Sunday Before the Wedding

Scott and JoAnna before meeting--these two were sort of inseparable this weekend too.

Philip got the computer and TV to communicate--he is so clever.

The bridal pie--it was amazingly beautiful and yummy!

Mom and Sheri. Poor Sheri was given the task of stirring the giant pots of beans with the giant utensil. 

Sheri also won all the kids affections after meeting by stopping by Holiday and buying everyone a fountain drink. 

We love Sheri! 

Tablecloth discussions

Setting up outside. The lights were tricky and ended up not working out as planned despite Wilson's best efforts and the tablecloths were insisting on blowing off. It was interesting! 

Making pies beautiful

The groom

Uncle Toad

Yep. 

That wind. I think this will soon be in Martha Stewart weddings as the windblown table look. 

Penelope's fancy hair

Some pre-wedding pictures

The photographer rearranging Amanda

The guys levitating

Weddings make them float apparently

Elsie did not do quite as nice a job in real life as she had in the reception. I think her dress was a little tight and hot and her focus and duty were definitely affected. 

Yup--just bunching the bridal gown into one fist. 

oooo boy! 

Milling around for family pictures

Cody feeling a little warm. 

The forecast was for mid 70's. But it was a little warmer than that.

Abilene is feeling a little hot and tired right here.

It was a trick to get the Abilene-girl to smile!

But we eventually, sort of did it

Us-ins

Those Cottens

Hellwig girls minus Audrey who was off flower girling somewhere else

This is pretty normal Tyler

And there is the photographer, doing her thing.
