Wedding Weekend - Wedding

The day of the wedding all of the girls rode the bus over to the church to finish getting ready for the big event. They got married at Highland Park United Methodist Church where Drew is the missions coordinator for the youth. Kim's dress was so beautiful. Her sister is using a crochet needle to get all the buttons in the back buttoned.Lori finishing curling Abbey's hair.

A few of the girls from the youth group that just graduated from high school offered to help with the kids that day. Before the wedding, while we were taking pictures, they took them off to play. They drove them from the church to the hotel, played/ate/danced with them at reception and stayed upstairs in the room with a few of the sleepier ones. It was nice for the parents to be able to relax a little at the reception.

We got to the church at 2:00 and the wedding was at 4:00 so Carter was struggling a little due to his lack of napping. No one was going to take that bag of goldfish away from him at that point...even to take a picture :-)

Abbey, Emery and Bella watching the ceremony. The older kids did a fabulous job walking down the isle. Carter made it halfway down before he looked up and realized that a lot of people were looking at him. He froze and started to cry but Drew walked down the isle, picked him up and kissed him before he handed him over to my mom. It was a precious moment.After the ceremony, the whole wedding party loaded up on the bus. We enjoyed toasting the newlyweds before going to the reception.

As their guest book, Kim and Drew had all the guest take a picture that they put in an album and then wrote a "sweet something" next to the picture. What a creative idea!

Congratulations Drew and Kim! May God bless your marriage for a lifetime! We love you!
