After all the hair-doing, we gathered all of our stuff and headed over to the church where Shanna and one of the bridesmaids were already. Talk about beautiful. Gals, I'm not sure I've EVER seen a bride so gorgeous! Even before she put her beautiful dress on, she glowed and shined.
All of the ladies used the church's nursery as a dressing room, and boy could you tell it was for the ladies! Smells of perfume and make-up, dress bags all over, it was so fun!!
Nora and I got our dresses and heels on and headed upstairs to start our job at the guestbook.
People started arriving and so did the fun! After most of the guest arrived, we were permitted to go and find a seat. Thankfully we were able to find the perfect one on the second pew!
As the music started and the bridesmaids came down the isle, Nora and I looked at each other with joy. Then, Sam came from behind the stage with a single red rose in his hand. I think I melted for a second.
The wedding march started and everyone rose to see the amazingly stunning bride come down with her father. I watched Sam's face as the doors in the back opened, revealing his bride.
Not even on a starry night have I seen such shine. His face lit up and his eyes twinkled with awe as the rest of the auditorium ooh'd and aah'd.
Tears of pure joy filled my eyes as they said their vows and a beautiful song was sung. Not a dry eye was in the crowd as the pastor announced Mr and Mrs. Sam Parker.
And then, I really cried! It was so beautiful and perfect.
The wedding party departed to Sam's house to take photo's at the barn. The rest of the wedding went to the reception and the family and rest of the wedding party took pictures by the lake.
Everyone was hot and tired, but it was definitely worth it. The food was delicious and I even was able to catch the bouquet! But the most fun part hadn't even begun yet.
Most of Sam's brothers and a few of the older cousins, (yes including me:) headed outside to "decorate" Sam's truck. Two cans of shaving cream, window chalk and soda cans were all over his truck. Someone even put shaving cream all over his pedals!
When they left in their sabotaged yet clean truck, fireworks were let off for an awesome departure.
It certainly was an amazing wedding! May God richly bless this new couple and their family.

Wow that sounds sooooo cool. One rose huh that is sooooooooooooo romantic! When do you get the pictures? cause I want to see them! So you caught the bouquet? Well I can think of a few people for you to marry :)
Celina! Now that's just naughty of you, if her mama gets wind of that, well, mark my words, it won't be pretty.
Sigh- Jess, your writing whisked me away to a romantic wedding full of beautiful ladies(one in particular) and loving emotions. It sounds just gorgeous. And that one rose was a very classy touch. You should compliment your Uncle Parker on that.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I just love weddings.
Ah yes, it was very beautiful. I think I've said that word enough! :) Haha! About the bouquet, after I caught it, I showed my mom and she said, "Jess, don't you be getting any idea's now!!" :D
Well Grace I am sure if Mrs. Jennie got wind of it she would laugh at me.
Wow! I cried at my brothers wedding. Weddings are so beautiful. All brides are beautiful <3.
