It was a beautiful outside wedding!
They built this bridge the week before the wedding.
Bethany (bride) and Selah (flower girl)
We've known Bethany since she was 3 !
She was a junior bridesmaid in my wedding ... nine years ago (last week was our anniversary!)
The handsome ring-bearer.
I think Bethany picked him because his hair matched her wedding colors ....
Simon did a great job. We aided his cooperative behavior with plenty of Chuck E. Cheese tokens that we had with us for that purpose ....
When Matt was explaining to Simon his role in the wedding, he told him about how he was carrying the rings down the aisle and how important the rings were. THIS IS A TRUE STORY ... Simon asked if the ring was the RING OF DOOM ...
That makes for a funny wedding blurb.
(Simon watched the cartoon version of Return of the King which prompted the 'ring of doom' question)
This was a beautiful cake!
I loved how Bethany used her Willow Tree figuring that she received as an engagement gift as her cake-topper.
Here is Simon waiting and wondering when he should exit the ceremony. The flower girl skipped out on him about 2 minutes into the ceremony. Thankfully, Simon didn't follow her which surprised me because he was quite taken with her.
The groom and his bestman (his brother) and Bethany's little brother all wore kilts in honor of the groom, Jonathan Ferguson's, Scottish heritage. Their family motto is "Sweetness out of Difficulties" which the pastor combined with the scriptures about joy from sorrow and beauty for ashes. Jonathan included in his hand-written vow the promise to be a strong spiritual leader for their family and to not always be practical. He included a lot more promises, but those two really stood out to me.
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Ferguson
The giving of the bride ....
Sorry the pic are out of order
Evie-Grace's first ride in our bike-trailer one weekend morning.
Simon took this picture of the flower girl.
This is the last couple to walk back down the aisle in the procession and they were sweet to grab Simon's hand and include him and help him figure out how to exit.
Matt making sure our kids are safe.
I call this the 'arc of love.'
This is a hand-crafted dress mom bought for Evie at a boutique before she was born. It never fit her very well until now and it works great as a tank-top.
If Matt was demonstrating the 'arc of love' I guess this could be demonstrating the 'crunch of love.'

Looks like a really pretty wedding. Simon looks very dapper in his suit. We missed you guys this weekend!
I remember when Bethany was an adorable little girl. She is beautiful now!

Aww. We miss you guys. We just bought Ava a tiny bike helmet this weekend at the Resale in faith that one day soon we'll get a bike trailer.
