WOW!!
Nothing like giving the
FAMILIES of the
BRIDE & GROOM
a surprise!
Everyone was told that the party
was an honorary fete for Glen's
25 years of service with the
FIRE DEPT
FIRE DEPT
and an
ENGAGEMENT PARTY
to follow the
honorary presentation.
LIAR, LIAR,
PANTS ON FIRE!!
When people walked in the door
here is the sign that greeted them.
This was made by Tara's oldest daughter-
ALANA---
this girl that has lots of creativity.
The next clue was the "altar"-
My new son-in-law
and my daughter are both
super-talented and artistic....
a match made in Heaven.
Tara did all the florals with help
from her sister and a friend.
Two little nephews and a niece
carried/tossed flowers down the "aisle".
Tara looked beautiful
In spite of the fact that she
was unable to wear the
gown she had commissioned to have made
for the wedding, (long story-don't ask),
she bucked up at the last minute
and ordered a dress that
worked for her.
Her dad (MyHero) married them.
That is my WHITE HAIR on the left-
with CJK (ringbearer)
on my lap -not a wiggle out of him
as he watched the wedding unfold.
Afterwards, during the presentation
of newly wed husband and wife,
Glen gave a very emotional speech.
He was adopted and
found his birth mom 2 years ago.
Both moms were right in the front and
get along beautifully.
He also recognized his ex-wife, Sue,
the mother of his boys.
He thanked her for
her part in his life and
paid tribute to what a good mother
she has been to their boys--
a testimony to the fine man
he is.
There was a first dance....
And a sweet moment where both had
something to quench their thirst.
Our friend, Jessica,
sent me all these pictures
this morning.
THANKS, JESS!!!
She is the one to the right
and my other daughter, Mimi,
shows off her red head on the left.
What a blessing to have Tara's
high school friends attend-
Rachel to the far left- her hubby,
Jessica (blond)
Mimi and my youngest son, Ryan,
Kristen and Jess (in front) taking the selfie.
It was a wonderful, wonderful night.
However, as much as I would like to
SIT ON MY BUTT ALL DAY-
I am off to pick up coffee for everyone
and help with cleanup.
ANOTHER SURPRISE!!!
oh wait....
NO SURPRISE THERE!
When the professional photos come through
I will share some of those with you, too....
and you might even see one of me if
they do enough photo-shopping so that
I look like Loni Anderson....
just sayin'------
Have a wonderful blessed Sunday.
Where are those blogging friends
when you need work done?
Clean up crew volunteers?
ANYONE? ANYONE? ANYONE?
