Shawna's wedding

My cousin, Shawna, married Jeremy a week and a half ago on a beautiful December day. The night before the wedding, some friends graciously invited us to have dinner at their home and spend the night. The next morning, Mom and Mel got out the hair styling book and went to work.The end result was very pretty! It was a very fancy wedding, and since we were dressing formally, she wanted a hairstyle to match. Shawna asked Melody and I to play the prelude music, and we were happy to be a part of her ceremony.

Mr. and Mrs. Penney

(Jeremy's grandpa was the man who started JC Penney's.) My cousin, Kristina, was the matron of honor, and her two little girls were the flower girls. They were so adorable! You'll see quite a few pictures of them on here since they were so cute!

Kristina and AlexaKaitlyn My grandparents and the happy couple. Kaitlyn is such a ham. After the wedding, we went back to my aunt's house for a few hours before the reception. Kaitlyn and Melody had fun playing on the piano together.The reception was held at Drury Lane. We had never been there before, so when we walked in all we could say was, "Wow!" We are definitely small town folks who haven't been many places like this one! It had a dining area, theatre, hotel, and different ballrooms.

The chandeliers were beautiful!Needless to say, we took advantage of the picture-taking opportunity. I was dying to try this grand, but I didn't dare!

More cousins, Rick and Dani, with their two boys, Ricky and Dale.


Mom and Dad coordinated well in their cream and brown that day.

The tables were beautifully decorated.


Jason made sure we took some pictures of the food.




Kaitlyn and Alexa eventually got comfy, and they decided to try out the dance floor.
