Julie's Wedding: Part 1

Here is the first installment of pictures from my sister's wedding this weekend. At this point, I only have pictures from my camera (and some really good ones I stole from Stephanie's blog), and since I was too busy to take pictures, there aren't many right now. As I get pictures from guests, I'll post some more. I will also be doing some video clips from the wedding over the next couple of posts. Enjoy!

On Friday, I picked up Lehna at 8am; and she, Zachary and I ran errands for the wedding with Linda all day before the rehearsal. Both kids were amazing. I was worried we wouldn't get everything done, but no problem! After the errands, we went to the Tippecanoe Amphitheater for the rehearsal.

And then there was Julie's wedding day. Can you BELIEVE the weather?!!? We were afraid that everyone would freeze at an outdoor October wedding. How wrong could we have been? If you hadn't heard; yesterday was the hottest October 6th on record! It was in the 90's!!

I was pretty impressed at how well Julie took everything in stride. I got to the reception site at a little before nine, and started decorating. Then Julie and I went to the wedding tent and worked here for a bit. Our aunts and Linda met us there and continued to work after we left to get our hair done. THAT was a disaster! My hairdresser (I've never used her before) started out by saying she's terrible at up-dos... then when she was half-way through my hair she stopped, turned around to everyone in the shop and said, "OK, guys, I give up... I don't know what to do". Ug... I left the beauty shop looking pretty bad. Julie said I looked like I had a koosh ball on my head. Luckily, her friend Jessica fixed the hair situation... and given what she had to work with, she did pretty darn well.

Julie looked so beautiful! My little sis is all grown up and married!! Here are some of the shots of the wedding and reception.

These are pictures from the wedding... Stephanie took these. I didn't have any, so I pulled some from her blog. Thanks for the great pictures, Steph!! If you would like to see some more of Stephanie's pictures, check out her blog via the link on the right!
