Our Everyday Blessings: Kendra's Wedding

The first few weeks of July were literally filled with wedding festivities. Amy and Brian arrived June 30th, Kendra arrived a few days later as did her Maid of Honor Taylor, along with Jacqueline and my Aunt Kathy. The following two weeks were filled with wedding preparations, showers, parties, and last minute outings wrapping up the millions of little details that naturally go along with planning a wedding and hosting family from out of town. When the big day finally arrived we were so excited to celebrate the beginning of Kendra and Andy's new life together and to be surrounded by so many people we love.

Brandon, Sadie, Wyatt, and myself were all in the wedding. So needless to say it was a hectic day for us. I didn't take any pictures myself, but was pleased that we all were where we need to be at the right times and that Sadie and Wyatt walked down the aisle without major incident. Poor Sadie did empty her entire basket of flowers in two handfuls and was pretty bummed about it, but they both held it together and Cooper, my little mama's boy, actually slept rather than screaming for his babysitters during the ceremony. So, all in all it was a success on our end!

Here are a few pictures I snagged off of Facebook from other people who did find time to take pictures and many that I downloaded from Kendra and Andy's photographer Lucas Gray.

The Ceremony

To say my Dad was missed on this special day would be an understatement. We all missed him terribly!!! To remember and honor him Kendra and Andy chose songs throughout the ceremony that were special to him, she wore his wedding ring, she had a picture of him tied to her bouquet, and she used the cake topper he gave her on her 16th birthday, teasing her that he was getting ahead of the game with the wedding cake. We always wish he were still here with us but especially on momentous days in our family such as these.
