A Texas Wedding

We drove to Texas last weekend for my cousin Will's wedding. It was a blast of a weekend! We got to see my brother and new sister-in-law in addition to lots of other family we don't see very often. And the wedding was beautiful and just lots of fun!

The kids with their great grandparents. We spent some time interviewing my grandparents on video, which was way cooler than I imagined. We heard some great stories...some that hadn't been told before. My brother is gonna edit it into a great DVD to share with everyone. I'm so excited to see how it comes out.

Tim and Nate were so interested in the old truck sitting out front. This is what Will & Meagan drove away in.

Wedding Extras

These are some miscellany pics from our time in OKC that I wanted to share.

Our first night there we had dinner at Pops...one of the coolest burger joints on Route 66. They have hundreds of bottled drinks from all over the country...new and old!


Nate snagged an extra goodie bag from the rehearsal dinner.


Mendy set up the cutest reception ever! Her nature-lovers theme was so perfect. She had silver branches with river rock on the tables with pictures of her and Tomy clothes pinned to the branches.



They served their favorite snacks in these cute glass jars. Doesn't Mendy have the cutest handwriting?! Love it!



Drinks were served in Mason jars, and the guests got to keep them.


Mendy's parents and SIL helped set up the cupcake tower. I didn't get a picture, but I will share one when I get it from someone else. They were cute!



Mendy painted these these canvases for the ceremony and hung them on pillars.


There were so many special details, and I know I missed getting pics of many of them. But it was a special day and everyone really enjoyed themselves. I loved seeing Tomy's and Mendy's creativity in everything they put together for their special day.

Best.Wedding.Ever.

The wedding was beautiful! The day was flawless. Loved being with family and friends and watching Tomy marry his soul mate. What a special day! Welcome to the family Mendy!

Rehearsal Dinner Decorations

We had the best time in OKC...despite the incredible heat and humidity! I have tons of pictures to show you, so I will break it up over several days.

The rehearsal dinner was tons of fun! I've been so excited to show you pictures of the decorations that I worked on for so long. It was a BBQ theme with food from Tomy's favorite BBQ place Swadley's.

The centerpieces had the table number and table topics/jokes, which were stuck into sand in the buckets. The small pails had each person's name on it with their first initial, and these served as the place setting as well as favors that each guest got to keep.
