I, Jessica, Take You, Brian

Well, I told you I'd share some pictures of the wedding, so here they are.   We will get the pictures back from the photographer in a few weeks, but until then, you can see some that were taken by me and family.

This was at the grounds of the Reception area.  I love the water fountain in front.




Jess bought gifts for all her bridesmaids, and even her mom and dad.  They were such thoughtful presents too, given to us at the rehearsal dinner.


These were the flowers that were on the guest book table when you first walked in the door.



Something old.......my sister made the ring bearer's pillow, and she used the same fabric that I had for my wedding dress.   She's such a talented seamstress.


Nel spent a couple hours creating all the signs for the reception.



These flowers were at the chocolate table.



Jess' garter and purse.



The beautiful veil.


Mother-of-the Bride and dear friends. (I'm in the middle).


The little flower girl's dress.


The maid of honor's bouquet.  Jess wanted Nel's to be all white.


The Bride and Groom.



Sisters......Jess and Brian's sisters.


The cake.   Can you believe Brian's mom made the cake?  She worked so hard on it, and it was delicious.  It was three tiers of chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and red velvet cake.

The *sparklers* were so beautiful at the end.


I hope you enjoyed the pictures of Jess' wedding.  It was a fun and wonderful day.  And now, they're off on their honeymoon for two weeks in marital bliss.


*Dear Jess, you may have a
new husband, but
I'm still the best man
love, Teddy*

Sheri, the wedding reception looks beautiful! All the attention to detail are so special. Nel did a great job on the signs! All the flowers are beautiful and so pretty in their containers. I love the use of tea cups. The happy couple look ready to enjoy a life of happiness. Teddy is so sweet in his tuxedo...I do hope he finds a special place in their home. And Sheri, you look beautiful in that gorgeous gown! The ring bearers pillow certainly has special meaning. Jess' gown is just beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a special day, dear one. ♥

Judging by the pictures,it was a dream wedding with beautiful people and arrangements. One could say the young couple has started off their marriage life on the right foot. Everything went smooth and that's a very good sign for the years to come.

I love your Mother of the Bride dress, gorgeous material! And the Bride's dress is simply lovely, I love the shoulders!

Everything looks so sweet and full of meaning, Sheri, from the ring bearer's pillow down to the amazing cake, made by the mother of the groom.

Stephanie said...

Ooooh, I squealed with delight when I saw this post {{smiles}} What a lovely wedding, my friend. Your daughter was positively radiant and so were you, might I add. I just loved seeing your photo - you are so beautiful!

The ring pillow was delightful with the lace from your wedding dress....what a wonderful idea! And the flowers were gorgeous.

Thinking of you! Have a blessed weekend. Much love!

Patricia said...

Dear Sheri, Everything is exquisite! Jess is a radiant bride and you look fabulous in your lovely lace dress. I enjoyed this post so much, and studied every detail. The ring pillow is gorgeous, a chocolate bar is dreamy, and the wedding cake a triumph. The day must have been wonderful for you all. Thank you for sharing it all with us. Only another month or so until we have our own family wedding :)) xxoo

Oh, that was MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her teddy bear I'm assuming, from her childhood? GOODNESS, that is making me tear up!!!!

What a beauty of a woman she is, Sheri. And the photo of her being carried off...did that make you cry? SHEESH, I don't even have children but seeing her swept off would have made me weep. She is dainty and lovely, her dress so fitting for a petite princess, and THAT CAKE! WOW!

Then there's you. The sparkling dress, and your shoes (you showed us a while back) are stunning. How are you delightful friend?

Bliss and happiness to the new couple! And Teddy will wait for her because one day as a married woman, she will take him in her arms again, to remember.

Jeanie said...

I've been waiting for this post! (That last photo is my favorite!) What a gorgeous bride and every touch of the wedding decor is spot-on perfect! Loved the signs and flowers and that cake is magnificent! Every detail fit seamlessly with the next. And that ring pillow -- now, talk about something special!

And you, my dear -- you look like a rock star in that fabulous dress! I don't know that the photographer could get any photos that are lovelier than the ones you have here. Congratulations, my friend. I hope you are having a wonderful, long, relaxing break!
