Here Comes The Bride . . .

So we survived the wedding . . . (Large sigh of relief) : )

As I mentioned in my first post, my only and younger sister Courtney got married to Brent Warner this past Friday night. The wedding was at our church in Rochester and the reception was in a big outdoor tent at the country club in Taylorville. Everything went really well . . . and thankfully it didn't rain : )

The only mini-crisis was the unexpected heat. We decorated for the reception on Friday morning and during the course of the day. . . the lavender chocolate-mint daisies looked like a big blob of purple. Thankfully, Katie and Amanda came to the rescue and fixed everything up for us!! THANKS LADIES!! Of course, the other issue was when the cake could be delivered. Luckily, they agreed to wait and bring it about a hour before we were to arrive.

The ceremony was pretty and rather entertaining. . . if you know my sister at all you know how excitable she can be. And how she knows no embarrassment. So she was hurrying the minister up so they could kiss and swinging and swooshing her dress all over the place. Brent was a crying, snotty mess most of the service, but made it through his song wonderfully! At one point, he reached for his shredded, used tissue and blew his nose, responding with "Yuh, that was disgusting"outloud. : ) But it was fun and done in their own unique style : ) No one would have expected anything else. . .

They left the reception for Sunset Suites in Clinton and left Saturday for Pigeon Forge, TN. Our family is getting together on Father's Day for them to open their gifts.

Check back this week--I am hoping to have some pictures posted.

weddings always have something go wrong...the two that I've been in recently (my sis's and Sara Ruff-Coverstone's) have had unique issues. At my sis's the guys forgot their tuxes in Peoria and the wedding was in Lincoln, so one of the groomsmen practically flew to Peoria and back the morning of the wedding. At Sara's there were large storms which took out a couple of roofs and the electricity at the church. Thankfully it came back on the morning of the ceremony.
