Wordless Wednesday: December 2, 2015 (w/linky) - Our Family Has Gotten Bigger

My oldest son got married this past weekend. That just doesn't seem possible. He found himself a wonderful young lady and we are so glad we get to welcome her into the family. The wedding was beautiful and the children were so excited to be included. The girls were flower girls and little Harold was the ring bearer. Yes, there are going to be a lot of pictures. You have been warned.

Let's start with the preparations, shall we.

We arrived at the bride's house and headed up to the bedroom where all the other ladies were getting ready.

The bride was getting a bit claustrophobic, so we headed downstairs.

I was not expecting her to have any desire to do the girls' hair. She sure surprised me. Personally, I wonder if doing their hair was helping to calm her nerves.

Final preparations for the bride.

I had to share the following picture. It is the only one I was able to snap of the girls heading down the aisle. As I am the mother of the groom, I was escorted down the aisle right before them, and I couldn't get my camera ready in time.

Yes, Steven, your bride is on her way.

Here comes the bride.

Now, it just so happens that the bride's father is also the pastor, so he gave her away and then headed up the steps so he could perform the ceremony.
