Growing up we called Bill and Peggy our second parents. Their daughter, Katie, got married on June 12. Mom, Dad, Angie, and Matt came to Dallas/Plano for a visit. It was also very fun to have one of my best friends, Jill and her husband, Brian come to the wedding. I love a wedding! Lots of fun!
The wedding was at Hunters’ Glen Baptist church, where I grew up as a kid. I was baptized there and spent much of my youth days growing up, going to camps, mission trips, etc. and making so many lifelong friends. It is always special to return there. The wedding was beautiful with greens and purples!
Katie and Adam.
My sister, Angie is closest in age to Katie, so they were like sisters in their early years, before the family moved to Michigan in 1994. Angie was a bridesmaid. Above she is escorted by Scott, brother of the bride. I love this picture. (By the way, no one is even phased when they see me with my camera, they’ll even stop and pose in the middle of a wedding so I can get the perfect shot. Love it!!!)
Ang was posing with the bridal party and she didn’t even know I was zoomed in on her, and the professional photographer said, “Okay, Let’s take a silly one!” And, this is what I got… perfection!
We’re so happy to have Matt joining our family. He is wonderful!
The beaming bride… I love this moment, after the ceremony, when the bride is finally relaxed because the nerve racking part is over… woo hoo, time to party!
A few candids of some of my favorite people first… sisters!
Jill and hubby, Brian. I’m surprised Jill and I didn’t get shushed during the wedding. We are so silly together…
Hadn’t seen these before.. moss covered monograms. A for Adam, K for Katie on the doors into the sanctuary. Beauty.
Love this… Rylan’s shirttail out, Jayden loosening his tie… Let’s get to the party!
Bride and Groom… first dance!
Our table… it took like a hundred tries to get this shot right. :)
I warned you, Jill and I are very silly. When no one was looking, we stole some weird shots with the cakes and fruit!
Tammy with Jazz hands… my signature move. (or so I’ve been told!)
The
bride dancing with her daddy, Bill.
I just love it when a bride gets down. So much fun… nothing like it!
My children got a little crazy with the dancing… Rylan tearing it up with some break dancing!
This pic makes me happy!
Matt getting down with Rylan and Bryce
I love Katie’s dancing shoes -“I Do” Converse
And Scott, brother of the bride’s shoes!
Mom, with some of her Plano friends from back in the day!
Angie caught the bouquet and Matt caught the boutonniere… hmmm… almost like the planned it!
Still having fun!
The next afternoon, brunch at The Blue Goose, Mom and Dad’s favorite Mexican restaurant.
Great times!
Daddy shopped with Jayden for his clothes for the big day!
Finally Jayden worked up the nerve to take a picture with Mrs. Harris. At every school event, I would ask him to take a picture with her, but he was too shy. We can’t wait to meet her new baby girl, due in July! One time towards the end of the year, I asked Jayden if her belly was getting big, and he said, “Yes, she has a WHOLE baby in there now!” 
Rylan loves his broccoli so much he was eating it with both hands and two forks.
