Wedding Bells are ringing

Last weekend we had the awesome opportunity to attend the wedding of my baby brother Jake. He married a wonderful gal named Katie and we are all very happy to have her as a part of the Burton clan. The wedding took place at the Richards house. It looked marvelous! Kerri, with Donnetta as her assistant, was the wedding planner. She did such a great job. We were not much but "out of town visitors", lol.

Here are some pics from the big week.I was bummed because I seemed to have a fingerprint on one side of the lens so it makes some people look fuzzy. I also let my camera battery die out before the reception. I missed some GOOD shots! Joey dancing with each of our girls for the Father/Daughter dance, Hannah catching the bouquet, lol. Oh well. It's a good thing there was a professional photographer there taking the REAL pictures, hehe.

When it was time to start the rehearsal, we noticed that all the little girls had just opened some soda. I guess Uncle Jake said they could, lol. Here is Hannah saying, "Uncle Jake told us to!"

Emma was very nervous of the bees, but Uncle Spence kept her safe
Joe was "game day" sound man. He couldn't see his laptop unless he blocked the sun. We thought he looked pretty cute with his yellow umbrella, hehe!

Katie and her dad

The little girls were sooooo cute! I overheard Bri wondering if one of the bridesmaids was the actual bride (when they were all dressed up I guess it was hard to identify which one was Katie, lol). When Katie appeared, I heard them exclaim, "It's the REAL bride, the REAL bride!"

Beautiful Katie
Katie started to feel a little light headed so they decided to finish the ceremony with her on a chair

You may kiss the bride

The flower girls

Can you believe Jakey is the uncle to such beautiful gals (plus a couple more who are not pictured)??

Ella was the sweetest little thing, just hangin' in her exersaucer for most of the day

The spread

By the time the reception ended, the little cute little white shirts were not so white anymore!

Oh my gosh...love the pictures! So wish I could have been in two places at once so I could have been there for the big event. But my nephew was getting baptized, so I was in Utah. Thanks for sharing the pic's!

I wondered where you were! We missed you. I'm sure the kids would have loved to see CHARISSE! :)
