(first of all. let me note. these are all out of order. my computer won't cooperate for long, so organizing them in order of events just ain't happening)
now...tada!
they're married!
the wedding and reception were absolutely GORGEOUS!
the wedding was at Royal Lane Baptist church and the reception at the Adolphus downtown, where we stayed
the flowers were exquisite
and all of the details were just perfect
we really had a wonderful weekend with our family
GTs parents came in town to help with the kids, along with Garrett and Cristie
and they were a HUGE help!
i seriously could not imagine doing the weekend without them.
they had the boys since GT and I were both in the wedding and doing bridesmaid/groomsmen things all weekend. baby girl just hung out with me and the girls.
i have the absolute best in-laws ever. the end.
i so wish Kristen were in this photo!
trying to feed the baby at the reception, but Townes can not leave her alone, ha!

all of the crazy grand-boys

Kristen was so sweet talking about her relationshp with each of us, her family and Josh
this girl, y'all
she's too much with that smile!
sweet grandmothers
i am eager to see the official photos from the weekend!
it really was an all-around wonderful weekend.
not only was it all beautiful, but it went smoothly and they're married!
I gave a tiny little toast at the rehearsal dinner.
and besides being an emotional wreck (which i quickly blamed on the 1.5week post-partum hormones), i talked about my relationship with Josh.
as a sister, you know a lot about your brothers. you know how annoying they can be and what buttons to push to really make them mad.
but, i've also watched Josh become a really good man.
a man that has worked incredibly hard in his education and profession.
he is an unbelievably loyal friend. with friends all over the country that he accumulated as he gained 2 masters degrees and a doctorate degree while living Mississippi, Texas, and California and Tennessee.
He seeks truth and understanding. He is quite hilarious and a gifted artist. He is a ridiculously good and natural athlete and loves to compete.
I so so strongly wanted him to marry a woman who knew these things about him and totally appreciated him for it.
and he did.
Kristen adores him. and she puts up with his quirks (rambling, to name one).
She is his perfect match and a super-awesome new sister-in-law.
Josh adores her.
it's been fun and slightly awkward to watch him show affection and be all lovey-dovey with her.
as much grief as i've given him over the years, I sincerely only want the absolute best for him.
and ya know, he got it.
