Road Trip to Ill for Kristi and Jim's Wedding!


Time to hit the road for Illinois and Kristi and Jim's wedding! 
I stayed extra long in the States so I could attend this big day! 
Heather and I and the kids drove out together!  What fun!!!!


When you're in a hotel and the adults need to sleep in…
YOU NEED A COMPUTER CUBE! 

 TIME FOR THE WEDDING! 
Illinois soybean fields ready for harvest in the fall. 
The beautiful Maid of Honor, AMY! 
And some of her younger cousins!


Waiting for everyone to come in…
 You look so beautiful, Amy! 

Mom and brother Brian walking the flower aisle.  So pretty!
The groom awaits his bride! 

And here she comes!










Jim responding to the pastor's comments! 
The vows! 
The rings!
 The kiss!  
Jim's best man had done cartwheels
done the aisle prior to the ceremony-- He's still smiling!
 New daughter-in-law…
New son-in-law!!

   
Mommy and Bride!!! 



 And the happy couple run down the aisle!
(not really)
Happy Katherine!
Happy and Beautiful Sisters!

Brain and his wife Amanda
on either side of their sisters.
Love all those great smiles!  

And these smiles are the brightest!! 

Nathan and Holly and little Lily! 

Jeremy and Christine with their two 
youngest!
More sisters… Julie and Joy!

Nelda and Brian…

Brian and Amanda… the last couple in the
family that was married.

Lookin' good Mama!!


Love Mama looking on as Kristi enters the room!


The Wedding Party!! 

THIS PICTURE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE TONE
OF THE WHOLE DAY!!

 Almost the whole family…
We keep missing one or two!  

 Annie and Brooke have grown up so much! 

Gramma Annie with her newest little grandson…#10,  I think!

And my youngest granddaughter… #8..
 having a blast on the dance floor!
The Groom, Jim… crazy dancing with the kids! 

But then the serious dance…with his bride.

Brian and Katherine seem to be heating up…on the dance floor! 
Julie with 2 of her great kids and Gramma Annie! 

Amanda and Heather finally joined Kristi and all the
little kids on the dance floor.

I guess that's the last picture I took of this fun day.

It was a day of much celebration
and I'm so glad I was able to be there and be
with most of the family.  We missed Roger
  and Wayne and Andrea and kids, too…. but it was
wonderful for me to be with the rest of the crew!

Kristi and Jim..  We pray that you will
keep the Lord at the center of your lives and
that your new love will continue to grow as God
blesses your marriage.

Thanks for a wonderful day!
love,
Aunt Margie
