Also the best picture of Steve we could get.
(Mike or Ethan, you might ask?!)
| A wonderful dinner the night before the wedding. |
|
| Some Oil of Olay for Brent -- compliments of Kari, Mike and Ethan. (A joke stemming from a game we played during one of our visits to IL.) |
|
| More gifts from Linda & Jerry -- lights for Brent because Kristi won't allow anything more than a 40 watt bulb in the house! |
|
| On the boat ride to dinner -- Ethan, Mike & Kari. |
|
| The boat ride after dinner -- Ashley, Marjorie, Wally, Jennifer & Steve. |
|
| Kari & Linda helping Kristi get ready for the big event. |
|
|
Steve contemplating the institution of marriage. Also the best picture of Steve we could get. |
|
|
Ethan & Mike -- don't let his cute smile fool you! He's more than a year older & quite the terror! (Mike or Ethan, you might ask?!) |
|
| Everybody's ready! |
|
| Stopping to give Ash some pets before walking down the aisle. |
|
| Will the ring bearer please approach? |
|
| You mean I have to get up?! |
|
| Good girl, Ash! |
|
| The kiss.... |
|
| Ash wants to be the first to congratulate us. |
|
| Gary & Patty -- are those tears in those eyes?! |
|
|
Brent & Kristi laughing about the the naked woman on the match book used to light the candles. Maybe the reverend didn't notice? |
|
|
The whole group (minus Uncle Ron, the photographer). You can even see Pepper to the left of Ash-dog. |
|
| One of Kristi's favorite picutres. |
|
| Another favorite. |
|
| Ash happy to have a father at last! |
|
| Some quality time with mom. |
|
| Mike & Kari -- probably watching Grandma Linda spoil Ethan (or posing for someone else taking their picture). |
|
| A quick stroll though the mud. |
|
| More gifts! Beautiful goblets from Kari, Mike & Ethan. |
|
|
Brent's look of chagrin when he realized the goblets matched Linda's shoes (unplanned, thank goodness!). |
|
| A toast from Patty -- one of a few that night. |
|
| Such an incredible sunset, we had to run out & take some more pictures. Another of Kristi's favorites. |
|
| Looking down from the master bedroom in the "wedding house", getting ready to eat cake. |
|
| The first of three cakes. |
|
| The first of a few slices. |
|
| The first of many bites. |
|
| Uh-oh....The crowd looks on as Brent & Kristi start throwing cake to each other. |
|
| And now, the honeymoon. But we'll save those pictures for another day.... |
|
| But how could we leave off without another picture of Ash -- who always enjoys the ride! |
