What a relief...

...that I'll never have to do this again! :) I was flattered that Jon and Jess wanted me to do their wedding, but I think I'll stick to kiddos from now on. My brother Jon was married to Jess on Friday June 12th in Michigan City, IN. It was absolutely gorgeous. I have way too many pictures to show them, but I've tried to give them a good edited selection here. Here's a play-by-play!

First the preparation:









Jess' dress had amazing details.













And then...they meet!



And exchange gifts...

















Warning: the remaining pictures may be a little heavy on the mini-Willhelms!





Jess' beautiful niece Lily:




Jess' cutie pie nephew Sam


I think we all wanted to do this!


My kids haven't learned proper dress up etiquette! As a sidenote, Evie wouldn't wear the cute shoes I bought for her. She insisted on wearing her cupcake sandals! :)


Evie's face is cracking me up. I don't know why she looks so sad!


From one extreme to the other!




The Ceremony! There really were guests there. They just sat in the front ;)







Graham wouldn't walk up the aisle unless Greg gave him our hotel room key. I'm still laughing at this. You can see it in his left hand.






Such an emotional ceremony! Even the photographer was crying.














Jess' Aunt Jean, Aunt Susan, and cousin Cristen arranged all of the flowers and did a great job!






My parents look very excited to get their "specs on the beach" cocktails! (Jon and Jess are both optometrists, so they had specs on the beach and eyeball highballs to drink)










Ring bearing is hard work!


The next morning at the crack of dawn!


Get a room!
