out for wedding day!

Benches used for the ceremony are delivered by WONDERFUL AWESOME AMAZING friends!

Last time as an engaged couple!

MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED


Two weeks from today, I will be standing by my sister on her WEDDING DAY! I feel like these last few months of wedding planning for her have flown by and I cannot believe the time is almost here! I am so excited for she and Brett as they begin their lives together. Marriage is such a wonderful thing! I am constantly learning and growing from my own marriage and I can so testify to how God uses marriage to sanctify us. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY TO GOD FOR MY HUSBAND!
The last few weekends have been FULL of showers to celebrate the upcoming wedding. We have had such a FUN time celebrating and honoring them. Laura and Brett are so blessed and have really gotten some nice things for their home. Here are a few pictures from the Couples Shower last weekend...
Dish towel "cake" I made with all kinds of cooking utensils attached to it!
Wreath wrapped with an extension cord with various HIS/HER items on it!
Sorry this picture is so blurry, but we mod-podged a pumpkin with her new initial!
The SPREAD.....the food was fabulous and included stuffed french bread, spinach shells, brownies, AMAZING pumpkin cupcakes, apples with caramel dip, layered Mexican dip, and black bean and corn salsa.
Julie made these cute pumpkin picture holders! They were so cute and I will be using the idea again!
Cute paint can that was spruced up to be the vase. Julie picked the most beautiful flowers! (And we got good use out of these flowers as Laura used them in her bridal portraits on Tuesday. OMG people, LAURA is the most beautiful bride you have ever seen!!)
Laura and Brett's chair marked by their "tools!"
Julie's mom made these pumpkins that each had a word from a Bible verse on them. SO SO SO cute!
Gift time!

Well I am off to breakfast with Pudge today and to help mom conquer some wedding to do's! Have a great weekend!
