The Wedding-Our Date

My older step brother Steve got married last night to his girlfriend of 14 years...They FINALLY realized they should get married. They have been together through thick and thin literally. They probably lost 30-50 lbs maybe more prior to the wedding all due to walking, cutting out all drinks but water and changing how much they ate-AMAZING!

It was a very nice wedding and one I had been looking forward to for months. I had babysitters lined up to watch the kids, Paul and I got new clothes, I had my hair done and a facial all in prep for this wedding-more then what I had done for my own wedding! This was a big night out for Paul and I! We were gone from 12pm - 11pm thanks to my friends and family for helping us out we had FUN!!!



Here is a picture of my hair thanks to Brittney Smith and I found out there was 40 hair pins holding it all together.

Here we are in the car on the way to the wedding WITH NO KIDS!!!

(as you can tell I'm super stoked)

Here is some pictures of some of my family before the ceremony my brother, step mom, my dad's sister and her hubby(Aunt & Uncle), my Dad, Paul and I the groom (my step brother) and bride.

I totally hate when you take a picture and your neck fat is showing- I don't take good pictures.

Here is the cake, it had many different flavors I tried...well maybe tried isn't the right word how about divulged in two flavors and a total of 3 pieces. Chocolate very creamy and a white with lemon filling, fruit and poppy seed it was great too! This did not help my neck fat I am sure!












I have so many pictures of Paul and I...






Here is Kira during the ceremony. Her dress was very pretty!

Oh my heavens the food was so good I had two full plates, I know what a pig I was but hey it was about 40 bucks a plate and 109 guests you do the math! I didn't want the food to go to waste mainly :)

This is not my plate cause I started eating it and it didn't look pretty but this is what it looked like. Potatoes, veggies, salad, the best chicken ever, salmon and a roll and yes I had it twice! My plate was heaped much higher :)

As the food and cake came out so did the drinking and the goofiness as you can tell Paul can get pretty goofy.

* I wasn't really drinking I don't drink at all, these were all posed shots I swear but there were a few people who were drinking and being a tad ummm loopy!

Of course you couldn't tell until the dancing came out and oh how I LOVE TO DANCE!!!! This is what I had been waiting for all night! A live band and my man was smokin!!! Oh BABY!

My Step Mom had a great time :) ! There were so many DIFFERENT people from all walks of life I wish I could have taken pictures of all of them but we had babies, drunks, Mama's to be, mama's, and BIG mama's! Same sex couples-that was interesting, we had the old people the young people the single people and the happy married couples. It was Great fun!




This is Jack Ben's girlfriend Natalie's brand new 1 week and 2 days old baby (no he is not the father).



Finally it was over and I only say finally because my legs and feet hurt from dancing! They had the guests hold sparklers as they went to the limo and it was beautiful! What a night! As of right now they are in flight to Europe for a 5 week honeymoon my brother said they spent 30,000 on this wedding and all night Paul and I kept saying WOW oh well they deserve it.
