a wedding.....



The perfect summer day.... a beautiful country setting... just the place.... for a wedding!!! And so it was, the wedding of Lauren (Nate's sister) and Johnny. I haven't been to a wedding in a while, and it was just so grand to attend. We had just finished a week of horribly hot weather, but it seemed to break just enough for this special day.







It was a great spot, with all kinds of walk ways, gardens, and ponds... before the ceremony, Abbie and Sadie had a little time to enjoy the gold fish pond. Abbie was thrilled that the fish would come right up to the "shore"....











Kas (and Nate) were part of the wedding party.















The Father and the Bride...... (Lauren was stunning in her dress)










And a very special moment... Lauren's Uncle John over saw the "legal" side of the ceremony and her Grandfather did the spiritual side (being a retired minister)... he has done hundreds of weddings.. but this more than likely will be the last one that he'll do.













The new couple.....












Taking a moment to catch their breaths before the reception....
















The parent's of the couple... Deb and Dave (in front) and Sue and Greg (in the back)....











Kas and Nate enjoying some time on the dance floor















As well as Dave and Lauren....














A nice photo of all my kids!!!!!














And me and my girls... (Abbie couldn't stay awake a moment longer!!!)












A"little surprise" for the newly weds!!!! but mostly, all our best wishes for a long and happy life together... and by God's good grace.. they will celebrate their 30 years together - like Ed and I will be doing next month!!!!!
