The weather couldn't have been any more perfect for an outdoor wedding at the home of the Bride's grandparents. We took this opportunity to take a few family pics of our own...
The ceremony took place in this gazebo.
Don't you love weather vanes!?!
Wanna see the bride and groom?
Okay!
and here's your close up...
here is one without such a shadow....
Apparently the groomsmen found a little praying mantis while they were out taking their pictures and started putting it on each other. Boys will be boys, I suppose...
Anyways, Brother put it in his bride's empty ring box and put it in his pocket. During his pictures with Bride and the families, he casually put the box on top of a nearby table, never to be thought of again. That is until the BRIDE, thinking it was her ring, went to get the box!!! Thankfully she didn't call off the wedding!
Instead of the traditional unity candle, they lit these lanterns.
Here are a few more pictures taken from the wedding and reception area:
As you can tell Brother loves Alabama football and fishing.
Here's a close up of the tables from the picture above.
...and here they are trying to escape without drowning in birdseed!
Farewell! I'm sure they'll have a great time on the beach in the Cayman Islands!
And what is a trip back home without an update on Gertie?!?!?
She was so disappointed not to be selected as the flower girl.
(Clearly she was excited that G came for the weekend and brought an outfit for her)
