~~ The Happy Couple ~~

It might be a while before I get the pictures back, so I thought I would go ahead and post the ones that I do have.

Here are some pictures from the Hall on Friday when we went to decorate. It was completely empty when we got there except for the tables and chairs. It was such a joy to see everyone working together. I love what Lake and Craig had picked for everything. It was the first time I was able to see everything.


We ALL were peeling potatoes.  I don't know how Lake's Mom did what she did. All the food was cooked the day before. What fun we had peeling that 25 lb bag of  potatoes! Lots of laughs, and it went quickly.


All ready for Saturday!



Still chopping those potatoes up lol.



The rehearsal went very well, and didn't take too long. During the practice is when Lake received the phone call about the photographer not coming because of the snow expected on Saturday. Amazing to watch all the girls pull out their phones to get another person to do the photo's. And one was found.
Here she is practicing... Didn't have many pictures of the rehearsal. I was already getting teary..


Then a good Rehearsal dinner with 2 plus tables with 20 people. It was late, and we were all tired. George gave a wonderful toast to the happy couple!




Saturday getting ready.... 



We made it there, despite the snow. I gave George a big kiss for getting us there safely.

....  A shot of the cake.



I got the biggest kick out of the High Five couple :)



And here we go ~~~ George and I entered the room first.

Very Happy Parents :)



Brother and Sister



I was able to retrieve a picture taken outside in the snow from Jessica's facebook pictures.


Before the reception, the girls fooling around  lol.



And their first dance to the song "The very thought of you". This is where I lost it.  They looked so lost in each other, so very happy....  It was absolutely beautiful :)  Lake did a wonderful job at picking out music.



The reception was a wonderful time. Lake thought it would be fun to change into costumes. She loves Halloween. The girls changed and so did Lake.  Other people had costumes on too.  
Here is one shot of Lake and her Maid of Honor Jessica.



I didn't want to bore you with picture after picture (all though I could have posted every one!)of everyone coming down the aisle,the reception, family,  etc. So I tried to sum it up the best I could.  It was a Fabulous day, the food was Outstanding (standing ovation to Lakes Mom Verna, and her sisters and family for cooking the food), everyone enjoyed themselves,  and we couldn't be more happier for Craig and Lake. We wish them many, many, many years of Love and Happiness.!
