Wedding Prep

 No one prepared me for how exhausting and messy the wedding prep would be. There are so many things to consider. I think the thing that got me the most was numbers. Numbers!  How many people? How many invitations? How much money? How many tables? How much food? How much money?  How many flowers? Then, the mess. Wedding blew up. 

Practice run on the make up and hair! Auntie Kay, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I can't really do the flowers, invitations, or hair. However, I stayed on top of paying people money. I think they appreciated that.   I think I did a great job on the organization. 

Wedding prep! Whew. I need a nap.

Weddings! But not who you think

 Before we could have Corrine and Landon's wedding in May, we needed to get through April. This was more difficult, and fun, that it sounds. I had THREE weddings before Corrines. The first, was Bethany Fox. You may believe in coincidence but I certainly do not. What are the chances that my best friend and walking partner has a daughter getting married within a month of Corrine's wedding? Very low. A very loving Heavenly Father knew that I would need Betsy through this experience and the one thing better than sympathy is empathy. So, Bethany got married!!!

Oh, Betsy I love you!

I love the Fox family so much. We have been through so much together and I know they are a blessing to me and my family. These people are all amazing.

 

Then, a loving Heavenly Father said, Camille, you need extra help and back up. Julie, my sister in law whom Im very close to, also had a wedding. Ok,she had two! TWO weddings in 8 days! Woah! First up, Andrew and Lyndzee.  Man I love these kids!

I love these two as well!

These cousins have been friends since birth and I am so grateful for that!

Aren't those some nice log slices? Keith made those for the several weddings.

Nicely stocked charcuterie board? Yep, my family kept that sucker looking good all night long!

More cousins. More happiness.

Schramm people waiting for Andrew and Lyndzee to come out.

 

Then, Anna and Koby! I also love these two! 

Kate got to hold the bridal bouquet until Anna came out. She reports it was heavy!

Aren't these two so cute?!  I love them!

I also LOVE this family. I love this family so much. We have also been through a lot with them and I am so grateful for them. I wish they didn't live in Michigan, but despite the distance, we are good friends and I am so grateful for that.

Another amazing log slice?  Yes, yes indeed.

Keith has been so good to help with whatever at the many weddings. There was much help require before, during, and after the weddings. He is a trooper!

It was such a blessing to help with these 3 weddings and spend time with their moms with weddings being the center of conversation.

Bridal Shower

 Corrine and Anna are getting married at about the same time (which is so exciting!). Neither of them enjoy being in the spotlight and both are pretty casual ladies. So, we decided to do an open house combined shower for the two cousins. I have heard that there were mixed reviews about the shower, but the girls both loved it! Since the showers were for them and about them, I'll be happy that they were well pleased. 

I sure love these girls! 

I feel bad I didn't get a lot of pictures at the shower. I was spending all of my energy visiting with so many great people. Just know, the shower happened and it was exactly how they wanted it!(Corrine and Annas words)

Thank you to everyone that came and supported them. We have so many good family and friends. How did we get so blessed?
