It has almost been a month since my sister, Lindsee, and EP got married. I have LOTS of pictures to share... The wedding was beautiful. It was a lovely day. Mild weather, sunshine, and lots of smiles! Enjoy the pictures and just a few notes and short stories about some of them below...
Lindsee had all sorts of signs that she wanted painted and used for decorations the day of the wedding. The official sign painters were myself, our Dad, Lindsee, and EP's Mom and Step-Dad.
Below is the view of the barn from where the guests would be seated later in the day.
Lindsee had a very beautiful flower bouquet made by herself and her friend Amelia. For the wedding Lindsee wore a pair of our Grandpa, Ernest Grant's boots. (He passed away about 4 years ago this fall. ) They looked great with her dress!
Lindsee and EP saw each other before the wedding, which then allowed us all to take a bunch of pictures before the wedding started.
LOTS of Lindsee and EP's friends came from many different states to watch them exchange their vows and then join in the wedding PARTY!
Below are the Bridesmaids and Flower Girls ~ Anne, Stacee, Lindsee, Amelia, Christen, Sarah, and Phoebe
Below are the Groomsmen and the couple, left to right ~ Jeff, Josh, Nick, Lindsee, Eric, Shawn, and Ben
Below are just a few of some of the best friends and ultimate frisbee team players a couple could have from Colorado.
Let the wedding begin! Walking down the aisle... EP and Cory, Ben and Christen,
Jeff and Anne,
Josh and Amelia, Nick and Matt,
Lindsee had told the girls before walking down the aisle that they shouldn't have any flower petals left once they got to the end of the aisle.... Phoebe threw out a few. Sarah threw out a lot and what she had left at the end, she turned her burlap bag upside down and emptied out onto the ground before she walked over and stood between Uncle Matt and I. (She took Lindsee very seriously about the Flower Girl job!)
Best Man ~ Shawn and Matron of Honor ~ Stacee, Flower Girls ~ Sarah and Phoebe.
Hugs all around This probably was one tear-jerker moment for some people... Lindsee and our Mom.
There were two readings during the ceremony. One by a friend, Hannah, and the other by EP's Step-Dad, Jim. Our Mom did a blessing and Matt sung a song. The happy couple also participated in a tree planting during the ceremony. They used dirt from their parents yards to plant the tree in... A combination of 3 soils from 3 different states (Kansas, Colorado, and California) coming together....
Hooray for being married to your favorite!
After walking back up the aisle with her HUSBAND, Aunt Lindsee and Silas did a fist bump!
After the wedding, there were special coloring books, bubbles, and hula hoops for all the kids...
And, yard games for anyone else who wanted to play before the dinner was served.
Wedding favors ~ "Let Love Grow" seed packets
There were some great places to take pictures all around the barn. Our Dad made this gigantic barn wood picture frame to hang and for families and groups of people to pose behind.
Great friends ~ Jackie and EP, Christen (9 months pregnant) and Jesse,
Kristen and Alan,
Arline and Lindsee, Delia and Lindsee,
Friend, EP, Hannah, and another Friend
Fun times! Wedding party introductions and entrances... Shawn and I couldn't think of a funny way to come in when we were announced, so literally last second he says to me, "We're in slow motion. Go!" It was hilarious. Especially when we did a slow motion jump!
Below, my favorite sister and I in the dinner line, and our "Popcorn Man", serving up the BEST WEDDING POPCORN in the state of Kansas ~ Uncle Charlie.
Smile and pig out for the Holidays, I mean the WEDDING!
And, there MUST always be LOTS of glass tinging and KISSING at a wedding! I am sure that this wedding met the kissing quota.
A dessert table ~ one of the YUMMIEST parts of any wedding! There were cupcakes, mints, nuts, no-bake cookies, a carrot cake, and lots of fruit pies.
Below, is a view looking down from the loft in the barn, just before and after some of the toasts.
After Matt and I did our toast we made sure to give Lindsee and EP a "sibling sandwich".
Let the dance begin.
Dad and daughter dance, then the mother and son dance, then a little Chicken Dance.
Then a break from dancing to play a little who knows each other better game with Lindsee and EP.
~ BEST DAY EVER ~
Happy Wedding sweet sister Lindsee and great new brother-in-law and fun Uncle EP!
I am so very happy for you both and loved being a part of your very best day ever.
