Getting instructions on how to put on the veil
When I got back to the suite there was a present waiting for me!
My sister buttoning me into the dress
Tying the sash on a bridesmaid dress
And we're on our way!

Showing them off...
Chris with his groomsmen and groomswomen
Chris with his mom before the ceremony
Arriving at the Botanical Gardens
Getting a smile of approval from Chris's mom
My sister puts on the veil
My mom seeing me for the first time
My sister and niece, who also served as the flower girl
The bridesmaids and I...
Me with Chris's dad during the sign of peace
My sweet dad...
My dad giving a welcome toast - instant tears for me...
Chris's family has a tradition of singing a series of songs at weddings...
Including a German drinking song...
During the slideshow of childhood pictures
My mom getting teary
The kids all lined up in a row and cracked up laughing ay every picture
Our first dance was to "Kiss to Build a Dream On" by Louis Armstrong
We danced with our parents to "Blue Skies" by Willie Nelson
And then the 5 Card Studs began to play!
