Stefanie and Andy's Wedding

The day of Stefanie and Andy's wedding was a beautiful one.  There was a friendly breeze, and the heat seemed to chill out a bit just for the day.  It was marvelous.

 

Going to weddings isn't easy when you have children, but we still hung in there, and our kids did the best they could.  They looked so darn cute in their fancy schmancies, and even though Dale was hot, he suffered along with the rest of the big boys in order to look "cool."

 

 

It's important to bring your flashlight to a wedding.  You just never know.

 

While the ceremony quietly went on in the front of the church...

 

 

There was a lot of this going on way way back in the back, where the naughty Garners were sitting.

 

It's impossible for us to sit still.

 

Congratulations Stefanie and Andy!

 

Yes, I get in the photographer's way to get my pictures.  I'm that person.

 

 

This is as good as we can do for family portraits.

 

Rose is crying and Dale is touching himself.  Yep, that's us.

 

Stefanie was radiant and beaming with happiness, and both Stefanie and Andy wore huge smiles the whole day.  They were truly a happy couple enjoying the moment.

 

Stefanie's bouquet was a piece of art, with family heirlooms and beautiful trinkets adorning the flowers.

LOVE the picture on the right.  Just love it, love it, love it.  Although, I have no idea what Stefanie is laughing at.  She's clearly drunk.

Matthew, Mary.

Robert, Annie, Mark.

Aunt Paula, Aunt Mary.

Aunt Barbara, Aunt Liane.

 

Patrick, Tom.

 

Britney and Scott.

 

The cake was divine, the flowers were exquisite, and the napkin said "Have a 'brew' and let the good times 'flo.'!"

A whole bunch of cousins.

While the ten hours of speeches went on inside, Max and Matthew were kind enough to entertain Dale and Rose with their seriously cool dance moves and poses.

 

Then there was dancing.

 

Phil and Stefanie.

 

 

And then the real party started.  You know, the one that involves funny kids and intoxicated adults making fools of themselves on the dance floor.

 

Dale aspires to dance just like Matthew.

 

My kids had a great time at the wedding reception.  Dale cried when we had to leave, and Rose was in a dance party coma.  So.  Who's next?
