My cousin Melissa got married on June 9 in Pendleton OR. Don and I went down for the wedding along with all my siblings, except Josh who is overseas still. Here is Grandma just arriving at the church with Allison, Melissas younger sister and the maid of honor. Grandma amazes me! She is 93 and still traveling all the time!!
Grandma came in the bride room and gave Melissa her "something blue", a beautiful little bracelet.
Allisons little girl Faith was the flower girl, she was so beautiful
Here comes the Bride
They were really sweet together. I think during the above picture I was singing a song for them. They had just done their unity sand and were waiting for the song to finish. I sang "I will be here" by Stephen Curtis Chapman. It was an honor to be asked and my aunt told me afterwards that it made the whole ceremony come together, which was such a compliment. I even had a lady in their church ask me the next day if I would come sing at her wedding at the end of the summer!
The first kiss
This is Allisons little by Gage, he was sitting with his grandparents watching his mom up on the stage. At one point he was waving at her, it was pretty cute. He's a doll!
McCall and Cameron came with us and Jessicas step daughter Chandra came with her, they were the designated babysitters during the wedding and reception. They are holding Lexie, and Regan as cute as ever on a little horse! I love that girl!
And.... On to the reunion portion of the post....
The boys thought it was all about them.... this picture proves that!
Above is mom with both her parents and all but one of our siblings. This was I think the second time in my adult life that I have seen my moms dad. It was really special that they were both there. Below is Melissa with her cousins and sister. Kaylee on the end did Melissas hair for her.
Aunt Sara and Regan. She loves me best!! It was so good to see her. She kept asking me to come home with her when we were all saying goodbye. She is just such a sweetie!!
Me and Jen and Lexie who is about 7 months old. SO CUTE!!
I have no idea.... Jeremy and Jeff hijacked my camera for a while. I also ended up with pictures of half eaten plates of food and the mens restroom door. :)
Lucky for him, I still love him. This photo represents about 50% of his personality!
Ok, so Regan is the biggest HAM there is! She can't help but shake her little body when she hears music. She was immediately out on the dance floor when the music started. She's dancing with Faith and Gage in the picture above. And proves she can hold her own on her own in the one below!
Shakin' her groove thang!!
Me and my baby.
Matt, Jen and their baby.
And finally it was time to say goodbye. This is me with Uncle Phil and Aunt Maria who is my moms younger sister and my three cousins. Matt, Allison and Melissa. It was the most fun weekend! I really enjoyed spending time with everyone and seeing family from all over. And such an honor to sing in Melissas wedding. Don and I really had a great time and can't wait to spend more time with them.
Thanks for posting these pictures, even though I have the WORST posture so I look dumb in half of them! It was a really fun weekend, I am so glad I was able to go and see everyone. Can't wait to come see you again in Spokane!
