wedding festivities continued...

we had worked really hard up until the day of the wedding. it was a small wedding but i had definite ideas of things that i wanted. my future mother-in-law mrs. sunnye,and jesse helped me make all of my ideas a reality.

jesse made this little box for jared to carry our rings in. the front of it had a heart with our initials on it. it was so cute and i loved it!

this was on the walkway at the entrance where everyone came in to the ceremony. the frame and the "B" on the little table were both gifts that friends gave us at our wedding showers. kimberly and grant volner made the frame for us and jessica king made the "B". jesse built the chalkboard. i had lots of chalkboards around the wedding ceremony and reception. katie came out and did all of the writing on them for me...she has much better penmanship than i do! i love that i will be able to use these chalkboards in our home. since our wedding was all about family i loved the saying "as two families are becoming one we ask that you choose a seat & not a side".

mrs. sunnye did the decorations at the ceremony with the chairs and the flower balls and tulle. she also made fans for us to use as favors. stacy had taken pictures of us and the one we chose was one of us kissing and i was holding out a piece of paper that said "i said yes". they turned out cute!

while the girls were upstairs getting ready the boys were downstairs taking their pictures. they looked so handsome in their matching khaki's and blue ties!

jesse and kevin were in deep conversation about something! kevin ran the music for us while kristen took our pictures. it was really sweet to have them there since they are the ones who introduced us to each other.

i'm pretty sure jesse is asking leslye for advice on his boutonniere here! i'm so glad she, charlie and the kids were able to come in for the wedding. these are all of my "almost time!!" photos...
