wedding in bluffton!

Awaiting the arrival of the bride!
That's Andy in the vest,
his stepson Connor beside him,
his son Liam making them a trio.
Very nice!

Here we go now!
(I just had to throw some Ozzy in, y'all!)
What a lovely scene!
Such a beautiful day, too!
i thank You, God!

Andy reading his vows to Sheryl...
two pages' worth!
They were quite good ones, too!
(No, I can't recall the words,
just the feeling of the moment!)

It's official, folks!
They're married!!!
Ta-dah! It's magic!
Two single people transformed
into a husband and wife!

Andy and Jeff share a rare moment together!
They're brothers-from-different-mothers and life has kept them physically apart for too long!
I'm so glad they had this time to share...
and that my ex had me share it, too!
i thank You, God!

Here's a lovely family portrait!
That's Russ holding Alice while mother Ashley looks on,
as does Wendy!
Russ is her man, Ashley is her daughter-in-law,
and Alice is her favorite granddaughter!

Time for good eats!
Liam and Ashley were busy with
the barbeque, coleslaw, and
baked beans!
Connor, Ashley's husband and Wendy's elder son, was doing his part to put away the food, too.

Well, Connor was trying to eat!
Alice had taken up his lap and Jeff had taken his ear.
(smile!)
Now, time for me to set down my flip phone and chow down!
That's some of the best, leanest, pork ever!

Jus' chillin' in the chair, y'all.
Big dance coming up!

I wasn't kidding!
Here's that first dance
as husband and wife,
to The Beatles'
"And I Love Her" -
beautiful!

Then the groom
left the dance floor and
took up his bass -
time to jam and
get others up there to dance!

They didn't have to invite me twice!
Especially as the rock-n-roll song
was "Little Sister".
That's an Elvis song and I had danced to it in Las Vegas...
and wearing this same outfit!
Woohoo!

Let them eat...
DOUGHNUTS!
Krispy Kreme for him,
Dunkin' Donut for her!
I had one of each, thanks!
So much better than cake!

Then, somehow, we all noticed
the night had crept in on
the party.
Little Alice was going to be
past her bedtime...
and early-riser Jeff was right
there with her on that note.
Goodbye to all!
So very lovely to have shared
this wedding day!
i thank You, God!
