Holly and Jim's Wedding Day

Here are a few pictures of Jim and Holly's wedding which took place July 28th. These are the members of the wedding party.

The groom and best man found a favorite and made to time to get something to eat

There was a very messy cutting of the cake but they made up when they were finished.

Wicked cold beverages were taken in way too fast! Somebody please tell the bride this is not ice cream!

This is only a few of the pictures. As we gather more of them there will be a web site made for Jim and Holly.

I almost forgot to post this picture. Some of the wedding party came down the night before because there was work to do the morning of the wedding. With overnight quests there is always someone who can not get out of bed in the moring.

What do we do when this happens? Note the redneck alarm in his hand! The persons in this tent shall remain unnamed. Everyone knows who is inside this tent.

A July Wedding In Our Family

There is only one more weekend in July and that is saved for the wedding. Everyone has worked so hard making sure every detail is perfect. This has put everyone being at wits end, the bride and groom arguing over nothing. Add a little stress, some interesting family members and what do you have? I mean, who is going to pick up the bridesmaid dresses? If you are wearing one go get it!

The bride and groom were at our place for the weekend so we were able to go over a lot of details for her day. This included the groom spending time with John mapping out the yard for parking the vehicles, tents and rigs for the overnight guests. The bride spent time with me getting rid of the last few weeds in the flower beds. While they were here and I was able to show her everything but the crazy quilted photo album. I had to keep something a secret.

The past month I have been hiding out making things for the wedding. Pictured here, is her photo album, flower girl basket, pen and cake knife. I was lucky enough to find a tiara the perfect size for the flower girl too. It was at the grocery store!
This is the photo album which i crazy quilted all in white fancy fabrics. The color she is using is blue so there is a hint of blue in the embellishing.

The front cover is where I added the names of the bride and groom and the date of marriage. The printed bride and groom is framed by lace from the brides great grandmother.

On the back of the album I printed a layered wedding cake. There are various colors of blue silk ribbon roses at the base.

There were the fun things to do for the wedding. I included a fancy bow for Max and Fritz to wear. I have already given them haircuts for the special day. I am responsible for suppling "something borrowed", another suprise I will save for the last minute.
