Love and JOY

I know those of you who check here are waiting so patiently for news of Emma's wedding.
It's going to take quite a few posts to share all the picture and stories....

Let's start with the big finish.  The I do's.

Shall we.



Fresh breath is a must.




Katie was the Maid of Honor but she couldn't have done all of her MOH duties without the help of Whitney!  Thank you Whit!




Meet James' daughter Lorelei.  
I'm delighted to be a Yaya again.
It's a girl!





Whitney and Carolyn.
Carolyn is a florist!  It's her new career and she created gorgeous flowers for her roomie!




Melinda was so much fun and very beautiful!




Katie and her cousin Brandon.  
Emma met James at Brandon's wedding in September.
Thanks for getting married Brandon :o)





Excellent petal tossing girlies!
Lorelei and her cousin Poppy. 






Here comes the bride. 

When your son in law looks at your daughter like this....
all is right with the world.





Proud papa.
Radiant bride.












Their vows were beautifully written and so touching.









He called her Emma Jean.








They kissed a long time.
Melinda is not a fan of watching people kiss.

The luckiest.
The happiest.

This joyous picture says it all.

Love and unbridled JOY!!!

For as long as you both shall live.

Love Always.
